All I got is “renting is insurance or an arb against people stealing your e-bike in under a year”, which would be pretty grim if true.
The economics of e-bikes are bizarre to me.
They’re mid to bad for exercise, are about $30-
40 an hour, more expensive than any of vanpooling, zipcars, or short-leg ubers, and at two rides a week, buying your own pays back in under a year.
What’s the appeal?
Probably “AI as collaborative tutor”.
The societal importance of “the price of good tutoring on standard topics has fallen to twenty bucks a month” has not yet been widely recognized.
Almost every biography (published or personally related) about tech innovators involves their being a computer in their childhood home (usually earlier than others), and they were drawn to it, explored it, and learned how it worked. I had the same experience. What's the equivalent for the innovators that are currently children? What device, or tech, are they playing with before everyone else? What are they doing with it?

The BIGGEST opportunity in tele-operated robots is Mr. Beastian colosseum spectacle, harmless bloodsports with theatrical explosions and combat, high stakes cash prizes and human-interest drama.
Contestants must MAIM and KILL other robots to change their lives
Most don't even calculate their own next 5 years.
Ask a person "with five years you could maybe become world-expert good at something. What are you planning to learn?". Typical answer is confusion.
If they don't pay that mind to themselves, little hope they do it anywhere else.
People think the winning move at buffets is "straight to the carving table".
They're right, but the alternative win condition is "eating the entire slop tray of extra cheesy macaroni".
The FedEx logo secretly hides the word “fed” in it, which stands for “Federal”. Experts are still working on what they meant by the “ex” part.
Something uniquely insipid about r/PeterExplainsTheJoke.
They somehow found a way to combine the worst part of family guy AND Reddit.
