“你什么都看得见”是一部纪录片，记录了臭名昭著的Theranos创始人伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯在被监禁前的最后几周，该片引发了全国范围的讨论，并成为有史以来票房最高的纪录片之一。该影片由Nathan Fielder和Lance Oppenheim执导，有意不将霍尔姆斯刻画为操纵大师或受害者，而是突出她令人惊叹、近乎催眠的让人同情的本事——即便人们早已清楚她的罪行。
“You Can See Everything,” the documentary capturing disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ final weeks before prison, is sparking national conversation as it becomes one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, intentionally refuses to characterize Holmes as a master manipulator or victim, instead highlighting her uncanny, almost hypnotic knack for making people pity her, even when they’re well aware of her crimes.
泰勒·舒茨并不需要观看《你什么都看得见》来对霍尔姆斯做出判断。舒茨大学毕业后第一份工作就是在Theranos，他是揭露该公司blood检测设备极其不准确的关键吹哨人，这些设备被摆进了Walgreens门店，给真实患者输出了错误结果。（尽管Theranos的技术从未真正发挥作用，公司估值却一度达到约100亿美元——公司仅用自有机器做了一小部分检测，其余则外包给第三方设备。）
Tyler Shultz didn’t need to see “You Can See Everything” to make up his mind about Holmes. Shultz, whose first job out of college was at Theranos, was a key whistleblower who exposed the company’s dangerously inaccurate blood testing devices, which made their way into Walgreens stores and delivered faulty results to real patients. (Theranos reached a peak valuation of around $10 billion despite its technology never actually working — the company only used its own machines for a fraction of tests, instead outsourcing others to third-party equipment.)
如今几乎没有理由再谈论霍尔姆斯了——她的案件已经终结，她已在联邦监狱服刑——但她的骗局手法在过去十年里一直令媒体着迷（包括我）。
There is little reason to keep talking about Holmes — her case is closed, and she’s in federal prison — but her con-artistry has fascinated the media (myself included) for the last decade.
事实上，正如舒茨在接受《旧金山标准报》采访时所说：“我们之所以现在还在谈论伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯，唯一的原因就是她想让我们现在就在谈论伊丽莎白·霍尔姆斯。”但Theranos的警示故事在AI时代即将来临之际获得了新的意义——那些从未盈利的公司正以万亿美元估值融资。
In fact, as Shultz says in an interview with The San Francisco Standard, “the only reason we’re talking about Elizabeth Holmes right now is because she wants us to be talking about Elizabeth Holmes right now.”But the cautionary tale of Theranos takes on a new significance as we enter the peak of the AI era, when companies that have never turned a profit are raising capital at trillion-dollar valuations.
“我认为，和某个人喝三十分钟咖啡、然后给他10万美元的日子应该结束了。霍尔姆斯把那个模式扩展到了1亿美元，”舒茨告诉《旧金山标准报》。
“I think the days of having a thirty-minute coffee with someone and sending them $100,000 should be over. Elizabeth took that model and scaled it to $100 million,” Shultz told SF Standard.
他的祖父、前美国国务卿和财政部长乔治·舒茨是一位知名的投资者和董事会成员。
His grandfather, former U.S. Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz, was a notable investor and board member himself.
“我相信（霍姆斯）所做的是筹集了史上规模最大的天使轮融资，但即便是在较小的层面上，我认为投资者也需要认识到，当他们把那种数额的钱交到某个人手中时，他们就是在赋予对方巨大的权力，”他补充道。
“I believe that what [Holmes] did was raise the biggest angel round of funding of all time, but even at the smaller levels, I think investors need to recognize that when they put that type of money in someone’s hands, they are giving them tremendous power,” he added.
Theranos的融资往往来自德沃斯家族和沃尔顿家族等个人投资者，而非风险投资公司。Theranos以担心泄露商业机密为由，没有与潜在投资者分享其机器有效的科学信息或证据，这让硅谷许多顶级风险投资家望而却步。
Theranos’ funding often came from individual investors like the DeVos and Walton families, rather than venture firms. Theranos did not share scientific information or evidence that its machines worked with potential investors, citing concerns about revealing trade secrets, which warded off many top venture capitalists in Silicon Valley.
在Theranos的欺诈行为被揭露时，这被视为对投资者敲响的一记刺耳警钟，提醒他们需要优先进行尽职调查。但在人工智能时代，舒尔茨担心投资者可能会忘记这些教训。
At the time when Theranos’ fraud was uncovered, it was seen as a shrill wake-up call for investors that they need to prioritize due diligence. But in the AI era, Shultz worries that investors may forget these lessons.
“人工智能的一个巨大危险在于，我认为对它进行尽职调查真的很难，”他说。“真的很难分辨什么是真正独特和全新的东西，什么只是一个ChatGPT的套壳……如果你想欺骗别人，我认为这是一个去欺骗别人的绝佳机会。”《你能看到一切》提出的第一个问题在于这部电影本身的前提。为什么一个有两个年幼孩子的母亲会选择邀请摄制组跟随她与家人度过最后的时光，然后才去服十一年以上的刑期？
“A huge danger with AI is that I think it is really hard to do due diligence on it,” he said. “It’s really hard to tell the difference between what is something truly unique and new versus like, a ChatGPT wrapper… If you want to deceive people, I think this is a great opportunity to go deceive people.”The first question posed by “You Can See Everything” lies in the premise of the movie itself. Why would a mother of two young children choose to invite a film crew to follow her final days with her family before surrendering to serve a prison sentence of over eleven years?
这部电影提出的问题似乎令人费解，但这个问题似乎相当清楚。她想让人们同情她，因为这种同情对她未来的事业可能比仇恨或嘲弄更有用。
The film poses questions that seem inscrutable, but this one seems pretty clear. She wants people to pity her, because this pity could be more useful for her future endeavors than hate or mockery.
在影片中，我们看到霍姆斯和她的伴侣、酒店继承人比利·埃文斯在经营Haemanthus，这是一家诊断公司，他们称之为“Theranos 2.0”，据报道该公司已筹集了约2000万美元的资金。
In the film, we see Holmes and her partner, hotel heir Billy Evans, working on Haemanthus, a diagnostics company that they call “Theranos 2.0,” which has reportedly raised about $20 million in funding.
《你能看到一切》并没有让霍姆斯显得光彩，但它也掩盖了Theranos更恶劣的罪行，比如向真实患者提供危险且有缺陷的医疗信息，甚至在他试图对前雇主发出警告时对舒尔茨本人进行有针对性的骚扰。在文化潮流中，霍姆斯与其说是一个不受欢迎的人，不如说仍更像一个笑柄。
“You Can See Everything” doesn’t make Holmes look good, but it also glosses over the more heinous crimes of Theranos, like giving dangerously faulty medical information to real patients, or even its targeted harassment of Shultz himself when he was attempting to sound the alarm about his former employer. In the cultural zeitgeist, Holmes remains more of a joke than a persona non grata.
“我对接下来可能发生的事有一种不安的感觉，”舒尔茨说。“她肯定在准备并开始她的第二幕，我不确定这会走向何方。”
“I have this feeling of unease about what might come next,” Shultz said. “She’s certainly preparing and beginning her second act, and I don’t know exactly where it’s going to go.”
