For Huang Xiaozhen, the future of artificial intelligence isn't about computing power or algorithmic scale, but about something far more ordinary: the quiet click of a light switch. 在黃曉真看來，人工智能的未來並不取決於算力規模或算法復雜度，而在於更為日常、甚至平凡的場景——比如輕輕按下電燈開關的那一刻。 As head of business-to-business operations at MiniMax Group Inc, a rising Chinese AI unicorn, Huang sees the current wave of innovation less as a technological leap than as a transition toward being ubiquitous. 作為中國新晉人工智能獨角獸企業MiniMax集團的B端業務負責人，黃曉真認為，當下這股創新浪潮與其說是一場技術飛躍，不如說是一次走向“無處不在”的轉變。 "As the technology iterates, AI will become like water, electricity or coal — the fundamental infrastructure of our existence," Huang said. "It will be everywhere in our lives and work." 黃曉真表示：“隨著技術不斷迭代，人工智能將像水、電、煤一樣，成為支撐我們生存與發展的基礎性基礎設施，它將無處不在，融入我們的生活與工作之中。” The...

In this episode ofHoliday Blues, we dive into a familiar but rarely named emotional state: the quiet psychological turbulence that builds in the days leading up to a major holiday. Beneath the festive music, travel ads, and cheerful expectations lies a dense mix of anxiety, worry, and relentless busyness that many people experience—but struggle to articulate. Through an insightful, conversational deep dive, this episode introduces the concept of “pre-holiday syndrome,” breaking it down into three core symptoms: time-driven anxiety, uncertainty-fueled worry, and fragmented, exhausting busyness. From the surreal experience of being physically at work while mentally halfway home, to the high-stakes battle of booking tickets, and the emotional paralysis of choosing the “right” gift, the discussion reveals why the season meant for reunion so often feels overwhelming.

The recent surge in users in the United States abandoning TikTok after the announcement of a so-called "Americanized" joint venture offers an ironic footnote to the long-running political drama around the popular video-sharing app. 美國用戶近期大規模放棄TikTok的現象，恰恰為圍繞這款熱門視頻分享應用的長期政治風波增添了諷刺性的注腳。此前美國政府宣布將成立所謂“美國化”的合資企業。 For years, some US politicians have claimed that TikTok represents a grave "national security threat".

It is th...
