If someone was going to reward me for burning a lot of tokens, I’d feed LLM output into the LLM input until they ran out of rewards.

I think we probably agree on the fundamentals here: it’s the power and speed that should be a regulatory distinction.

That’s not e-bike versus e-motorcycle exactly. It doesn’t matter what the form factor or control mechanism is. If it’s fast and powerful, you can’t ride it on bike paths and need a driver’s license to take it on the road.

How should one distinguish them? Pedals are the obvious way, but they don’t have anything to do with safety. A bike could have pedals and go 200 km/h.
