有一种狂热就是匆忙地改 pitch deck 把新东西加进去，以至于只要公司发布了人们使用的产品，就会把这种完全多余的附加功能硬塞到人们使用的产品上，常常极大地损害产品，有时甚至给公司带来致命的损害。
There has been a kind of mania for hastily changing the pitch deck to include the new thing and to the extent that the company has shipped a product that people use to bolt this entirely superfluous add-on to a product that people use often to its great detriment and sometimes to the fatal detriment of the company.

这差不多就是「劣化」这个论题的核心：在一个竞争被排挤、监管者被收买、工人被驯服、而通过互操作性进入新市场被知识产权法的扩张定为非法的世界里，公司可以把东西做得更糟，却仍然留住客户。
This is more or less what the thesis of inshittification is, that in a world in which competition has been sidelined, regulators have been captured, workers have been tamed, and new market entry through interoperability has been made illegal by the expansion of IP laws, companies can make worse things and still keep their customers.

人类被征用，沦为机器一个不幸的外围设备，被迫以机器的节奏和耐力来工作——机器比你更快、更强壮、更有耐力——于是你不只是被机器使用，而是被机器用尽。
The human conscripted to be an unfortunate peripheral to the machine, being worked at the pace and to the endurance of the machine, which is faster, stronger, and has more endurance than you, not just being used by a machine then, but being used up by the machine.

然后你又有另一些工人，同样技艺娴熟、同样有成就、同样叙述可靠地讲述他们的经历，他们说，天哪，你简直不敢相信我们正在制造多少技术债，以及我们制造它的规模。

另一边是反向半人马。他们在更糟糕的条件下、以更快的速度，生产着更劣质的产出。
The other side is a reverse centaur. They are producing inferior outputs at a faster pace under worse conditions.

而且我认为，它验证了关于科幻小说最重要的一句格言：重要的不是那些装置能做什么，而是它们为谁做、又对谁做。
And it validates, I think, the most important aphorism about science fiction, which is that the important thing is not what gadgets do, it’s who they do it for and who they do it to.

正如 Bruce Schneier 所说，任何人都能设计出一个好到自己都想不出破解办法的安全系统。但这不意味着它真的有效。只意味着它对比你笨的人有效。
And as Bruce Schneier says, anyone can devise a security system that works so well that they themselves can’t think of a way of breaking it. It doesn’t mean that it works. It just means it works on people stupider than you.
