第四則：美國職場掀「混合爬行」風潮 員工咖啡打卡反制
美國職場出現「混合式爬行」，雇主逐步收緊遠距上班政策，但員工用「咖啡打卡」反制。Owl Labs 調查顯示，近三分之一雇主在過去一年修改政策，44％員工承認曾打卡後就離開。
專家指出，嚴格的規定可能是變相裁員，但主管自己也常在家上班。若僅要求每週一天進辦公室，遵守率近乎100%，顯示彈性工作已深植現代職場。
US Workplace Faces “Hybrid Creep” Trend, Workers Fight Back with Coffee Check-In
The US workplace is seeing “Hybrid Creep,” as employers slowly tighten work from home rules, but workers fight back with “coffee check-in.” A survey by Owl Labs shows that nearly one-third of employers changed their policies in the past year, and 44% of workers admitted they checked in and then left.
Experts point out that strict rules may be a hidden form of layoffs, but managers themselves often work from home too. If companies only ask staff to go to the office once a week, the compliance rate is almost 100 percent, showing that flexible work has already become a deep part of modern workplaces.
第五則：AI醫師騙很大 網路養生影片有陷阱
各國社群平台近來充斥AI生成的「假醫師」影片，常以誇張標題吸引點擊，例如聲稱「睡姿影響壽命」或「連喝40天能治病」。專家警告，這些影片大多沒有醫學根據，甚至可能誤導病人錯誤用藥，危害健康。
許多影片目的只是賺取流量或推銷保健品。民眾若看到影片中出現知名醫師，也要保持懷疑，檢查AI標籤與畫面細節，並記得生病時應尋求專業就醫。
Fake AI Doctors Spread Online, Health Videos Hide Traps
Social media platforms around the world are now full of AI-generated “fake doctor” videos. They often use exaggerated titles to catch views, such as “sleeping posture affects life span” or “drinking for 40 days can cure disease.” Experts warn that most of these videos have no medical basis, and they may even mislead patients to take the wrong medicine, which is dangerous for health.
Many videos only aim to gain traffic or sell health products. If you see famous doctors in these videos, you should stay doubtful, check for AI labels and picture details, and remember to seek real medical help when you are sick.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taiwan-US trade talks are in the final stage, with focus on tariff cuts and semiconductor benefits, while Taiwan denied agreeing to a “50-50 chip split” and pointed to its farm product pledge to ease talks.

Taiwan will raise its minimum wage next year, and Premier Cho expects it to pass NT$30,000 the following year.
