Chinese AI Community Warning: Don't Get Trapped by DeepSeek Plugin Ecosystem, Solve Real Needs
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-14
A quoted Chinese essay is gaining traction, comparing DeepSeek's technical ecosystem to the 'Sophon' from The Three-Body Problem, arguing that its immense technical appeal has locked in brilliant developers for about six months.
The author points out that being overly obsessed with hand-crafting plugins and bottom-level Agent architectures causes developers to lose interest in fully packaged products. This is likened to the 1970s hippie 'Dome-building movement'—fun to build, but practically leaky and hard to maintain.
The author urges developers to wake up from the extreme technical high, stop indulging in the 'everything is a plugin' illusion, and pivot to solving real-world pain points for ordinary users like lawyers and teachers.
