Um, so why announce something before even a paper with replicable details is available? To put it bluntly, what are we supposed to do with the information?
I could be less harsh if this was some grant requirement to release a report before a certain date, but I don't see any grant funding declaration.
We're excited about the potential and want to find other folks also excited about it that are interested in working for/with us to build things on the foundations of DisTrO!
Plus also it's so cool and mind boggling to us that we wanted to share the hype a little bit, it was hard not being able to tell anyone we were working on it
I'm happy to have the project on my radar, and though they could be a bit clearer about the provisional nature of the research I don't think it's wrong to want to hype the potential of it a bit.
