第一則：輝達猛砸入股英特爾 全球晶片版圖恐劇變
晶片大廠輝達於9月18日宣布，將投資50億美元入股英特爾，取得約4%股份。消息一出，英特爾股價一度大漲29%。此舉被視為輝達對美國半導體企業的重要支持。
執行長黃仁勳強調，川普政府並未參與此案。而雙方合作將專注於資料中心AI平台與個人電腦晶片，並由英特爾設計客製化CPU。分析人士認為，若輝達逐步轉單英特爾，台積電恐面臨壓力，全球AI晶片版圖也將出現變化。
NVIDIA Invests Big in Intel, Global Chip Supply May Change
Chip giant NVIDIA announced on September 18 that it will invest 5 billion US dollars in Intel, taking about 4 percent of its shares. After the news came out, Intel’s stock price once rose 29 percent. The move is seen as an important support for the American semiconductor company.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stressed that the Trump administration did not take part in the deal. The two companies will focus on AI platforms for data centers and PC chips, with Intel making customized CPUs. Analysts believe that if NVIDIA gradually shifts orders to Intel, TSMC may face pressure, and the global AI chip supply map will also change.
第二則：1,450萬戶電價調漲！產業電價凍漲
台電於9月19日召開電價費率審議會，決定於10月調整電價。民生電價預計將上調2%至3%，影響約1,450萬戶住宅與小商家。產業電價則維持凍漲，但會檢討部分產業的減半優惠。
台電前3年累計虧損高達約4,100億元，且未獲千億補助，面臨財務壓力，因此需微幅調整民生電價。經濟部認為此舉合理，且不會大幅影響商品價格，但仍需關注後續變化。
Electricity Prices Rise for 14.5 Million Households, Industrial Rates Frozen
Taiwan Power Company held a rate review meeting on September 19 and decided to adjust electricity prices in October. Residential rates are expected to rise 2% to 3%, affecting about 14.5 million households and small businesses. Industrial rates will stay frozen,but half-price discounts for some industries will be reviewed.
Taiwan Power Company reported a total loss of 410 billion NT dollars in the past three years and did not receive a 100 billion NT subsidy, facing financial pressure. The Ministry of Economic Affairs said the increase is reasonable and will not greatly affect product prices, but ongoing changes still require attention.
第三則：6月以來首次！美中通話登場
美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平於台灣 9月19日晚上 9 點舉行通話，這是兩人自6月以來首次對話。
討論重點包括TikTok交易進展、波音飛機與稀土磁鐵議題，以及台灣問題。川普對通話寄予厚望，並透露TikTok協議已接近完成，同時考慮延長部分關稅緩徵期。
First time since June! U.S.-China phone call takes place
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a phone call on the evening of September 19 at 9 p.m. This marked their first conversation since June.
The main topics included the progress of the TikTok deal, problems related to Boeing aircraft, rare-earth magnets, and the Taiwan issue.

第四則：AI巨浪來襲！企業迎「逆分工」時代
台灣大哥大資訊長蔡祈岩指出，2020至2040年是AI的「巨浪時代」，企業若想在競爭中突圍，必須擺脫舊思維、迎接新管理觀念以及「逆分工」的全新時代。
他強調三大要點：AI降低學習門檻，專才需轉型為跨領域的通才；徹底革新業務模式並且避免僅用AI加速舊流程；聚焦價值創造，溝通時應強調AI能創造更大價值以帶來更多業績與分紅。擁抱AI者雖更忙碌，但也將成為組織不可或缺的核心人才。
AI Wave Arrives! Businesses Enter the “Reverse Specialization” Era
Rock Tsai, CIO of Taiwan Mobile, said that 2020 to 2040 is the “AI Wave Era.” He stressed that companies must drop old thinking and embrace new era of “reverse specialization.”
He highlighted three key points: First, AI lowers the learning barrier, so specialists must transform into cross-disciplinary generalists. Second, businesses should fully reform their models and avoid only using AI to speed up old processes. Third, focus on value creation, communicating that AI can generate greater value to drive increased revenue and dividends. Those embracing AI may become busier, but they will also emerge as indispensable core talents within their organizations.
第五則：還有第三種人格？研究揭「O 人」特質
近期臨床研究指出，除了外向的E人與內向的I人，還存在一種「O人」人格。他們在群體中常感疏離，難以獲得歸屬感，但卻能藉由獨立思考突破社會期待。
專家指出，O人最大的益處在於自我價值感不依賴群體認可，不會被社會期待所限制，也不必犧牲個人需求滿足他人。研究認為，這種獨立性不僅有助於幸福感，也為社會創新提供價值。
A Third Personality? Study Reveals the Traits of Otrovert
A recent clinical study found that, in addition to extroverts and introverts, there is a third type called otrovert. They often feel distant in groups and struggle with belonging, but they can break social expectations through independent thinking.
Experts say that the greatest benefit of otrovert is that self-worth does not depend on group approval. They are not limited by social expectations and do not need to sacrifice personal needs to please others. Studies suggest that this independence not only supports happiness but also brings value to social innovation.
