China’s Nvidia Chip Repair Market, Intel’s 14A Chipmaking Warning, North Korea’s $17M Identity Theft Scheme, FDA Bans Artificial Food Dyes, Meta Ends EU Political Ads
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping technology and global affairs today. First, despite tight U.S. export bans, a black market in China is booming by repairing advanced Nvidia AI chips, fueling a sophisticated smuggling operation now targeting next-generation B200 GPUs. Next, Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan issues a stark warning that the company may abandon its advanced 14A chipmaking process if it fails to secure major customers, putting a $100 billion investment at risk. We then investigate how Christina Chapman’s “laptop farm” identity theft scheme enabled North Korean agents to infiltrate over 300 U.S. companies, funneling $17 million toward Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. Turning to food innovation, the FDA’s ban on artificial dyes like Red Dye No. 3 is pushing major brands like WK Kellogg to reformulate products and scientists to seek natural color alternatives from algae and crops. Finally, Meta announces it will stop all political and social issue advertising across the European Union in response to the EU’s new Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA) regulation, raising concerns over the impact on voter information and activism.
