Dhinchcliffe argues the price of artificial thought is collapsing 12.7x per year, faster than any transformative technology before it. As high-quality intelligence becomes superabundant, the economy will reorganize around what stays scarce: judgment, trust, taste, agency, proprietary data, energy, and attention. His framing: the Industrial Revolution made muscle cheap, the Information Revolution made information cheap, and the AI Revolution is making thought itself cheap.
