English Summary
Ed Zitron's manifesto argues modern software is already tech debt inside a "Rot Economy" — Google Docs turns paragraphs into headings, Slack and Discord are digital Escher staircases — and wiring LLMs into these products only compounds the convolution; giving a machine that may randomly delete your files more authority is not progress. His sharpest contrast is social: trillion-dollar bets on teaching machines to do things, while the US never spent a trillion on making people better off. He grounds the skepticism in his own experiments — 30 minutes to get a barely-working Minecraft addon for his son, a PS5-controller mod that broke menus, with crash-log triage the only stable use — and concludes AGI is not a thing worth planning around; the money should go back to actual people, and LLMs do not belong in healthcare, finance, or therapy.
中文摘要
Ed Zitron 的立场宣示把这一波 AI 行业骂得最直白：现代软件本身已是 Rot Economy 里的技术债——Google Docs 改字号会把段落变标题、邮件仍是垃圾、Slack/Discord 是数字埃舍尔，LLM 接入这些产品只是让 convoluted 更 convoluted，给一台「可能随机删除你文件」的机器更高权限不是进步。最有力的对照是社会投入：万亿美金赌机器学会做事，而「美国几时花过万亿让人变好」。他承认自己实验过 LLM：给儿子的 Minecraft 装 addon 调试 30 分钟才勉强能用，PS5 手柄 mod 会顺带搞坏菜单，唯一稳定用途是丢崩溃日志问 why broken。结论：不存在 AGI，这笔钱该投回真实的人；LLM 不该进医疗/金融/心理领域，也不该像人一样说话。
Why It Matters
AI 批评侧的基准文本：论据不是直觉而是社会投入的对照与亲身实验的失败样本，做 AI 产业分析时这是必须能反驳（或引用）的一篇。
