第一則：台積電在美國布局擴大？傳將於德州再建 6 座晶圓廠
國科會於 9 月 29 日舉辦記者會，公布 2026 年上半年科學園區營業額達新台幣 3.54 兆元，創下歷年同期新高。此外，消息指出，台積電擬於美國啟動第 2 園區計畫，再建 6 座晶圓廠，德州達拉斯被外界點名為可能地點。
國科會主委吳誠文回應，德州具備半導體產業基礎，確實是考量選項之一。不過，最終仍須由台積電董事會拍板宣布，政府不會代為公布。他也強調，台積電研發根留台灣的政策永遠不會改變。
Is TSMC Expanding Further in the U.S.? Reports Say Six More Fabs Planned in Texas
Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council held a press conference on September 29 and announced that science park revenue reached NT$3.54 trillion in the first half of 2026, setting a new record for the same period. In addition, reports indicate that TSMC is planning a second campus in the United States, with six more fabs to be built. Dallas, Texas has been named as a likely location.
NSTC Minister Wu Cheng-wen responded that Texas has a solid foundation in the semiconductor industry and is indeed one of the options being considered. However, the final decision must be announced by TSMC’s board of directors, and the government will not make any announcements on TSMC’s behalf. He also stressed that TSMC’s core research and development will remain rooted in Taiwan, and that this policy will never change.
第二則：立法院表決監察院人事案 27 位被提名人全遭否決
立法院 9 月 29 日表決第 7 屆監察院人事同意權案，包含監察院長被提名人陳永興、副院長被提名人王榮璋在內，27 位被提名人全數未達同意門檻，依法不得出任監察委員。
對於表決結果，院長被提名人陳永興批評在野黨封殺了監察院的改革機會。在野黨則強調是基於理性審查與適任性考量。總統府發言人則表示，總統賴清德尊重審查結果，但擔心調查案件將因此停頓。
Legislature Votes on Control Yuan Personnel, All 27 Nominees Rejected
The Legislative Yuan held a confirmation vote on the 7th Control Yuan nominees on September 29. All 27 nominees, including Control Yuan President nominee Chen Yung-hsing and Vice President nominee Wang Jung-chang, failed to reach the required approval threshold and are therefore barred by law from serving as Control Yuan members.
In response to the vote, Chen Yung-hsing criticized the opposition parties for blocking an opportunity to reform the Control Yuan. Opposition parties, however, maintained that their votes were based on careful review and concerns over the nominees’ qualifications. The Presidential Office spokesperson said that President Lai Ching-te respects the result of the vote, but expressed concern that ongoing investigations may come to a standstill as a result.
第三則：AI 安全靠自律？川普與科技巨頭簽署自願性 AI 安全協議
美國總統川普 9 月 29 日在白宮召集多家科技巨頭，宣布與 AI 企業高層簽署一份自願性安全協議。川普形容這份文件類似於憲法，內容包括加強內部控管、第三方評估與風險審查。
不過，這項協議並沒有法律強制力，主要依靠企業自我監管。川普表示，協議具有道德約束力，並要求將「人工智慧」改稱為「超級智慧」。此外，未來可能成立約 10 人的委員會來監督產業發展。
Can AI Safety Rely on Self-Regulation? Trump Signs Voluntary AI Safety Pact with Tech Giants
U.S. President Donald Trump gathered several tech giants at the White House on September 29 and announced that he had signed a voluntary safety pact with senior AI company executives. Trump described the document as similar to a constitution, with commitments including stronger internal controls, third-party assessments, and risk reviews.
However, the pact has no legal force and mainly relies on companies to regulate themselves. Trump said the pact is morally binding and called for “artificial intelligence” to be renamed “super intelligence.” In addition, a committee of about 10 people may be formed in the future to oversee the development of the industry.
第四則：從 BTS、《獵人》到霹靂 麥當勞用精準 IP 操作抓住不同客群
麥當勞之所以成功，是因為讓每次聯名的 IP 各有任務。知名韓團 BTS 搭配高毛利、容易全球複製的雞塊套餐；動漫作品《獵人》靠卡片與加價購刺激收藏、拉高客單價；台灣布袋戲瑰寶霹靂則放上甜心卡，用較低風險接觸資深戲迷。
透過精準的 IP 策略，根據產品特性與不同世代和消費習慣的行銷目標進行排列組合，成功地將粉絲對偶像、動漫和本土文化的情感，進一步轉成實際消費與品牌黏著度。
From BTS and Hunter × Hunter to Pili, McDonald’s Uses Each IP to Reach a Different Audience
McDonald’s succeeds because each IP partnership has a different purpose. The famous K-pop group BTS was paired with high-margin Chicken McNuggets that could be sold easily around the world. Hunter × Hunter used character cards and add-on purchases to encourage collecting and raise customer spending. Pili characters appeared on the Sweetheart Card, helping McDonald’s reach longtime fans with lower risk.
Through a precise IP strategy, McDonald’s matches product features with the marketing goals of different generations and consumer habits. This allows the brand to turn fans’ emotional attachment to idols, anime, and local culture into actual purchases and stronger brand loyalty.
第五則：泰勒絲婚禮垃圾變藝術品 24 小時竟全賣光
美國歌手泰勒絲婚禮後，紐約藝術家 Justin Gignac 將場館外的瓶蓋、煙蒂與包裝紙收集起來，封進透明壓克力盒製成限量「雕塑品」。50 件作品上架後，約 24 小時就全部售罄。
原本毫無價值的垃圾，因為和名人婚禮產生連結，反而成了有人願意收藏的紀念品。Justin Gignac 也藉此挑戰人們對價值的想像：我們願意花錢買的，究竟是物品本身，還是它背後的故事與名人效應。
Trash From Taylor Swift’s Wedding Becomes Art, Sells Out in Just 24 Hours
After American singer Taylor Swift’s wedding, New York artist Justin Gignac collected bottle caps, cigarette butts, and wrappers left outside the venue. He sealed them inside clear acrylic boxes and turned them into limited-edition “sculptures.” All 50 pieces sold out in about 24 hours.
What was once worthless trash became collectible memorabilia simply because it was connected to a celebrity wedding. Justin Gignac uses the project to challenge how we think about value: are we really paying for the object itself, or for the story and celebrity effect behind it?
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
TSMC is reportedly considering a second US campus, while Taiwan’s government stresses that the company’s core research and development will remain in Taiwan.
The Legislative Yuan’s confirmation vote blocked all 27 nominees, as the opposition cited qualification concerns while the Presidential Office warned of possible delays in investigations.
Trump gathered tech giants to sign a voluntary AI safety pact, with plans for stronger risk reviews and a possible committee to oversee the industry.
McDonald’s shows how the right IP partnership can turn fan loyalty into sales while helping the brand reach different generations.
Justin Gignac’s project shows how celebrity culture and storytelling can turn even ordinary trash into something people are willing to collect.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
