> The media lab is made up of a large number of research teams doing very different stuff. It is unfair to just say "the media lab does X or operates like X". Look at the research from the DCI group at the media on zero knowledge proofs systems [0], hash-based accumulators [1], or work on Ring Signatures [2]. I have no dog in the fight, but I feel like if any entity is branding itself as a discrete entity, then you take the lumps of the branding just as you take the brand recognition. If you're "part of the MIT Media lab", then this affects your reputation in the eyes of the public.
