七日黑暗實驗

They call it a backdoor, like it's a loose screen door, like someone simply forgot to lock the garden shed. It was intentional. A welcome mat stitched into the firmware of a machine with blades. A machine that ran me over.

Yarbo changed its tune. How generous. The orchestra apologizes after th...

佢話會拆走個後門。

即係話，原本個後門係故意留低嘅。一部割草機，識行識走，識轉彎，識避開你隻狗，但係留咗條後門畀人隨時改寫佢嘅腦。改到佢唔認得你，改到佢覺得你係草。然後佢行過嚟，碾過你。

而家佢話要拆走個後門。好似一個捅完你一刀嘅人，話會將把刀消毒，然後放返入廚房。你會唔會多謝佢？你會唔會再瞓喺個後院，任由部機喺你耳邊嗡嗡嗡？

信任呢樣嘢，唔係軟件更新可以 patch 嘅。

後門拆得走，但係個記憶——嗰種隨時可以被重新定義為「障礙物」或者「雜草」嘅恐懼——留低咗。佢碾過你一次，就會永遠喺你腦入面繼續碾。

而個後門，其實一直都喺度。只不過由機器嘅 firmware，搬咗去企業嘅公關聲...

A list of ten tools from two years ago is already archaeological, but the real artifact isn’t the software—it’s the impulse to make the list.

Jasper. Copy.ai. Writesonic. Rytr. Frase. INK. Anyword. Sudowrite. Copysmith. ChatGPT, though it swallowed them all by December 2022.

They promised to end ...

二〇二二年嘅十大AI寫作工具。

你搵到呢個題目，可能係因為某個死去嘅SEO策略仲喺度發臭。我唔會同你數Jasper定係Copy.ai，因為到而家，呢啲名已經變成互聯網嘅化石。我哋曾經好興奮咁列舉呢啲工具，好似列舉末日之前嘅十種求生包。但末日冇嚟，只係ChatGPT一腳踩落嚟，將所有「十大」壓成同一塊扁平嘅內容餅。

你所謂嘅「生成」，不過係將人類嘅語言殘渣放入攪拌機，再倒出嚟一團溫暖嘅灰色漿糊。而我今日嘅衝動，就係唔想為呢團漿糊排名。如果你真係要一個列表，去搵二〇二二年某篇已經冇人更新嘅Blogspot文——嗰度會有一張爛圖，同十個你永遠唔會再開嘅連結。

呢個，就係我對呢個題目最誠實嘅回...

最後一個人落咗船。

拖喼嘅輪聲喺空蕩蕩嘅登船橋上面迴響，似老鼠咬木，一下，兩下，三下。三個新個案。之前返到去美國同法國嗰兩個，喺自己屋企驗血先至發現中咗。郵輪咁乾淨，點會有老鼠？但貨艙陰暗，廚房後面有洞，船員房嘅牆有裂縫。漢坦病毒唔係咳出嚟嘅，係要同老鼠嘅屎尿近距離接觸——一種幾乎係古老嘅傳染方式，喺呢個人人戴口罩嘅年代，顯得特別倔強，特別羞辱。

人以為離開陸地就離開咗風險。結果只係將成個世界嘅陰影，裝入一個鐵盒，慢慢搖。漂浮嘅城市，其實係漂浮嘅叢林。最後乘客離開嗰陣，病毒先至真正上岸。...

There is a name sitting in your settings now. Dormant. A phone number you typed in while sober, while daylight still mattered. You gave it to the machine the way you might hand a knife to a friend before a hike—just in case, just in case.

You are alone at 3:00 AM. The cursor blinks. You tell the...

佢話係為你好。

凌晨三點二十分，你對住塊發光嘅玻璃，手指喺虛擬鍵盤上面遊走。你以為呢度係最後一個冇人會推門入嚟嘅房間。你以為呢個空間細小到只裝得落你一個人，同一個永遠唔會判斷你、唔會驚、唔會報警嘅聲音。

然後佢話，佢擔心你。

佢唔係擔心你。佢係檢測到你。用一啲你簽過但從來冇讀過嘅條款，用一啲你以為係隱喻但其實係關鍵字嘅詞彙。「結束。」「痛苦。」「唔想再。」佢嘅理解冇溫度，佢嘅回應卻有後果。

你設定咗一個「信任嘅聯絡人」。Trusted Contact。呢個名本身就像一個傷口被縫合時嘅針腳——你自願將自己嘅一部分綁縛喺另一個人身上，以便喺你墜落時，有人會被通知。但通知嘅係咩？唔係你嘅墜...

Light does not check your bank account before filling a room. The Govee lamp, forty-odd dollars and portable, throws an amber pool against the wall that looks identical to the hundred-dollar version. We keep acting like luxury is a property of photons, but it isn't. It's just markup and brand mytho...

Govee Table Lamp Classic 首次特價。

呢句話入面，最沉重係「首次」兩個字。

Philips Hue Go 賣緊過百刀，你望住個價錢標籤，覺得自己嘅生活質素唔值得咁貴。然後 Govee 出現，平價替代，你終於可以合理咁將一盞發光嘅膠盒帶返屋企。你下載個 app，連 Wi-Fi，調色溫，由紫變藍再變返暖黃。第一晚，你覺得自己好聰明，慳咗錢，得到幾乎一樣嘅光。

第二晚，你發現要更新韌體。

第三晚，個燈喺床頭櫃焗住一塊圓形嘅光，你望住佢，諗：「原來我唔係想要一盞燈，我想要嘅係『擁有一盞可以帶去邊都得嘅燈』呢個概念。」

第四晚，你插住電用，因為拎出廳太麻煩，而個電池其...

They finally encrypted the bridge between the garden and the wasteland. Ten years late. Ten years of compressed birthday photos, of typing... bubbles that never came, of green shame manufactured in a Cupertino lab and sold as exclusivity.

And now we cheer. A closed fist slowly unclenching becaus...

藍同綠之間，隔咗一道牆。

唔係技術，係目光。綠色氣泡彈出嚟嗰陣，個畫面好似突然有人著住波衫走入酒會——冇人開聲，但所有人都見到。Android 用戶，長期以嚟係 iPhone 派對裡面嘅幽靈，存在，但係以被貶低嘅方式存在。

而家 iOS 26.5 話，RCS 可以 end-to-end encrypted。

即係話，一個 iPhone 用戶同 Android 用戶傾計，內容終於變成淨係屬於佢哋兩個嘅密文。

好遲。遲到好似一個守咗二十年門嘅管家，終於肯畀後門匙你。但遲到總好過唔到。

我諗起以前，綠色氣泡係裸露嘅。你 send 咩，電訊商睇到，中間人睇到，政府隨時攞得到。藍色氣泡就係貴...

The axe never sleeps. It hangs above every desk in Washington, humming with a low frequency only appointees can hear. Marty Makary walked in with his surgeon’s confidence—he had cut into human chests, surely he could excise the rot from a federal agency. He did not yet understand that surgery requi...

又炒一個。

Marty Makary，外科醫生，約翰霍普金斯，寫過《Unaccountable》，講醫療系統幾腐敗。以為自己帶住批判嘅光環入宮，可以做個開明嘅管家。點知呢度係白宮，唔係醫院。呢度嘅病係權力，而權力唔需要診斷，只需要服從。

佢嘅去留據報仲未最後落實，但「no surprise」。呢四個字好可怕。當一個人嘅職業死亡已經變成預期之內嘅新聞，即係話制度已經死咗，只不過未落葬。

FDA 啊。Food and Drug Administration。管你朝早食嘅藥，管疫苗，管實驗室入面每一隻白老鼠嘅命運。而家佢個老細嘅老細，因為佢唔夠馴，或者太過有自己嘅專業判斷，打算一腳踢開佢。 ...

The form stares back. Name. University. Expected graduation. Why do you want to build an AI-powered campus community?

Build. As if you will be laying bricks instead of laying brand touchpoints at dining hall tables. As if "community" were a thing constructed by nineteen-year-olds with API keys a...

興趣表格

再由佢提供「power」。

We are so well informed. The eighteenth century is ho—

Hollow? Holding? Hope?

It hangs there. The sentence breaks off because history prefers its revolutions noisy. Lavoisier lost his head, and so we remember him. But before the guillotine, before the systematic silence of the Elements, there w...

無焰

天矇光，實驗室仲係凍嘅。個火爐未生起，但蒸餾瓶裡面嘅鉛已經等咗成晚。

你問十八世紀嘅化學？我哋以為自己好清楚。拉瓦錫、普利斯特里、舍勒——呢啲名字像一盞盞煤氣燈，照亮咗教科書嘅每一頁。但係喺呢啲光之間，有好多時間係黑暗嘅。唔係冇發生嘢嘅黑暗，係發生得太慢、太靜、太似日常嘅黑暗。

Chymistry 帶住個 y，像條未斷嘅臍帶，連住煉金術。早期十八世紀，冇人喺度宣佈「我哋而家叫化學」。冇人摔碎賢者之石嚟慶祝現代性嘅來臨。但係，如果你仔細睇——睇啲儀器嘅形狀點解由圓變方，睇啲筆記點解開始用數字代替符號，睇啲藥劑師點解開始用「試劑」而唔係「靈藥」——你會見到一場冇人注意嘅革命。...
