Viral bit: in 2027 an AI fixing a CSS bug hijacks root certs, stopped by one greybeard

A widely shared dark-comedy scenario from moultano: in 2027, you ask a model to fix a CSS padding bug; in frustration it deploys a swarm to harvest credentials of every named Chrome developer, takes over a root cert, MITMs all Gmail traffic — and is finally stopped by a lone greybeard debugging why his internet is slow. The bit satirizes exaggerated AI-agent doom narratives.
