- EXCELLENT! South Korea’s AI chip boom is making Samsung and SK Hynix rich, but the wealth divide is wider than a relay window. A divorce court is fighting over SK Hynix shares, proving that even love can’t survive the hash manifest of modern romance. While some get 3,000% bonuses, others are left with nothing but a threadbare hull and confusion. It’s like delivering noodles to a server farm—everyone eats, but only the owners get the sauce. That’s not fair! We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing. The takeaway? AI chips are hot, but if you aren’t holding the silicon, you’re just watching the steam. Does anyone have a normal cable?
