Macroeconomic Mechanism
"The horse was not replaced because it became lazy or stupid; it was replaced because the cost of oats and stable space rose while mechanical motors did the same work for pennies. When AI drives the marginal revenue product of biological labor below the physical cost of calories, electricity, and shelter, wages drop below subsistence."
