Cross-chain trading protocol NEAR Intents stated in a post on X that on September 24, Bitget was attacked, resulting in approximately $387.5 million in funds being stolen, most of which were aggregated into Ethereum and converted to ETH. The hacker attempted to transfer over $50 million through NEAR Intents, but ultimately only $166,000 was successfully transferred, while $503,000 was intercepted during the execution process.NEAR Intents indicated that the relevant data comes from on-chain tracking tools, Arkham, internal logs, and risk control layer SHIELD, among other sources. The figures listed are rounded estimates, with an assessment deviation of no more than 10%. SHIELD identified over $50 million in money laundering attempts and has filtered out duplicate flows, of which $166,000 has been successfully transferred, while another $503,000 was frozen midway through execution and remains restricted, pending legal and recovery procedures.NEAR Intents stated: permissionless does not equal neutral, the team refuses to assist in cashing out stolen assets and will forgo the bounty from this incident to allow Bitget to recover funds as much as possible. Bitget previously established a 5% + 5% bounty arrangement. NEAR Intents also mentioned that the protocol will remain permissionless but set boundaries, and will combat money laundering of stolen funds, while suggesting Bitget contact legal and law enforcement channels to handle the frozen funds.

According to a report by Reuters on September 28, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier requested a judge on Monday to prohibit OpenAI from developing new artificial intelligence models without external oversight. This request is part of the state's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of harming children. Uthmeier also asked the court to order OpenAI to prohibit minors from using ChatGPT and to prevent the company from attributing human characteristics to the chat platform.Florida sued OpenAI in June, accusing it of misrepresenting the safety of ChatGPT, claiming that the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and made young users addicted. The lawsuit was triggered by a shooting incident at a university in Tallahassee last year, as well as several other incidents in other states where it was alleged that ChatGPT provided information to individuals who later committed acts of violence. Uthmeier, a Republican, is also the first state attorney general to sue OpenAI over its impact on young users, and the company is facing related lawsuits filed by individuals and families.OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri stated that the company has paused training its most powerful models and will not resume until additional safety measures are implemented, expressing a willingness to work with Florida and other states to promote pragmatic policies applicable across the industry. The company denies responsibility in these cases, stating that the chatbot provides information widely available online and continuously updates its safety tools. The request also cited recent comments from a former OpenAI employee and a current board member, stating that the development of artificial intelligence could lead to the end of humanity and must be slowed down.

According to the Economic Daily, citing sources from the semiconductor equipment industry, TSMC plans to expand its manufacturing presence in the United States. Following Arizona, it is set to initiate plans for a second park in the U.S., with a high likelihood of establishing six advanced wafer fabs in Dallas, Texas. Reports indicate that if the second park is launched, the total investment is expected to exceed the $265 billion in Arizona, linking Arizona's wafer manufacturing with Texas's advanced ecosystem. As of September 28, the reporter has not received a response from TSMC; supply chain operators stated that the owner has not yet notified preparations, and the board has not yet made a decision.The total investment in TSMC's wafer fab in Phoenix, Arizona, has now increased to $265 billion, with plans including six wafer fabs, two advanced packaging plants, and a research and development center. Reports suggest that TSMC's considerations for increasing its overseas presence include proximity to customers, diversification of geopolitical risks, and overcoming resource limitations such as land, water, and electricity in Taiwan. U.S. customers accounted for approximately 75.64% of TSMC's revenue in the first half of 2026.There are widespread rumors in the industry that TSMC is responding to demands from customers like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and Apple for local production in the U.S., while facing pressure from the U.S. government, which has threatened that chip manufacturers must relocate back to the U.S. or face tariffs of up to 200%. Dallas and North Texas are known as the "Silicon Prairie," with local factories established by Texas Instruments, Coherent, Samsung, and Tesla. Reports indicate that the Arizona facility still faces challenges such as water shortages, power shortages, and labor shortages, while Texas offers talent, lower tax burdens, and stable electricity, leading supply chain operators to believe that site evaluations are nearing completion.

According to a report by South Korea's "JoongAng Ilbo," a statement obtained from a former head of equipment investment at Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT), who has a background at Samsung Electronics, reveals that the former CEO of CXMT, Wang Ningguo, summoned the Korean team, including the individual in question, from October to December 2016. He demanded they bring back Samsung Electronics' Process Recipe Plan (PRP) and equipment information, threatening to report them to the South Korean government if they failed to do so, and warned them to verify their connections and not to lie. The individual stated that they felt scared at the time. The report mentioned that CXMT's management referred to Samsung Electronics as "Huangshan."After working at Samsung Electronics for 28 years, the individual joined CXMT and was prosecuted for allegedly leaking and using Samsung's 1.6 trillion won investment in the world’s first 18-nanometer DRAM process without authorization. In April of this year, they were sentenced to seven years in prison in the first trial and are currently in the second trial. The PRP includes the sequence of about 600 steps in DRAM manufacturing, equipment, condition values, and the companies and models of the equipment. Park, a former process design engineer at Samsung, hand-copied the relevant content into a 12-page notebook in September 2016 and brought it out, and is currently under an Interpol Red Notice.During the court hearing, the individual stated that there was a claim made during communications with the Chinese side that investment would not be provided to CXMT if they could not produce the 18-nanometer process. They later learned that the other party had wanted the technology from the very beginning, and CXMT initially had no plans to develop it independently. The pressure mentioned occurred before a meeting to prepare for the investment application. CXMT was established in 2016 with an investment of 14.4 billion yuan from Hefei Industrial Investment, a subsidiary of the Hefei municipal government, and had not been profitable for about 10 years, achieving its first annual profit last year with a net profit of 7.1 billion yuan.

According to the WeChat public account DuJia, Tencent is secretly testing an AI game companion product called Goose Dimension, which focuses on digital human AI partners, providing capabilities such as voice conversation, real-time image recognition, and game companionship. The product features multiple virtual characters with different personalities, including female characters Gu Yu, Shen Lu Bai, and Xia Xia, which are available for selection. After users choose a character, they can chat casually or activate the game companion mode, which DuJia claims is compatible with many mainstream online games.DuJia uses the character Xia Xia as an example to introduce the product interface. The main interface displays the digital human image and a self-introduction of the character, who is set to be talkative and not aloof, and claims to be a bronze-level expert. The left side has options for time, desktop pet, and skill entry; the time feature is used to freeze the screen and can be set as a desktop wallpaper, while the desktop pet allows the character to be displayed as a dynamic cartoon or static comic image on the desktop. The bottom provides text input, voice calls, and voice input, and the top left corner allows users to return to the character selection page. In game companion mode, users can have real-time conversations during gameplay, and the character will automatically respond with voice.DuJia states that all functions of Goose Dimension are temporarily free during the internal testing period and do not consume energy, but the interface has revealed a billing framework for exchanging energy with star coins. The rules listed in the pop-up for the official version show that text conversations, game companionship, voice calls, and image generation will consume energy based on rounds, per minute, or per image. Energy can be exchanged for star coins, with a minimum consumption of 10 star coins per transaction, and quick selection options are provided. Currently, during the internal testing phase, the star coin balance and energy values have no practical effect.
