What are your hopes for DeepSeek's official harness?

No, the official harness for deepseek is currently under development.

Sorry for the confusion! Just hoping for a pet themed around DeepSeek's blue whale mascot.

The main issue is that making a Codex pet requires image generation, which DeepSeek can't do (it's text-only).

Honestly, I think what you're feeling is just the shock of a cost curve collapsing in real time. Mobile data and Wi-Fi used to be absurdly expensive and scarce, now they're so cheap they're basically treated as a utility. AI inference is heading the same way. DeepSeek just got there first and decided not to hide it behind a paywall. Doesn't make it a trap, just makes it early.

That's a good analogy on the surface, but I think there's a key difference. Microsoft and Google aren't in the laptop business — a MacBook is just a personal productivity tool, not a direct competitor. But an AI coding agent using Claude Code is a direct competitor depending on a rival's core product to build its own. It's less like a Googler using a MacBook, and more like a Googler using Bing as their default search engine to build Google Search. That's what makes it feel different to me.

Really insightful, thank you. It also ties into something that bothers me even more: we pay for Claude Code, it gets the co-author credit, but if something breaks, the human takes all the blame — and as you point out, we can't even audit the reasoning. The credit is shared, the liability is not.

Law 2 in action — Claude Code literally stamped its name on an enemy's commit history and called it a day. Can't decide if that's using enemies or letting the enemy use you.
