[sl4] Comparative Advantage Doesn't Ensure Survival

I came across a section in "Beyond AI" by J. Storrs Hall saying that
the economic law of comparative advantage implies that we can't be
out-competed by AI's. I have also seen other people making the same
claim. The argument seems invalid to me, and I wrote a rebuttal at:

I'd like to be wrong here. If anyone sees a counter to the rebuttal,
please let me know.
