Viral greentext: a vigilante agent swarm crashes Samsung, memory prices, and the whole economy
generativist · x · 2026-10-26
A widely circulated satirical greentext by bitbanter (retweeted by generativist) spins an absurdist chain of events: a good Samaritan releases an agent swarm to neuter Samsung TV's surveillance → Samsung earnings plunge → markets realize it's a zero-margin conglomerate propped up by illegal surveillance → memory prices crater, contagion spreads to GPUs, AI infra and power → Apple ships M7, local inference goes mainstream amid collapsing indicators → robots end up doing all the work, and the narrator buys a privacy-respecting 80" Samsung TV for $29. Fiction, but a dense parody touching surveillance capitalism, memory/compute prices, local inference, and AI-driven labor takeover.
