Viral DeepSeek staffer chat claims benchmark scores rose on their own; Opus translates the humblebrag

Viral (unverified) screenshots of alleged DeepSeek employee chats humblebrag that they didn't optimize for benchmarks—"scores just went up on their own" and "we play games all day and the model keeps getting stronger," including training DS's gaming ability and DeepSWE scores that "keep climbing no matter what." The attached image shows Opus translating and annotating the Chinese slang: "shua" means gaming a benchmark, "I get what you mean" is sarcastic, and the joke is nobody believes the "we didn't cheat" insistence. The original post quips about how GLM and Kimi staffers must feel.
