硅谷 第六季

我喜欢我不懂的 喜欢我想做又做不到的 我喜欢我没有的 但也不是这些的全部 而硅谷刚好落在“我爱死了”的这个区间内 我喜欢Richard又冷又烂的双关梗 每一个富有个性 现实中难得一见的角色 喜欢它不讲没完没了的感情纠葛 却也在商场上展现人性 第六季将近尾声时Russ的全息投影在沙漠上升起 那一刻我竟然想起的是曼哈顿博士 去年是因为打比赛才真正关注隐私权 后来看了第四公民 读了斯诺登的自传 就是...最后的发布会上突然流淌着《月光》 然后是一首不知名又忧伤的钢琴曲 不知道说什么好 突然感觉好累 今年最喜欢的电视剧 感谢silicon valley的主创们 在2020年愿意煲一锅温情的鸡汤 我们至少还相信底线 对吗

阿斯伯格综合征：俗称天才病，患者多自闭却有奇才。 斯沃特分析：即基于内外部竞争环境和竞争条件下的态势分析，就是将与研究对象密切相关的各种主要内部优势、劣势和外部机会和威胁等，通过调查列举出来，并依照矩阵形式排列，然后用系统分析的思想，把各种因素相互匹配起来加以分析，从中得出一系列相应的结论，而结论通常带有一定的决策性。 彼得·格里高利在第二季突然死亡的结局，让我挺意外的，果然明天和意外谁也不知道那个会先到来。我还挺喜欢他的，他沉溺于自己的世界里，思考问题的方式和见解非常独特，虽然出场不多但很容易被他吸引。他通过汉堡王的芝麻发现期货商机那段真的很精彩，他的联想能力和数据分析处理能力让人赞叹。商机无处不在，只是我们看不见而已。 毁灭事物的能力，源自对其的完全掌控。——弗兰克·赫伯特《沙丘》 应该投资的不是产品，是人。（我非常认同莫妮卡剧中这句话） 我知道你觉得我是个垃圾艺术家，没关系，我就是。但我有种天赋，能让别人在毫无意识的情况下，做我想让他们做的事情。查理德，你有我见过最棒的技术，你能改变世界，你只是需要让人们为它兴奋起来，我就是来干这个的，我们一起，伙计。（语言的艺术） 理查德，你现在觉得，成功就能让你的行为变合理？ 我们本来身处危机之中，好吗？没错，我是一时糊涂，但现在危机解除了，是时候恢复人身保护令了，重新做回好林肯。 那下次危机来临时怎么办？理查德。 贾里德，这种事再也不会发生了，我发誓，让我们一起享受成功，一分钟就好，求你了。（捷径走多了，真的会改变人的思维模式。下一次出问题的时候，就会更容易滑向道德的深渊。) 做我们该做的事时，我们不需要赞誉，因为这是我们的责任所在。——圣奥古斯丁 恭喜你们发行首次代币项目。 我想你听了会很开心，离我们的预期还有一定的距离。 正相反，莫妮卡，你有价值。我觉得你不该放弃，和能施展你才华的公司合作。同理，我也应该如此。 你不会感到难过吗？ 我毫无感觉，莫妮卡，我们是朋友，不应该让生意破坏了这份友谊。（超酷的。最初我是真的没有预料到她们两个之间的友情会如此深厚，看这段的时候，我蛮感动的。我觉得她和其他CEO都挺不一样的，虽然他们同样理性智慧追逐利益，但有时候你能感受到她的坦率笨拙和直线思维，这让她更加可爱和特别。选择权掌握在自己的手中。） 吉尔弗约尔，这是说你已经克服了对机器人崛起的恐惧吗？ 正相反，我比以前更害怕了。如果无所不能的人工智能的崛起是不可避免，可以预见的，那么等人工智能掌权的时候，我们这位电子统治者就会惩罚我们中间那些没有帮助他们崛起的人。因此，我愿意做一个给他们帮忙的白痴，跟你一样。（回过头看的时候，这里似乎已经预示了结局。AI将日益强大，最终将人类带向远方。） 我是一个邪恶又记仇的混蛋。（评价的非常到位，这里面每个人对自己的吐槽都很精准且贴切的。虽然他们是个滚蛋，但是他们也挺可爱的。） 轰炸广岛这个手段就很精妙。 我觉得没人会同意你的观点。 不，我是说，成功不一定代表是好的，这违背了我们所坚持的一切。如果我们开始收集个人数据，是出于“更高的利益”，那不知不觉我们就成了该死的脸书。（这段和前面那段有所呼应，也更能体现男主内心的纠结和变化，让他最后的选择也更具有合理性。） 在凯撒的注视下，生死有命，敬我们，敬角斗场中人。（完全没有想到故事的走向，我以为他会同意，然后双方互利互惠实现双赢，结果并没有。这也为后面主角团买下互利埋下引子，让故事走向更加合理。） 要得到别人的信任很容易，只要看来心胸开阔，关心对方。方法是模仿对方的肢体语言，加上重复对方自己说的话。 你只是在重复对方的话而已？就只是重复对方的话？ 这叫社交工程。建立信任关系之后，社交工程师只要提供资讯，对方就会有所回馈，提供宠物和孩子的名字或生日等等，把这些讯息填入词汇产生器，几分钟后，就能破解成功。（哈哈哈哈哈，你是懂心理学的。） 这部剧的人物刻画非常饱满，连只出场几次的人事主管也让人印象深刻，一次是她解决吉尔弗约尔拖延的问题，一次是同事间互相评分的问题，能够感受到她的专业和她能胜任这份工作。 尼尔森·达头蒂最后成了斯坦福的校长，在他们当中成了社会意义上最成功的人。而在最初，他是他们中最没用的。虽然剧中感觉他一路在躺赢，但是他一点也不惹人讨厌，反而会觉得他蛮可爱的，有点无为而治的感觉。 我感觉整部剧，主角团遇到问题，解决问题；发现问题，解决问题；不是在解决问题就是在解决问题的路上，永不停歇。 最后的结局居然是这样的走向，完全想不到，有点伤感。明明做出了超级牛逼的东西，但是因为太牛逼了，为了人民和世界必须毁了它。他们不仅放弃十亿美元，还毁了他们辛辛苦苦工作六年的成果，只是为了坚守本心，我觉得超酷的。人工智能的通过数据收集 数据整理 数据分析不断自我深化学习，做出更正确 更理智 更无情的数据决策，但正确不一定是对的。 这部剧真的猜不到故事的走向，魔幻搞笑又合理。最后他找不到U盘那里，我以为还有下一季，结果我去搜发现这就是终季了。那我是否可以理解为，这个技术终将会被进行应用，他们所担忧的会变成现实，人类终将走向写好的历史，毁灭人类的终将是人类自己。

硅谷是我心中目前排名第二的美剧

（第一名火线the wire)

硅谷和火线，虽然风格完全不同，但都是对一个群体和一个社会的全景描绘，用众生相的形式，把每个角色塑造得光彩照人。

追了这么久的硅谷，刚开始当情景喜剧看，慢慢的发现——事情没那么简单

这个剧，能把互联网的那点事用巧妙的编剧和精彩的表演说得那么入木三分，是一部非常高级的喜剧。

在互联网时代，世界从来没有这样平过，任何新闻在互联网上都用不了一天就从南半球传到北半球，文化越来越趋同——中国网友竟然能全部get硅谷里的梗

因为我们的互联网行业一样经历着居民楼创业，浮夸风投，PPT创业，恶性竞争，并购。。。

硅谷里的互联网世界，不止在美国，在中国也一样发生着。所以他们的玩笑，我们感同身受。

硅谷后来几季的走向经常出乎我的意料，让我感叹编剧为什么这么能编，每一季我感觉 这真的编不下去了吧，要崩了吧，他又能给我绕回来。

我心服口服。

当我看到预告片里【本剧最后一集】提示的时候，我心想：

哈哈，终于还是编不下去了吧，再往下编技术再上一个等级就该让AI成精了

果然，技术成精了

a monster

他们亲手毁了它，我也跟着难过。

但又觉得很高兴，觉得故事本该如此。

这帮人骨子里都是非常善良的人。

不管再怎么损，他们有真正的友情。

创业过程再怎么波澜壮阔，最后还是失败的多。

PP死了，u盘消失了，互联网时刻隐藏着巨大的隐患，谁也不知道技术带来的是好事还是坏事。

但善良的人知道

技术不能用来作恶，不能让技术作恶。

谁敢说这样的结局不深刻呢

硅谷是一出互联网伦理剧。

Jing Yang英语水平级别的小作文，自娱自乐，求轻拍... 文末有Jared写的信，摘自HBO官网

I can't be Richard, an incredible technological visionary which is wanted in every century. He developed a music app in high school. What was I doing in high school? Well, I was sucking at mathmatics. He invented the genius compression algorithm and beat tech giant Hooli when I was busy wondering whether I should quit the tech industry due to the incapacity of getting used to my duty as product manager.

I can't be Gilfoyle, the tech jenius who built a kick-ass server for Pied Piper, the one who saved everyone's ass by his brilliant brain. He's just not something I can become by working hard.

I probably could be like Dinesh . But I don't want to be.

It's hard for me to be Monica, an attractivive women who has great social skills, giving out this decent, charming and successful VC vibe all the time. She's not the kind of person I wanna be. She's too much like a textbook as a beautiful and intellectual woman in a high-class industry. Her smile is too standard, lacking a sense of vibrancy.

Of course I don't wanna be Laurie, a robot-like lady. I'd rather hang out with the real robot Fiona than with her.

So, the only one I can be and want to be is Jared, or Donald, his original name. With all the unbelievable difficulties he has encountered in his earlier life, he demonstrates an optimistic, spirited, selfless and caring characteristic that all be said through his gentle eyes and his warm actions.

Anyone who has been loved by Jared would understand what true love is. He will stand with you even if the rest of the gang decides to abandon you. And he respects your will if you want him to leave. He will be honest with himself and you when you achieve huge success untethically by telling you success doesn't justify your action. He is firm about his values, only based on that does he fall in love with someone. He is dedicated to his job, winning everyone with the perfect professionality at work. He's an idealistic just like me, and I love that he also writes letters to himeself! Isn't that the cutest thing to do?

As he says in his letter to his 40-year-old self, "Your life has been a checkered quilt, and some of its patches have been rougher than others. But whether a coarse swatch best forgotten or a velvet one to be cherished for all time, they have stitched together the man you’ve become. A man who sees adversity as opportunity, melancholy as but a brief minor key in life’s longer song." That is true. He's tougher than anyone I've known. His ability to love after all those shit happened to him is a gift from god.

Jared, as you say to yourself, you are a star shooting across the Great Plains, a manta ray swimming in the sundrenched, shallow waters of the Caribbean, a single hair that raises on the back of a child’s neck after he hears his first violin solo.

Your eyes are like the clear water of a lake warmed by sunshine in Spring. You remind me of my teddy bear, my best huggable friend in childhood. May you be free, be able to love and not be blinded by your affection, be needed and appreciated.

附1: Jared给自己的40岁的信

It’s incredible how much life can be compressed into just a few dozen hours, isn’t it? Since I last posted, I have resigned, been fired from, and successfully rejoined Pied Piper. And while this whirlwind meant I used up my “tears budget” a bit earlier than usual this month, it also reminded me of how lucky I am to work for Richard Hendricks, a true technological visionary. In that forward-looking spirit, I thought I’d share my letter to my 40-year-old self. I revise this missive to the future each time I begin a new professional venture, but with any luck, I will have this job — and this letter — until the day I die. Enjoy, dear readers, and take care!

Lordy, lordy, look who’s forty!

Who would have thought Donald Dunn would make it to forty-years-old? After swimming through the piranha-infested waters of the Amazon, running with the bulls in Pamplona, finding love in Paris — and losing it in Malta —you’ve seen big things, Donald

Your life has been a checkered quilt, and some of its patches have been rougher than others. But whether a coarse swatch best forgotten or a velvet one to be cherished for all time, they have stitched together the man you’ve become. A man who sees adversity as opportunity, melancholy as but a brief minor key in life’s longer song. Not to mention, you threw one hell of a fortieth birthday bash on that yacht. Good on you, Donald!

You can be hard on yourself, but it is the lofty bar you’ve set that makes you such an exemplary friend, spouse, and father. To think, you were worried about raising one little scamp, and now triplets! It seems the chemical traces in that shipping container all those years ago didn’t cause lasting medical damage, after all. Four is a nice round number for a brood, too, and you should be glad that you went with the maroon minivan. It was the right choice.

Donald, you’ve kept so many of the promises you made to yourself. To give all of your heart, mind, and physical well being to each and every company to which you’ve pledged your faith. To treat each friendship like a hummingbird: vibrant, yet delicate. And, of course, to always wear your retainer at night to protect against stress-related grinding. Your teeth are the sparkling Christmas lights for your face, Donald, and they must shine year-round!

You are a star shooting across the Great Plains, a manta ray swimming in the sundrenched, shallow waters of the Caribbean, a single hair that raises on the back of a child’s neck after he hears his first violin solo. Never forget that you are truly something, Donald. You are tougher than anyone I have ever met, but also a gentle soul that never ceases to give first, and ask questions later.

Looking back on your life, you wish you could tell your younger self to relax, and sure, have that second glass of sparkling cider. Your soul has always been older than your body, and one day they’ll have a name for that condition. In the meantime, savor your youth and this, your fortieth birthday (give or take, depending on which of those certificates was actually legitimate). Next up: nifty fifty!

You’re the best, Donald. Richard is proud of you.

Love always,

Jared

附2: Jared写的 A Piper’s Last Song

Dear readers, a COO never hopes to write a goodbye like this. I always thought Pied Piper would outlive me by centuries, lasting at least until Richard’s great-great granddaughter steps down as CEO when she, like King Edward VIII, finds true love. I have given over three dozen eulogies in my life and this one is the hardest yet. Watching our great company close its doors feels like how it must have felt to witness the papyrus scrolls in the Library of Alexandria slowly curl up among the flames. Richard’s vision was well on its way to changing the future of technology, but now all we have are charred remains and sweet memories.

I want to take a moment to address those who are sharpening their pitchforks and pulling out their joke books to try to kick Richard while he’s down. I’ve read what some of you jerks have said on the internet and you ought to wash your mouths out with lighter fluid. It’s been the greatest gift of my life to watch Richard grow from a boy into a man, and a noble one at that. Richard was our Churchill, our Charlemagne, our Odysseus, and he tied himself to the mast as we all went mad with the Sirens’ songs echoing around us.

I wonder if Richard remembers the night I knew our friendship would be eternal – it was truly one of the best nights of my life. Richard needed a place to stay, and he graciously offered to stay at my condo. I gave him my room, and then in the middle of the night, he kicked his sock foot out from under the covers. Luckily, I had I tiptoed into the room to refill the humidifier with the Brita, and I spotted his cold, lost little foot, and I tucked it back in. Because that’s all I could ever do– support our noble leader in the simplest, smallest way possible, knowing in my heart that it was making a difference. Now I must support him from afar as our company beaches itself on the shores of history.

I wish the Academy would get back to me about screening the Pied Piper In Memoriam slideshow I’ve made for this year’s awards show. All I want is a little closure in a public forum – surely they understand that. I’ll miss walking in the doors at Pied Piper every morning, turning on the lights, giving the bullpen a quick Swiffer, and emptying all the recycle bins so the custodial staff wouldn’t strain their backs. I’ll miss turning on my laptop and checking my emails, and adding the party parrot reaction to all the previous night’s Slack messages, and writing this blog for you, dear readers. But most of all, I’ll miss working every day with the best and smartest people in the world. Pied Piper Forever.

附3: Jared扮演者在采访中谈及第六季Jared的心理 （个人乱听译了一下）

The Arc between Jared and Richard is kind of a I can't quit you I can't quit you. I'm going to try and quit you a million different ways. I'm gonna literally quit the company. I'm going to assault you. I'm going to wear sunglasses and be aloof. I'm gonna find somebody else. and none of it works. he keeps trying to create distance ultimately to protect Richard and the company from his own overwhelming sort of disorienting affection for them and it doesn't work.

Jared和Richard的故事框架是那种“我无法放弃你，我尝试了所有方式想要放弃你，我试过辞掉工作，我试过攻击你，我试过戴上太阳镜对你冷脸相待，我试过去找别人，但我还是做不到”。Jared一直在试图保持距离来让Richard和公司不会因为他无法自控的感情而受影响，然而还是没有奏效。

and so I think that was sort of the over-arching idea. and then I always like I know it's a half-hour comedy so I don't want to start talking about it like it's King Lear or something. but this is the thing that really made me interested about Jared's arc in this season.

所以这是我觉得他俩关系的一个整体的方向。我也知道《硅谷》只是一个每集半小时的喜剧片，所以我也不想搞的和《李尔王》一样那么沉重和复杂，但这确实是让我对这一季Jared的叙事框架感兴趣的原因。

I think one of the difficult parts of loving another person is subjecting them to your own inadequacies and your own imperfections. and the ways in which you know you're limited and watching them have to deal with your mess and your broken parts and all that stuff. I think that's a very very very difficult thing to do and a lot of times when people talk about love stories it's like oh is that a deal breaker, is that a deal breaker in the other person? but I think equally difficult is just being like, this is the best I got, it's me. here I am. is it enough? I don't know. probably not. I found it sort of moving in a bizarro world way that Jared is having to learn how to subject the people he loves, namely Richard to his own imperfections and to accept that in order to love somebody you have to be willing to be inperfect next to them and in response to them.

因为我觉得爱一个人最难的一点是让对方受制于你自己的欠缺和不完美，你知道你是有不足的，然后你还要看着你爱的人去面对你的一团糟，你破碎的一部分……我觉得这是一个非常非常非常难的事情。大部分时候，当人们谈论爱情故事，大家关心的是两方各自有什么“劝退”的特点，然而我认为同样重要的是，在爱情中给出自己能给的最好的一切，“这就是我，我把自己交给你了，这样够不够，好像还不够...” 一个与常规不一样的感人的地方是，Jared必须要学会如何让他爱的Richard受制于他的不足，然后也得学会去接受这一点：为了爱一个人，你愿意不完美地待在他身边和回应他。

（主持人问：为什么Jared会那么爱Richard？）

I think and I just get so insufferable when we're talking about Jared cause I would get so earnest talking about him.

我觉得一提到Jared我可能会变得招人烦了哈哈哈哈，因为我实在是太热忱于谈论他了。

I think with Jared, he was in this sort of grey world working at Hooli as Gavin Belson's henchmen. and then he saw Richard Hendricks come in with this idea that he was really passionate about and not take the big money. and I think for him, that was like, oh, it can be like this? It's like a whole new world became available. you know And I think he imprinted it on him like a duckling on a mother duck. It was just like, this is my guy. and he represents beyond just the charms of the individual. He represents a whole type of sort of idealistic, conviction, and passion and determination and so I think he loves him for all those reasons

我认为，Jared像Gavin Belson的仆从一样在Hooli工作，这是一个灰暗的世界。然后，他看见了Richard带着这个想法闯了进来，而且他是那么有激情，拒绝了一笔巨款。对于Jared而言，他意识到，原来还可以这样活着？这是一个全新的世界的可能性。我觉得他就像一个小鸭子找到妈妈一样信任了Richard，就好像“这是我的人”。而且Richard代表的不仅仅是他作为个体的魅力，他还代表了一种理想主义、信念、激情和决心。所以我认为，Jared爱Richard是出于所有这些原因。

这不是什么剧评，只是我看完了还是想写点什么。

经历了第四五两季越来越缺少创意的情况下，在最终季里所有编剧再次满血复活，在最后的结尾打造了令所有观众叹为观止的升华。魔笛团队在充满欺骗的硅谷中用事了拂衣去的侠客风范为整个故事画上了完美的句号。

这个始于孵化器的故事成功地同时展现了程序员琐碎的日常细节和硅谷大环境里科技巨头间的相互争斗。当然同时也近乎指明道姓地批评了脸书谷歌优步这些硅谷王者级企业。六年时间，《硅谷》给所有观众全方位展示了科技的变化-不再是to make world a better place,而是再那些被‘黑化’的coder的带领下向利益更大化的道路上越走越远。

在整个六季中，pp始终还是pp，Richard，Gilf，Dinesh等等所有人的特点也从来没有改变，或许也早已暗示了这个结局，但是能将其拍出一种有着侠客风范的悲壮感绝对是一个让人意想不到的最恰当的处理方式。

一点私人回忆，对初创公司来说最开心的时刻莫过于此了吧

第一季的最后一集我总共看了四遍。四个老宅男想出来的高效打飞机原理直接封神

还是那句经典的罗曼罗兰—‘世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后依然热爱生活’pp团队最后又玩起了always blue的时候再次诠释了它（只是如果有erlich的惊喜回归就更好了，我个人还是非常喜欢这个角色的设定—嘴皮子厉害，但是关键时刻永远靠得住），而斯坦福学生对于pp团队的不屑一顾也算是一个点睛之笔。

在可以遇见的未来里，硅谷都会是我最爱的剧集，没有之一。

一间茅舍，万行代码，投老村家。 山中何事？松花酿酒，春水煎茶。

啊，最终季了！超级舍不得！

爱他们每一个人，

暖心温柔无条件包容男主的Jared

骚浪贱的Dinesh

腹黑悲观但其实超正的Gilfoyle

还有jingyang、这季不再出现的房主

一直相伴左右的小姐姐，甚至是hooli的老板

都如此可爱

以及，可以算是网络世界里的超人男主Richard

互联网大规模使用不过才20年的时间

人类的交流沟通、技术发展、甚至是结构体制

都因为这张网发生了翻天覆地的变化

就像男主在本季开篇所说：谷歌、脸书，已经是这个世界的王，统治的领土远超历史上所有的君王

每一个个体，还有所谓的自由吗？男主心目中的去中心化，真的可能吗？

Gilfoyle说得没错，人类逊爆了！

屠龙的勇士最终放下了屠刀，避免宿命般的成为下一头恶龙。在我看来这就是piedpiper最好的结局。

现实世界中，所有那些曾经梦想改变世界，让世界变得更美好的公司，所谓的“成功”也不过是把自己变成了曾经憎恶的样子。

这个结局太过于美好，以至于只能在电视剧里看到。或许现实世界中也存在过，只不过他们的“失败”让我们感知不到他们，他们才是让这个世界变得更加美好的人。

《硅谷》并非硅谷。

虽然比尔·盖茨曾在博客里盛赞：“这部电视剧带有讽刺成分，所以会夸大其词，但跟所有伟大的讽刺作品一样，它抓住了很多实质性的东西......电视剧里面那些不同个性的人多数都让我感觉很熟悉。”

《硅谷》讲述了四位程序员的创业故事，里面确实有着不胜枚举的精彩细节：Hooli 老板每天上班第一件事就是用搜索引擎里输入自己的名字；Jian Yang在中国办公室里的刘看山公仔；理查德和女程序员关于tab键和space键之争。

但在苛刻的剧评人看来，导演迈克·乔吉避重就轻，沉醉于描述程序员的小世界，从而博得了那些技术出身的互联网大佬的共情，但终究复制的只是无足轻重、稀松琐碎的细节，而对于真正重大的问题视而不见、避而不谈。

2018年科技巨头的一系列丑闻，在第五季几乎全部缺席：特朗普对硅谷科技巨头的批评；8700万脸谱用户数据泄漏；谷歌与美国军方的合作；Uber自动驾驶汽车撞死路人。

在第五季，这些科技与社会的广泛摩擦都被忽略，取而代之的是创业团队内部的勾心斗角、庸俗的办公室政治。但到了第六季，也就是《硅谷》的最终季时，剧情陡然深刻。

“脸书拥有80%的移动社交流量，谷歌拥有92%的搜索流量，亚马逊的云服务份额比第二到第五名的总和还要多。没有人能够赢得了它们。它们跟踪我们的每一步，监控我们生活的每一刻，还利用我们的数据获利。”

一开场，剧中魔笛手创始人理查德在美国国会接受询问，痛陈科技巨头的种种不堪：

“这些公司就是国王，他们统领的疆域比任何一个王国都大得多。我们取胜的唯一方式是建立一个民主的、去中心化的互联网。在那样的互联网中，用户是自己数据的主人，我们今天的遭遇不会重演。”

末了，这个腼腆的程序员林肯附身，振臂高呼要建立一个民有、有享、民治的互联网（the internet of the people, by the people, for the people）。这也是理查德六季以来最为雄辩的一次。

相形之下，扎克伯格今年4月在国会长达8小时的听证会上则基本处于防御状态。在那次会议上，小扎承认，脸谱网在防止这些工具被滥用和产生伤害等方面仍做得不够，没有全面地评责任，犯了严重的错误。

媒体的科技造神运动嘎然而止，美国新闻扒粪运动的中心也转向硅谷。

美联社在2018年的调查发现，在用户已经在隐私设置中关掉了位置记录选项的情况下，谷歌的多个应用依然会追踪并储存 Android 和 iOS 用户的位置信息。此前，科技媒体Quartz 就曝光过，安卓系统通过手机附近的基站搜集用户信息，再偷偷传给谷歌。而谷歌对此并不否认。

英国《观察家》报暴露了在伦敦和纽约设有办事处的数据分析公司剑桥分析的行径。该公司能够未经授权访问5000万份Facebook个人资料，通过有针对性地影响选民协助了唐纳德·特朗普赢得2016年美国总统大选。

《纽约时报》则指出了脸谱网在建立公众形象方面所面临的两难：“一方面，他们声称他们可以有很大的影响力，另一方面，他们想说“不，不，我们没有任何影响。”

不止科技巨头，初创公司的声誉也大不如前。2014年，伊丽莎白·霍姆斯所创立的企业希拉洛斯由于其革命性的血液检测技术——在一滴血上进行两百多项专业检测——在短短十年间成长为硅谷最具商业价值的独角兽公司。然而，这一切都是谎言。

作为一部在HBO播出的剧集，《硅谷》的情景喜剧底色，注定了其现实批判的天花板不会太高。

但在第六季里，导演借理查德之口，如此措辞强烈、直接点名带姓地批判大公司搜集用户数据谋利，公开把科技巨头定性为有史以来疆域最宽广的王国，呼吁建立新一代互联网的论调，反应了互联网在美国的迅速黑化。

这与六年前恍如隔世。2014年，《硅谷》开播第一季时，科技巨头都还是一副踌躇满志、忙着连接顺带颠覆全世界的进取青年形象：

苹果刚刚发布iPhone 6，库克打破乔布斯时代惯例第一次发布了5.5英寸的大屏幕手机，以迎合用户对于手机的不离不弃；Uber信誓旦旦地宣称他们可以用低成本、便捷的交通取代出租车和私家车；谷歌试图用漂浮在平流层的氦气球为偏远地区送去互联网，当然连接的主要是谷歌的服务；脸谱网唯恐落后，从NASA 挖角，忙着研究用无人机送网下乡。

不过六年时间，那个宣称要让世界更美好的互联网，已经成了被颠覆、被革命、被改造的对象。

在传统语境中。华尔街和硅谷最大的差异在于，华尔街只在乎钱，而硅谷志在改变世界。而现在，硅谷所犯的错误，可能和华尔街金融巨鳄一样——贪婪、唯利是图。

这也是当下科技圈面临的问题：在坚持不作恶的同时，能否也能获得商业成功。如果不收集用户数据，谷歌可能无法如此精准地向用户投放广告？亚马逊如果不向消费推荐那么多可买可不买的商品，它的营收会下滑吗？YouTube如果暂停自动播放功能，用户一天还会呆多久？这些真实的压力，可能促使科技公司在伦理和商业层面面临着两难的选择。

在《硅谷》第六季里，理查德可能会建成一个真正的公平的、去中心化的互联网，实现他的梦想。但在真实世界里可能需要更多的时间，让人们意识到这么做是对的。
