……起因很大程度上就是大家都在拼命追逐 RSU 或什么别的利益，却没意识到咱们的产品正在拼凑出一个何等疯狂的反乌托邦治理层。直面这个问题的技术圈原生切入点包括：- VR 之父 Jaron Lanier 的《Who Owns the Future》 - Vernor Vinge 的《True Names》（开头带随笔的版本） - 密码朋克（cypherpunks）出品的任何东西，包括早期的 Bitcoin 文档。你可以不同意这项技术，而且……
…the cause is very much chasing RSUSs or w/e while not realizing the crazy dystopian governance layer our products are stitching together. Tech-native starting points that address this heads on: - “who owns the future,” Jaron Lanier, father of VR - “True Names,” the version with essays at the beginning, Vernor Vinge - Anything out of the cypherpunks, to include early bitcoin docs. You can disagree with the tech and…
……当时的许多预言在今天彻底应验了，甚至超越了《Neuromancer》、《Cryptonomicon》这类寻常科幻的映射，但关于它的讨论却并不多（就像这个帖子一样）。更新——可以看看 Jaron Lanier 的《Who Owns the Future》，它给出了一个很现代的视角，把上述问题讨论得很透彻，而且他本身就有技术背景背书。[0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetic_Culture_Research_Un...

…time) outcomes that came very true today even beyond the usual Neuromancer/Cryptonomicon/Sci-Fi mappings, yet there isn't much discussion on it (like this thread). edit - would check out Jaron Lanier, 'who owns the future,' for a pretty modern take that discusses the above well and he has tech bonafides.

Google 就是个“塞壬服务器”（siren server）。去读读 Jaron Lanier 的《Who Owns the Future?》吧……关于 SEO 垃圾内容，向来就是这副德行。不同之处在于，如今 Google 还想霸占所有你感兴趣的内容，变得更加强大，并且窃取……

我刚写了一封邮件，觉得正好能回答你的问题，索性贴在这儿：嗨，我在读了 Jaron Lanier 的《Who Owns the Future》之后就在琢磨类似的事（如果你还没读过的话，单冲他关于资本主义经济如何靠小额支付维持下去的观点，我也推荐一读）。世界需要类似的东西，哪怕仅仅是因为后付费的概念……
I typed out an email and thought I'd just leave it here as it answers your question: Hi, I was thinking about something like this after reading Jaron Lanier's Who Owns the Future (which I recommend simply for his view on how a capitalist economy could subsist on micropayments, if you haven't read it).
