AI is reshaping the world in two directions: OpenAI solved a mathematical problem in under an hour, while former crypto believer TeraWulf signed a $19 billion order to mine AI compute for Anthropic. Meanwhile, the energy war in the real world erupted in the Strait of Hormuz—oil prices surging, strait blocked, drones in combat for the first time—reminding us that no matter how smart AI is, the physical world's oil and chip supply chains remain fragile. When SK Hynix plunged 15% due to geopolitical panic, you will find: the compute revolution and energy crisis are always two sides of the same coin.
