Caræsten 🇵🇸 @cara.city · 22hthe thing I’m realizing is that Anthropic capex is bonkers and also between Gemini Pro and the Chinese open models, we’re on the cusp of a price war. so they’re spending enormous quantities of money they don’t *have* while the thing they’re selling is getting cheaper. 822931

Caræsten 🇵🇸 @cara.city · 28/09/2026yeah in fairness this is the main reason why I don’t think they should make class 3s illegal right now. NJ fucked it up so badly that it’s made it very hard to use *any* e bikes 2153
Caræsten 🇵🇸 @cara.city · 28/09/2026ok my actual take here is that, while I don’t think they should make them illegal, I do think an e-bike that does >20mph (so, all class 3 bikes) are dangerous 201202
