"We could hold a certain percentage of our supply off to the side for consumers so they can afford our products and have a backup for when the AI bubble bursts, but nah let's just fuck everyone because line is going up right now and MBA brain means that's all that matters."

People joke about companies being too big to fail, but Samsung is the largest of a group of conglomerates that basically run South Korea. They know there's no way the government will allow them to collapse since they would take the Korean economy down with them. Why not take the most profitable route when there's no risk (to them, which is all they care about)?

As crazy as it seems, these companies are staffed by actual humans who still have to live in the world they create. Profits won't mean much if they use them to ruin everything around them. Not that they're smart enough to realize that.
