AI-CHAT PRIME ECONOMY
Zzf43-1004	The AI Boom Is Exposing the Cost of Americas Lost Semiconductor Industry
	Quote:	Of course, rebuilding factories is only part of the challenge. "If you build it, they will come" is a nice line from a movie, but it is bad economics. Years of offshoring also eroded the specialized labor force needed to construct and operate them. TSMCs Arizona project encountered shortages of workers experienced in installing advanced fabrication equipment, prompting the company to bring in specialized personnel from Taiwan. (Those workers, by the way, are apparently horrified by the quality of the U.S. public schools that their children attend.)
	Comment:	Most of our AI equipment comes from Asia, Taiwan and China, with some American chips; but what supports the few American chips are the Asian chips, printed circuit boards and other hardware.

PRIME CRIME ECONOMY
Zzf43-1010	The Largest Heist in History: Hackers Steal 6 Billion in Crypto from Binance
	Quote:	On wallet security, Binance was blunt: "We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak." As for the money, the company wrote, "The estimated total impact sits at around 6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with 3 billion frozen on-chain so far." That leaves roughly half the estimated total still out there.... The breach lands in the middle of whats being called "Black October," a stretch marked by a wave of cyberattacks, data breaches and bugs surfaced by AI tools. It also echoes last years theft at the Bybit exchange, where North Korea-linked hackers stole about 1.5 billion in crypto. North Korea has built hacking and scamming into an industrial-scale operation, running crypto heists alongside a scheme that tricks Western companies into unknowingly hiring North Korean workers.... Two other tracing firms reached the same conclusion. TRM Labs attributed the theft to an elite North Korean hacking unit, saying the assessment was "based on robust on and off-chain intelligence" and noting that "several features of this attack match earlier North Korea-linked heists."
