Of all the descriptions of IRC I gotta say, that one definitely does not sound like it comes from a sober mind. Nice Scarface reference btw.

It's not that far out of line with the status quo:
"Indeed, to assess WeWork by conventional metrics is to miss the point, according to [Chief Executive Officer Adam] Neumann. WeWork isn’t really a real estate company. It’s a state of consciousness, he argues, a generation of interconnected emotionally intelligent entrepreneurs."

My apologies. What I'm trying to say with that overly-loaded statement is that IRC values people for who they are and doesn't judge a book by its cover.

#6A fair few open source projects mentioned there. If they can be keeping things open while truly helping the existing IRC projects then that would be cool.

We are always told by marketing types that what we perceive isn't real; instead, it's always something at least one level above that. Purely designed to manipulate an emotional response from the reader/viewer.
I can say for me it certainly does cause an emotional response, but not the one WeWork or London Trust Media are hoping for.

I dunno, I think it’s an expression of the internet that’s better than the average.

#10I'm interested to see how they manage to convince communities to use their IRC services over competitors like Discord when so many users see Discord as easy, free, trendy, etc. Of course services liks Slack, Telegram, Skype, etc, are also potential competitors in this ecosystem.
>IRC Gaming (We're going to have literally hundreds of thousands in cash prizes!) I suppose literally paying users money is one way, but it doesn't sound very sustainable. Some of their other projects like "IRC Ventures (VC/Incubation on IRC!)" are pretty hard to imagine the specifics about, but hopefully we'll see some interesting positive actions sooner or later to show us what they really intend to do.
