Now, let's jump right in, shall we?

现在进入今天的深度报道。

It's time for today's deep dive.

咱们马上开始。

Let's get right into it.

这可不是什么新出的奈飞悬疑剧。

This isn't a pitch for a new Netflix thriller.

这事真真切切发生在亚利桑那州一个叫利奇菲尔德公园的安静郊区。

This really happened in a quiet Arizona suburb called Litchfield Park.

克里斯蒂娜·查普曼50岁，表面过着再普通不过的郊区生活，但关起门来，她却在秘密运营一个网络作战中心，帮朝鲜渗透了数百家美国公司。

Christina Chapman was 50 years old, living what looked like an ordinary suburban life, but behind closed doors, she was running a secret cyber ops center, helping North Korea infiltrate hundreds of American companies.

事情是这么发生的。

Here's how it worked.

朝鲜的IT员工没法合法地去美国求职。

North Korean IT workers can't legally apply for jobs in The U.

美国。

S.

制裁就是用来堵死这条路的。

Sanctions make sure of that.

所以他们盗用了真实美国人的身份信息，包括姓名、社保号码和出生日期，伪装成远程办公的员工。

So they stole real Americans' identities names, social security numbers, birth dates and used them to pose as remote employees.

那些合作的美国公司本来以为，自己雇的是一个...

Companies thought they were hiring U.

美国本土的团队。

S.

员工。

Workers.

但实际上，他们正在招募来自半个地球之外的特工，给他们做入职部署。

Instead, they were onboarding operatives from halfway across the world.

当这些公司把笔记本电脑和手机寄出去的时候，它们并没有落到新员工的手里。

When those companies shipped out laptops and phones, they didn't end up in the hands of new hires.

而是送到了克里斯蒂娜家门口。

They landed on Christina's doorstep.

在三年时间里，她收到了来自美国各大公司的上百台设备。

Over three years, she received more than a 100 devices from major U.

美国

S.

银行、科技公司，甚至包括一家政府承包商。

Banks, tech firms and even a government contractor.

查普曼的工作就是让这一切看起来像是朝鲜人在国内办公。

Chapman's job was to make it look like the North Koreans were working from inside the country.

她搭建了虚拟专用网络、远程桌面工具，甚至还用了变声软件。

She set up VPNs, remote desktop tools, and even voice changing software.

她把几十台设备运到海外，通常是中国靠近朝鲜边境的城市。

She shipped dozens of devices overseas, often to cities in China near the North Korean border.

这些假员工每天登录系统，写代码、回邮件、参加视频会议，实际上是在把美国的科技和资金输送给金正恩政权。

These fake employees logged in every day, writing code, answering emails, joining video calls, all while funneling U.

美国。

S.

美国。

Technology and money strained into Kim Jong Un's regime.

当人力资源部门要求视频验证身份时，查普曼亲自出马，有时还乔装打扮，假装成简历上的那个员工。

When HR demanded video verification, Chapman stepped in herself, sometimes in costume, pretending to be the worker on the resume.

她甚至指导特工如何应对面试，还通过美国银行帮他们洗钱领薪水。

She even coached operatives on interviews and laundered their paychecks through U.

美国。

S.

银行。

Banks.

她从中抽成多少？

Her cut?

至少八十万美金，这就是朝鲜方面总共捞走的金额？

At least $800,000 The total North Korean haul?

超过一千七百万美元，联邦调查局称这构成了严重的国家安全威胁。

More than $17,000,000 The FBI called it a serious national security threat.

钱查普曼却说，她只是在帮朋友而已。

Chapman called it helping her friends.

但这个游戏不可能一直持续下去。

But this game couldn't last forever.

调查人员发现了异常模式：多个远程员工都关联着同一个亚利桑那州的地址，登录记录还出现在员工声称从未去过的国家。

Investigators spotted patterns, multiple remote workers tied to the same Arizona address, and logins popping up from countries employees claimed they'd never visited.

克里斯蒂娜·查普曼被逮捕了，2025年9月，她被判处八年多的联邦监禁。

Christina Chapman was arrested, and in September 2025, she was sentenced to more than eight years in federal prison.

最让人想不到的是，整个行动竟然是她在客厅里一手操办的。

And the wildest part, she pulled off the entire operation from her living room.

我接触过的每个企业主，问的都是同一个问题。

Every business owner I talk to ask the same question.

我该怎么让AI真正为我所用？

How do I make AI work for me?

不是哪一天。

Not someday.

就是现在。

Today.

光看着可不行。

Sitting on the sidelines is not an option.

你的竞争对手可没闲着。

Your competitors aren't waiting.

好的。

Alright.

咱们去网上水 cooler 那边看看。

Let's head over to the web water cooler.

先看这个。

We'll start with this one.

你会为了流量拼命吗？

Would you die for clout?

MrBeast 真的为了五十万美元的一半，把一个人点着了。

MrBeast actually lit a guy on fire for half $1,000,000.

真的，我是认真的。

No, really.

那哥们儿被绑在一间着火的房间里，是那种死亡陷阱类的挑战。

Dude was tied to a chair in a burning room, part of a death trap stunt.

他保证说很安全，到处都有专业人员，但说到底还是为了赞助商拍的戏。

He swears it was safe, pros everywhere, but still it's like saw with sponsors.

现在，聊天DPT开始涉足育儿功能了。

Now, chat DPT's getting into parenting.

如果你启用，系统会检测青少年发出的自杀倾向信息，并在几小时内通知真人介入。

If you opt in, it'll flag suicidal prompts from teens and alert real humans within hours.

你甚至可以设置应用在睡觉时间后自动锁定。

You can even lock the app past bedtime.

更大的难题是，怎么让你的孩子承认他们用AI写作业。

The bigger challenge, convincing your kid to admit they're using AI to do their homework.

Tile追踪器？

Tile trackers?

是的。

Yeah.

你贴在钥匙上的那种追踪器，本质上是在无加密地广播你的位置。

The ones you clip to your keys are basically broadcasting your location, totally unencrypted.

任何黑客、警察，甚至别有用心的人都能轻易截获。

Hackers, cops, whoever can scoop it up.

更糟的是，坏人还能重放这些信号，陷害你跟踪别人。

And worse, bad actors can replay those signals to frame you for stalking.

想象一下，你的钥匙记录居然出现在法庭上。

Imagine your keys showing up in court.

微软要把Clippy以最终形态带回来了。

Microsoft's bringing back Clippy in its final form.

他们管这叫智能代理模式。

They call it agent mode.

你输入一个指令，它就能自动生成完整的Word文档、Excel表格，甚至PPT，同时还会边做边解释自己在干什么。

You type a prompt and it builds full word docs, spreadsheets, even slide decks while narrating what it's doing.

它甚至还能帮你做调研。

It'll even research for you.

somewhere，某个实习生要么高兴得流泪，要么失业了。

Somewhere, an intern is crying tears of joy or unemployment.

我给你说个骗局。

Here's a scam for you.

TikTok上有人教人伪造政府投诉，好从Zelle或Cash App骗钱。

TikTokers are telling people to file fake government complaints to score cash from Zelle or Cash App.

几百万人看了。

Millions watched.

有些人还花钱买了模板。

Some even paid for templates.

剧透一下。

Spoiler.

骗政府可不是什么副业。

Lie to the government is not a side hustle.

在新墨西哥州，一位女士真的把60美元现金交给了一个打扮成联邦存款保险公司的人。

In New Mexico, a woman literally handed $60 in cash to a scammer dressed like the FDIC.

他甚至关掉了她的手机，让她没法求救。

He even disabled her phone so she couldn't call for help.

为了说清楚一点，没有任何政府机构会登门找你要你的全部积蓄。

Just so we're clear, no agency is ever knocking on your door asking for your life savings.

亚马逊今天上了新闻。

Amazon's making news today.

谷歌明天也有动静。

Google's got something tomorrow.

他们能超越那个为钱点火的人吗？

Can they top man on fire for money?

不太可能。

Doubtful.

与此同时，很多父母太忙了，干脆把亲子时光像约牙医一样排进日程。

Meanwhile, parents are so busy half are scheduling quality time like a dentist appointment.

即便如此，手机还是打断了超过一半的对话。

And even then, phones interrupt more than half those conversations.

最好的办法是什么？

Best fix?

到外面去走走。

Step outside.

你的狗比谁都听得认真。

Your dog will listen better than anyone else.

最后再说一件事。

And let's wrap with this.

奔驰说，实体按键又回来了。

Mercedes says buttons are back.

再也不用靠屏幕点来点去调空调了。

No more tapping through screens just to cool down the car.

到2026年，真正的旋钮就要回归了。

In 2026, real knobs return.

结果你爷爷说得对。

Turns out your grandpa was right.

旋钮才是未来。

Knobs are the future.

好吧。

Okay.

来分享几个小技巧，帮你轻松一点？

How about some quick tech tips to make your life easier?

有些充电宝在自己充电的同时，还能给手机充电。

Some power banks can actually charge your phone while they recharge themselves.

这叫直充功能。

It's called pass through charging.

想知道你的能不能，看看说明书，或者直接搜一下型号。

To find out if yours can do it, check the manual or just Google the model.

只有一个插座的时候，这简直太救急了。

It's a lifesaver when you've only got one outlet.

如果你升级到 iPad OS 26，发现光标突然变成一个大圆圈，这里有个解决办法。

If you update it to iPad OS 26 and suddenly you've got a big circle instead of a pointer, here's the fix.

去设置，然后辅助功能，再点触控。

Head to settings, then accessibility, then touch.

把辅助触控关掉，箭头就立刻回来了。

Toggle off assistive touch and the arrow comes right back.

如果想自定义，可以进指针控制，调整大小和颜色。

If you want to customize it, go into pointer control to change the size and color.

你可以用搜索栏，查出特定时间段内的邮件。

You can pull up emails from a specific window of time using the search bar.

比如输入‘在2025/08/01之后，且在2025/10/01之前’，就能看到8月1日到9月30日的所有邮件。

For example, type in after two thousand twenty five slash zero eight slash zero one before two thousand twenty five slash ten slash zero one, and you'll see everything from August 1 through 09/30/2025.

还可以加上‘来自 kim@thecurrentnewsletter.com’或者‘有附件’，进一步筛选。

You can also add things like from kim at thecurrentnewsletter.com or has attachment to narrow it down even further.

再也不用担心 Windows 的睡眠问题了。

No more Windows naps.

如果你的电脑总在你不希望的时候休眠，打开设置，进入系统，然后找到电源选项。

If your PC keeps falling asleep when you don't want it to, open settings, then system, then power.

在屏幕、睡眠和休眠设置里，把每一项都改成‘从不’。

Under screen, sleep, and hibernation, set each option to never.

不过要注意，如果是笔记本，这样设置会让电池在没插电时快速耗尽。

Just remember, if you're on a laptop, this will drain your battery if it's not plugged in.

别急着扔掉你的机械键盘，先试试清理一下。

Before you toss your mechanical keyboard, try cleaning it.

用压缩空气把键盘缝隙里的灰尘吹出来。

Use an air duster to blow between the keys.

如果某个按键卡住了，就把键帽拆下来，看看下面有没有异物，再喷一次空气。

If one switch is really stuck, pull off the key cap, check underneath, and give it another blast of air.

每个月做一次这样的清洁，就能让键盘一直顺手好用。

Doing this once a month can keep things running smoothly.

你的Kindle能做的事情可不止看书。

Your Kindle can do more than just read.

长按一个词，或者选中一段文字，然后在弹出菜单里向右滑动，直到看到翻译选项。

Tap and hold on a word or highlight a whole passage and slide over in the pop up menu until you see translation.

选择你要的语种，比如日语译成英语，马上就能看到意思。

Pick your languages, say Japanese to English, and you'll get the meaning instantly.

是不是总得在各个App之间来回切换，才能找到你想看的电影在哪儿能看？

Tired of jumping between apps to figure out who's got the movie you want?

直接去 Just Watch 或 Real Good，输入片名，它会清楚告诉你哪里能看，包括免费的平台。

Just head to Just Watch or Real Good, type in the title and it'll show you exactly where it's streaming, including free options.

你有没有过这种感觉：好像自己一直在当24小时调解热线，不停地和稀泥，怕话说得太重，生怕别人一怒就走？

You know that feeling when it seems like you're running your nervous system like a 20 fourseven conflict resolution hotline, always smoothing things over, trying not to sound too harsh, making sure no one storms off in a huff?

AI其实能帮你分担一部分压力，尤其是最难的部分——怎么表达自己的想法。

AI can actually take some of that weight off by handling the hardest part: how to have your say.

现在很多人会用 ChatGPT 或者你喜欢的任何聊天机器人，当一个情绪翻译器。

Here's how people are using ChatGPT or whatever chatbot you like as a sort of emotional translator.

首先是化解冲突的说话模板。

First, de escalation scripts.

你直接问它就行。

You can literally ask it.

帮我写条消息，承认他们的不满，但别让我显得卑躬屈膝。

Write me a text that acknowledges their frustration but doesn't end with me groveling.

或者给我三个听起来不像是我认输的回复。

Or, give me three responses that don't sound like I'm rolling over.

关键是化解防御心态，而不是演一场道歉的戏码。

The point is to untangle defensiveness without performing apology theater.

第二，开启对话的开场白。

Second, conversation openers.

别用那种随便一问，结果拖成四十分钟情绪急救的问法，试试这样的提示：给我一个不会让我被迫解决问题的问候方式，或者来个轻松中立的开场白，别带太多压力。

Instead of a casual check-in that snowballs into a forty minute emotional triage session, try prompts like suggest a way to check-in that won't lead to me fixing their problems or give me a neutral opener that keeps the conversation light, not loaded.

第三，帮人感到被听见，又不至于被他们的话淹没。

And third, helping people feel heard without drowning in their words.

你可以把一大段牢骚贴进去，然后说：把这段话提炼成三个清晰的要点，让我好回应。

You can paste in a long rant and say, Rewrite this into three clear points I can respond to.

或者，给我示范一下怎么复述他们的话，又不做出做不到的承诺。

Or, Show me how to mirror what they're saying without making promises I can't keep.

这可不是在逃避责任。

Now, this isn't about dodging responsibility.

而是选择休息，而不是一味地去拯救。

It's about choosing rest over rescue.

把AI当成一个永远耐心的练习伙伴，帮你应对最棘手的对话。

Think of AI as an endlessly patient rehearsal partner for your toughest dynamics.

我来讲个故事。

And here's a story.

金曾经用聊天机器人帮她给儿子发消息。

Kim once used ChatGPT to help write a text to her son.

他是在她公司上班，她得温和地解释为什么准时上班真的很重要。

He works for her and she needed to explain gently why getting to work on time really matters.

消息发出去后，几分钟内，电话就响了。

The text went out and a few minutes later, the phone rang.

她儿子说：妈，我真没想到你居然用聊天工具发这条消息。

Her son said, mom, I can't believe you used chat for that text.

她对儿子说：有时候我语气太硬，所以我想确保别那样吓到你。

She told him, sometimes I come across too hard, so I wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

结果还真管用了。

And it worked.

好吧。

Okay.

今天就先说到这儿。

That about does it for today.

谢谢你抽出几分钟陪我。

Thank you for spending a few minutes with me.

希望你今天真有收获。

I really hope you learned something useful today.

在结束之前，我想请你帮忙，在你听这个播客的平台给个五星评价和评论。

Before I get out of here, I wanted to tell you to make sure to leave a five star rating and review wherever you're listening to this podcast.

另外，你一定要去听听我老板的广播节目和播客。

Also, you should definitely check out my boss's radio show and podcast.

节目叫《金指挥官秀》。

It's called the Kim Commando Show.

你知道吗？

And you know what?

给她发条消息或者留个评论，说说我讲得怎么样，你今天学到了什么。

Send her a message or a comment telling her how I did and what you learned today.

我们很快再见。

See you soon.
