TeortaxesTex: a DeepSeek paper on building unrestricted models would be more disruptive than the models
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-31
Discussion around rumors that DeepSeek might ship an unrestricted model ("if this is a LARP, it's a pretty high quality LARP").
Replying to a question, teortaxesTex argues that more disruptive than DeepSeek shipping another "unrestricted cybernuke model" would be DeepSeek publishing a paper on how to build one — open-sourcing the capability-diffusion methodology itself. He also jokes about forgetting an idea before falling asleep.
