Or meta is charging its customers more for AI-generated clicks, and the customers are yet to catch up.

Yeah, it is the stack exchange, but without the third comment by the person who actually got the question correctly and wrote the proper answer.

toiling (e.g., writing repetitive blocks of similar code)
If you're continuously "toiling", e.g. writing repetitive blocks of similar code, you're very likely doing it wrong.
But then you're the type of coder that will need to use "AI".

No, ac, everyone's paid based on what it says in their negotiated contracts.
Some of the time.

If the workers had produced "things of value" in the past couple of years instead of uninspired
Well, you made the claim there were things of value to be sold, so go argue with yourself.
I for one think it's a good thing that incompetence has consequences.
Sadly, not for the top-level managerial incompetence, which is most often the culprit, so your belief that everything is the fault of the people who have least to do with decision making will be proven wrong again and again.

Is it illegal to go out of business?
Depends. We saw that if you're a US bank it definitely is, unless you're the competitor of the company which has nurtured the treasury secretary.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
They've already sold off anything of value to Tencent.
Seems like the typical case of workers producing things of value that can actually be sold, and management managing the "American" way fucking them over for "shareholder value".

It is quite illegal to "replace" workers only because they use their legal right to negotiate working conditions. It would be a surefire way to get the company in trouble.

What Saint Ronnie "the Alz" Reagan did (actually not him, but the cabal behind him) was to move you financially from the sensible tax-and-spend paradigm, which is easy to observe and control, to the borrow-and-spend paradigm, which has defacto bankrupted you. He also moved the political discourse from a rational argument-based discussion to 'faith', which excludes rationality as a premise, setting you up for the civil decay you're seeing - the growth of the willfully ignorant, irrational and militant christian fundamentalism, which is very much alike its islamist mirror image in Iran.
Now hero trump is taking the next step, removing all pretense and stigma and declaring corruption to be not only okay, but the way to go forward, and removing all rationality from politics and replacing it with incoherent bullshit 120%.
These things aren't new in your country, but the degradation is now unstoppable.
Thanks to your saint in no small degree.

I did not say I subscribe to the theory, I just explained what it is.
The problem is more fundamental, capitalism has found the way to buy democracy wholesale and make the human life worthless, and this will work against any democracy and very fast.
Therefore you, writing here and your descendants are doomed if you leave it to large capital to decide.
The choice is yours - either press to get back your right of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" under some paradigm that is meaningful today, and it is obviously not the "democracy" of old, or succumb to grok and his owner, in the best case as a slave on Mars.
That's your stark choice today, really.

All strata of people commit fraud. Or is this just the standard Slashdot narrative that the honesty, morality, and basic decency of all humans is inversely proportional to how much money they have.
In all strata of people there is fraud that is committed. But in some strata the volumes of damage done per fraudster are huger because of the sheer scale possible, the percentage of the fraudsters in the stratum is enormouser because of the character traits one acquires to get into that stratum, and the chance to become the target of a rightful retribution is much, much smaller because the ability to influence the outcome is directly proportional to the fraud scale.
This ain't new or controversial, it is a fact of life.
But we know you're just trolling.

Of course, and why not if the masses are by and large supportive of this.

Ignorance like yours, is exactly what will get the Rest of Us the bare minimum. Or worse.
No, darling, you getting the bare minimum is your own doing, which has nothing to do with me.

I don't even know what a 'prescription provider' is. Where I live there are hospitals, clinics and pharmacies, and they still have people in them while being significantly cheaper than any LLM-leveraging trumpistani outfit, for example, without any observable ill effects in the quality of the medicine dispensation process.
