Aluminum used to be more expensive than platinum. Now we crumple it up and throw it in the bin. AI has done the same thing to the cost of a line of code.

And hopefully it will to that to all labor, so we can finally crumple up the workers and throw them into the bin too!

And those greedy workers shouldn't complain, they should be happy about the change! Now they can have as much of the stuff we throw in the bin as they want!
