硅谷101E189｜DEI的风暴眼：常春藤、硅谷与被改写的“美国梦”多元化、公平与包容（DEI）政策，一直触动着美国社会的敏感神经。从《平权法案》起，DEI在高等教育、企业招聘和少数群体福利中扮演着关键角色。
但到了2025年，这套体系正面临前所未有的挑战。随着特朗普政府的一系列改革，DEI被推上了舆论与法律的风暴中心。哈佛、哥伦比亚等精英高校左右为难，硅谷的企业与意见领袖也在价值观上出现了裂痕。而这些纷争的背后，是更深层的历史结构与意识形态冲突。
在本期节目中，我们邀请了两位社会科学背景的嘉宾，一起回顾DEI政策的演变路径，讨论它在当下美国政治环境中的现实困境——以及，它是否还有未来。

新新人类 Pixel PerfectEP009 中国工厂落地美国，比关税跑得快 Chinese Factories Hitting American Walls 【聊了什么 The What】
本期节目迎来了特邀嘉宾——在第一线深入报道多家中资工厂出海故事的记者 Viola Zhou。这次，她刚刚从密歇根小镇Big Rapids回来，探访争议漩涡中的国轩高科（Gotion）电池厂。这个偏僻保守的小镇如何被一座中国电池厂搅动？为什么反对声浪不绝于耳，厂长却受到州政府热情接待？工厂管理者、工人、政客和普通居民，又在这场全球制造的再分配中扮演着什么角色？除了Gotion之外，Viola还分享了她去采访台积电亚利桑那工厂，以及富士康印度工厂的所见所闻。
我们从特朗普最新的关税政策谈起，一路聊到中美制造业从双向奔赴走向理想幻灭的故事。美国的“再工业化”离不开中国制造业的反向输出，更是一场效率与价值观的拔河。我们也聊到了这背后美国对“中国效率”的矛盾心理：一边想要复制，一边又排斥它背后的代价。在“Made in America”与“Built by China”的夹缝之间，工厂成了一种文化意象——它既承载希望，也埋藏幻觉。
This episode features special guest Viola Zhou, a journalist who’s spent years reporting from the frontlines of Chinese factories going global. Fresh off a trip to Big Rapids, Michigan, she shares what she saw at the center of the Gotion battery plant controversy. How did a small conservative town become a geopolitical flashpoint? Why is factory exec Chuck Thelen eating a battery on camera? Who are the “No Gos” protesting the plant—and why are state officials embracing it? From managers to residents, we unpack the roles each plays in this global industrial drama. Viola also reflects on her visits to TSMC’s Arizona plants and Foxconn’s factories in India.
Our conversation begins with Trump’s latest tariffs and traces the fading myth of a U.S.–China manufacturing renaissance. America’s “reindustrialization” increasingly relies on Chinese factories setting up shop on U.S. soil—caught in a deeper tug-of-war between efficiency and values. Somewhere between “Made in America” and “Built by China,” the factory has become a cultural battleground, loaded with both promise and illusion.

谁不想有七个男朋友呢？
虽然现实里我们不会也不太想有七个真人伴侣（毕竟同时和七个人聊天，不翻车也会审美疲劳吧），但今天的人工智能已经催生了一系列应用，让我们能在赛博世界里不同性格的AI聊天甚至互动。从大语言模型的语音聊天功能到层出不穷的AI陪伴应用，我们都在深夜点开了哪个聊天机器人的对话框？AI究竟满足了哪些真人咨询师不能满足的需求？从小红书GPT越狱教程到拥有3D身体的「虚拟恋人」、到底是谁在和AI谈甜甜的恋爱啊？
在讨论AI如何提供情绪价值的同时，我们也探讨了AI陪伴产品存在的道德风险。明星初创公司character.ai在2024年就面临了多次诉讼，律师指控其聊天机器人在与未成年人的对话中的产生涉及自杀的内容。AI陪伴的边界究竟在哪里？我们在赛博空间中产生的真情实感，应该何去何从？
在节目的结尾，我们也邀请神秘嘉宾和大家打了招呼。也和我们一起分享你的AI陪伴故事吧！
Who wouldn’t want seven boyfriends? (Just kidding.) While most of us probably wouldn’t—and shouldn’t—have seven real-life partners (I mean, chatting with seven people at once sounds exhausting and like a recipe for disaster), today’s AI tools have given us a way to interact with multiple personalities in the digital world. From voice-enabled large language models to a growing number of AI companionship apps, many of us have found ourselves opening up a chatbot window late at night. What needs are these AI companions fulfilling that real-life therapists or partners might not? From jailbreak tutorials on Xiaohongshu to 3D-bodied “virtual lovers,” who exactly is falling head over heels for AI?
While exploring how AI provides emotional value, we also dive into the ethical risks of these companionship products. In 2024, buzzy startup Character.ai faced multiple lawsuits, with lawyers accusing its chatbots of generating suicidal content in conversations with minors. So, where do we draw the line for AI companionship? And what should we make of the genuine feelings we develop in these digital relationships?

【聊了什么 The What】
老司机有多喜欢开车，新手司机就有多头疼，然而在人工智能时代，这些考量好像都要翻篇了。这一期新新人类播客，我们聊了聊自动驾驶，从Waymo在旧金山停车场半夜鸣笛开会，到Cruise的高楼起了又塌，自动驾驶从科幻照进现实的路比过山车还要此起彼伏。
这一期主播安蕤请假，代班的嘉宾是曾在某自动驾驶企业工作过的托尼。托尼给我们分享了他的行业内部视角和丰富的无人驾驶出租车乘坐经验，最关键的是，他提出来一个至关重要的问题：
为什么人类司机可以毫无心理负担地别车“苕萝卜”，是人性的扭曲还是道德的沦丧？
Some people love driving; others find it a nightmare. But in the age of AI, that whole debate might soon be irrelevant. In this episode of Pixel Perfect, we dive into the world of autonomous driving. From Waymo’s cars honking at each other in a San Francisco parking lot at midnight to Cruise’s meteoric rise and equally dramatic crash, the journey of autonomous driving tech has been nothing short of a rollercoaster.
Our usual host, Anrui, is on leave this episode, so stepping in is guest host Tony, who has firsthand experience working at a self-driving company. Not only does he bring an insider’s perspective and a wealth of robotaxi ride stories, but he also asks the million-dollar question: Why do human drivers feel zero guilt when aggressively cutting off robotaxis on the road?

新新人类紧急召集！🎶各种颜色的皮肤，各种颜色的头发，嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话🎵 谁能料到，由于TikTok可能会被美国封禁，上百万的“洋抖难民”突然涌入小红书，一周之内完全改变了小红书的内容和用户生态。有的中国用户积极帮忙翻译，有的中国创作者利用这个机会吸了一波粉，但也有不少人在吐槽外国人的受欢迎程度或者小红书一夜变味的观感。
不少听众朋友们都希望我们来聊聊这个现象，因此我们紧急录制了第六期播客，想探讨为什么是小红书在这一刻承接住了泼天的流量，为什么这种突发的、充满了不确定性的中美交流让我们更加怀念互联网1.0时代，以及小红书这样的好日子还能过多久。我们请到了隔壁《大波福娃》播客的主播小苕串台，作为一个在小红书兼职营业的创作者，聊聊她亲身经历的这个“亿洋迁徙”时刻。
Who could have guessed? With the looming possibility of TikTok getting banned in the U.S., millions of “TikTok refugees” have suddenly flooded Xiaohongshu, completely transforming its content ecosystem in just a week. Some Chinese users are helping with translations, while local creators are seizing the opportunity to rake in new followers. Yet, plenty of others are grumbling about how popular the newcomers are—or lamenting how Xiaohongshu feels so “off” overnight.
Many of our listeners have asked us to unpack this phenomenon, so we rushed to record episode 06. We’re diving into why Xiaohongshu became the go-to platform for TikTok refugees, how such unpredictable events make us nostalgic for the Internet 1.0 era, and just how long Xiaohongshu can sustain its virality. We’ve invited Shao, host of the Dat Beauvoir podcast and a part-time creator on Xiaohongshu herself, to join us and share her firsthand experience of this epic TikTok exile to Xiaohongshu.

新新人类 Pixel PerfectEP005 Bluesky能带我们回到推特1.0吗？Can Bluesky replace Twitter 【聊了什么The What】
2024年底的美国大选之后，社交媒体平台迎来了一次“大迁徙”：数以百万计的用户离开了X（推特），寻找可能的替代产品。在这个过程中，一个叫做Bluesky（蓝天）的平台脱颖而出，一时间吸引了大量新用户和外界的关注。
Bluesky到底是一个什么样的平台，和推特有什么相似和不同之处？去中心化是否真能解决平台治理的困境？在社交媒体日益碎片化的今天，一个统一的公共对话空间还有可能存在吗？在本期节目中，我们深入分析了以Bluesky和Threads为首的新兴文字社交平台，讨论了各自的使用体验，以及那个所有人最关注的问题：推特能够被取代吗？
After the 2024 U.S. elections, social media witnessed a "mass migration" as millions of users left X (formerly Twitter) in search of alternative platforms. Amid this shift, a platform called Bluesky emerged, quickly drawing a surge of new users and external attention.
What exactly is Bluesky, and how does it compare to Twitter in terms of similarities and differences? Can decentralization genuinely solve the governance challenges of these platforms? In an era of increasingly fragmented social media, is a unified public discourse space still possible? In this episode, we delve into emerging text-based social platforms like Bluesky and Threads, discussing their user experiences and addressing the most pressing question on everyone's mind: Can Twitter be replaced?

美轮美换 The American Roulette番外 | 马斯克的主角光环破灭了吗？Is Elon Musk the antihero of Silicon Valley? 【聊了什么The What】
本集是友台《新新人类 Pixel Perfect》的节目，欢迎大家在各个平台收听并关注这档新播客
如果要在2024年这个节点提名硅谷现在最有影响力也最具争议性的人物，应该很少有人能和伊隆·马斯克竞争。无论是他创立的特斯拉、spacex等公司，还是他在收购社交媒体推特以后所做的一系列出格动作，和最近的保守转向，都让他稳稳坐在硅谷话题榜的首位。
这个毁誉参半的超级科技领袖是一个充满矛盾的人。爱他的人认为他是硅谷的救世主，一位真正不受当今世界思想定式和传统规训的天才。但恨他的人觉得他是一个冲动，自私，厌女和狂妄的小丑。但不管他到底是哪一个，不可否认的是马斯克已经超越了普通的商业人物和科技领袖，成为了一个职业公众人物，也是我们这个时代被大众津津乐道的神话和隐喻。
马斯克到底是一个什么样的人？我们应该怎样评价他？从他的传记，新闻作品和对掌控自己叙事的迷恋中，我们能看到今天硅谷的哪些不满？在本期节目中。新新人类的三位主播安蕤，马修和一闻与嘉宾Afra一起，试图在这些扑朔迷离的叙事中看到这位超级科技偶像的底色。
If we had to name the most influential and controversial figure in Silicon Valley in 2024, few would come close to Elon Musk. Whether it's through companies he founded, like Tesla and SpaceX, or the series of bold moves he made after acquiring the social media platform Twitter, followed by his recent conservative shift, Musk firmly holds the top spot on Silicon Valley’s list of talking points.
This larger-than-life tech leader is a bundle of contradictions. Supporters see him as the savior of Silicon Valley, a true genius who’s unafraid to break free from conventional thinking. But critics argue that he’s impulsive, selfish, misogynistic; an arrogant clown. Whichever side you’re on, there’s no denying Musk has gone beyond being just another business mogul — he’s become a public figure, a myth, and a kind of cultural metaphor for our times.
What kind of person is Musk, really? How should we assess him? What can we learn about Silicon Valley’s current discontents from his biographies, the media coverage, and his obsession with controlling his own narrative? In this episode, Anrui, Matthew, and Yiwen — along with guest Afra, attempt to peel back the layers of mystique around Musk, to uncover the essence of his character.

新新人类 Pixel PerfectEP003 我们躲在被子里偷看的网文，登上大雅之堂了吗？Have webnovels become high culture? 【聊了什么The What】
这一期节目里，两位从小看网文长大的主播马修和一闻终于有机会交流他们当年痴迷网文的故事。从男频到女频，唐家三少到水千丞，沧月到郭敬明，晋江到知乎，马修和一闻给严肃文学爱好者安蕤一点点科普网文的前世今生，最后安蕤才意识到她其实也看过不少网文，只不过是以纸质书的形式。
让我们没想到的是，当年专属于年轻人的 guilty pleasure 竟然一步步发展成了价值千亿的文化产业，原本的 txt 文件和文字中的人物变成了现在全球大火的电视剧和一线明星，我们的消费方式也从白嫖变成付费，单章购买变成付费订阅，结果又被互联网大厂带回免费阅读时代。到了今天，没有几个人能逃过网文的文化影响，网文不再是只配在被窝里看的小众爱好了，那它算不算完成了对严肃文学的复仇？
In this episode, Matthew and Yiwen finally got the chance to exchange their stories of webnovel obsession. We gave Anrui, a fan of serious literature, a crash course on the past and future of webnovels—genres, top authors, online platforms—only for Anrui to realize that she has, indeed, read webnovels too.
The development trajectory of webnovels has exceeded our wildest imagination. It grew from a guilty pleasure exclusive to young people to a cultural industry worth billions of dollars. What was once .txt files and the characters within them have now transformed into globally popular TV shows and A-list celebrities. Our consumption habits have also evolved from reading for free to paying, from single-chapter purchases to subscription models; now, big techs have brought us back to the era of free reading. Today, few can escape the cultural influence of webnovels. It’s no longer just a niche hobby—so has it, in a sense, taken its revenge on serious literature?

36:0...2024-12-011h 22新新人类 Pixel PerfectEP002 小红书是社交的尽头吗？What’s NOT on Xiaohongshu? 【聊了什么The What】
新新人类的三位主播都是小红书重度用户。在这期播客中，安蕤，一闻和马修坐下聊了聊这个不知不觉中已经与我们的生活不可分割的软件。从2013年成立至今，小红书已经不仅仅是一个社交媒体应用，更是一个具有搜索引擎性质的，庞大且多元的内容宇宙。我们几个从最初的怀疑到最终的沉迷，在到现在的“万事可问小红书”，小红书到底是怎么养我们的？
从产品角度来说，小红书是中国的 Instagram 吗？为什么双列信息流这么有效？这些功能如何促成社区感和信任感？为什么海外复刻小红书的尝试屡败屡战？从文化影响来说，小红书如何塑造了中国年轻人消费和分享信息的方式? 在小红书上，我们见证了娱乐圈“真人”的兴起、算法语言的流行和对于审美文化的过度追求——这究竟是好是坏？小红书让我们都完犊子了吗？
In this episode, we're diving into Xiaohongshu (RED), the app that has become deeply intertwined with our daily lives. It's more than just a social media app; it's a massive universe where people can find information, share experiences, and seek inspiration for all aspects of life—from discovering the best restaurants in Beijing to seeking advice dealing with DMV in LA.
Is Xiaohongshu China's Instagram? Why is the parallel feed layout so effective? How do these features foster a sense of community and trust? We also discussed its cultural impact: how has Xiaohongshu shaped the way urban Chinese youth share and consume information?

2024-12-0156 min新新人类 Pixel PerfectEP001 我们这个时代的科技新闻 Who are we and why are we making a podcast? 【聊了什么The What】
与网络一起长大的我们，终于忍不住要对播客下手了。我们（安蕤、马修和一闻）是三个生活在美国的新生代科技记者。毫不夸张地说，我们的成长经历是和互联网、科技以及社交媒体密不可分的。那么，从古早Windows游戏到人工智能应用，我们与技术的关系经历了什么样的变化？我们又是怎么成为科技记者的？当科技从边缘走向中心，谁能定义科技新闻的边界？在平台重塑媒体格局的今天，如何讲述一个更立体的科技故事？这期节目是我们的自我介绍，也是我们对这档播客的未来的畅想。如果这是你第一次发现我们：欢迎来到新新人类播客，我们是你的网上邻居。
We have a podcast! We—Anrui, Matthew, and Yiwen—are three Gen-Zish tech reporters who grew up in China and now live in the U.S. It’s no exaggeration to say that our formative years were deeply intertwined with the internet, technology, and social media. So, how has our relationship with technology evolved, from early Windows games to AI applications? How did we become tech reporters? As technology shifts from the fringes to the mainstream, who gets to define the boundaries of tech journalism? And in an era where platforms are reshaping the media landscape, how can we tell more multidimensional stories about technology?
This episode is our self-introduction and a glimpse into our vision for this podcast. If this is your first time discovering us: welcome to Pixel Perfect. We’re your neighbors on the internet.

美轮美换 The American Roulette027 | 忽左忽右的硅谷 Silicon Valley's Political Shift 【聊了什么】
近年来，硅谷这个传统的民主党堡垒正悄然发生变化。科技界的“右转”现象，以及马斯克和Marc Andreessen等大佬对特朗普的公开支持，似乎预示着一场政治地震。这是否反映了科技界对主流社会长期“敌意”的反弹？
在这期节目里，我们探讨了硅谷在即将到来的大选中的政治取向，AI革命下科技界政治光谱的变迁，以及源自科技圈的新兴政治话语及其在网络上的传播。

【 What We Talked About】
In recent years, Silicon Valley, traditionally a Democratic stronghold, has been undergoing subtle changes. The tech industry's "right turn" and public support for Trump from prominent figures like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen seem to herald a political earthquake. Does this reflect a backlash from the tech world against long-standing "hostility" from mainstream society?
In this episode, we explore Silicon Valley's political leanings in the upcoming election, the shifts in the tech industry's political spectrum amidst the AI revolution, and the emergence and spread of new political language originating from the tech sphere.
