Soylent Green — 威化餅
Richard Fleischer / Harry Harrison (AD 1973)
一種餵飽身體但餓死真相嘅口糧。卦廿七係輸入嘅倫理：啲乜入你把口——同埋你跟住吞低啲乜故仔。威化餅係有效率、可擴充，同災難性咁失實。唔查來源你就會食緊其他人嘅利潤同埋大話。『Soylent Green is people』流傳落嚟因為佢講出咗方便嘅隱藏代價。

Practical Guidance
紐約，2022年（電影時間線）。四千萬人。Soylent 公司派綠色威化餅——標籤話係高能量浮游生物。有效率、可擴充、餵飽數百萬人。Thorn 調查。發現威化餅唔係浮游生物。係安樂死中心處理嘅循環人類遺體。系統靠隱瞞輸入運作。
卦廿七：頤（養育）。把口係道閘。入嘅嘢決定健康定污染。古文問兩個問題：你吸收緊啲乜？實際來源係乜？
你從 npm 吸收依賴項、從第三方 API 吸收數據、從你冇訓練嘅模型吸收建議。介面話『可信任』。標籤話『企業級』。你唔查來源。你唔檢查威化餅用乜整。輸入餵緊你個系統，同時用其他人嘅假設、偏見同利潤毒緊佢。
失敗模式唔係惡意篡改。係方便嘅盲目。你信標籤因為查嘅成本高。但未檢查嘅輸入變成結構性脆弱。供應商執笠；你嘅依賴鏈斷。API 改條款；你個產品停止運作。模型漂移；你嘅結果污染。
Soylent Green 流傳因為佢講出咗唔問嘅代價。吞輸出之前查來源。養育需要審查，唔淨係效率。把口係你控制嘅閘——定係控制你嘅閘。
