Today's Dark Lines
The helium ban, memory chip shortage, and Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI—three seemingly unrelated news stories all point to the same tension: the struggle for technological sovereignty has spread from software to every aspect of the hardware supply chain. As AI giants go to war over intellectual property, rare gases become instruments of sanctions, and chip manufacturers warn of "the worst shortage ever," this is no longer just business competition but the technological front of a new cold war. Meanwhile, the exuberance of SK Hynix in US stocks and Starlink's satellite expansion suggests that capital is betting: whoever controls computing power and connectivity controls the rules of the game for the next decade.
