Viral theory claims RSI-capable models can't be open-sourced, DeepSeek dates are frozen snapshots

A user speculated that next-gen models with RSI (recursive self-improvement) capabilities can't be open-sourced due to security and legal risks, and that DeepSeek's date-suffixed releases may be frozen snapshots of a V5-era capability set.
teortaxesTex quote-tweeted it with a dismissive "Anon, I…", signaling clear disagreement. The theory has no official basis and is circulating as an open-source-boundary debate in the AI community.
