Everyone reading this article: Don't fall for it.

There're scientific evidence that collaboration > individualism. Please, just search online about it. If it wasn't the case, do you really think every company in the world would just work in collaboration without any particular reason?

This has no relation with collaboration. Being nitpicky about a PR is wrong, you should have a linter or enforce the culture of not being nitpicky about code.

This is not a "culture of collaboration" by any means.

Re:The Promised LAN on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @04:16PM (#44663508)
Creating all of this is cool, but I don't know, it looks like a gimmick.

The whole argument is: "Every other page I find myself on now has an AI generated click-bait title, shared for rage-clicks all brought-to-you-by-our-sponsors–completely covered wall-to-wall with popup modals, telling me how much they respect my privacy"

Well, you'll still need content outside your friends group. Even with the "Promised LAN" you'll continue having the same experience.

And what for? What are the use cases? Exchange files? Jokes? Chatting? The examples given: "It’s incredible how much network transport and a trusting culture gets you—there’s a 3-node IRC network, exotic hardware to gawk at, radios galore, a NAS storage swap, LAN only email, and even a SIP phone network of “redphones”."

Ok, fun. But you'll still need WhatsApp/Facetime to talk to your mom, the whole internet to search and learn, sometimes social networks to communicate or to get a job, etc etc etc.

But wait, which LLM models were used to train Kimi? It wasn't clear on the report.
