Scaling to save cities money and prepare for the future - reducing floods and stormwater burden – at Ottawa, Ontario
Replying to @BradMBradford
This is a game-changer for managing stormwater floods. With 95% permeability, it's not only more effective than traditional materials but also stronger and more durable. Excited to see how innovations like this can reshape our approach to urban planning and contribute to a more sustainable future. Thanks Taylor for stopping by!

The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute

My company’s been using Muse for 2 days and I’m starting to get the feeling that we may not have to be in front of computers for productivity much longer…. Can just talk to your GLASSES or CAR to get things done at elite level. wtf

A lot of problems in life are solved by simply adjusting your internal narrative from saying you “have to” do something to saying you “get to” do something. It’s a reminder that most of what we complain about today is something our older self will wish they could go back and do.

I’m convinced discipline is just the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

My prediction of what's going to happen to AI Agents by the end of 2026: - Anthropic will lock everything down under its own platform and come out with their own version of OpenClaw that will do 90% of what current OpenClaw does, but with a lot of security layers and much less true automation. It'll still be VERY capable, but will require quite a bit of baby-sitting to do truly autonomous work. - OpenAI will come out with a model SPECIFICALLY for OpenClaw orchestration & tool execution that will make OpenClaw EXTREMELY capable at doing long-running tasks on a computer. - xAI will come out with its own agentic solution, but it'll be proprietary to the Musk ecosystem - will only run on Tesla inference chips to start, but will eventually branch out into local inference machines tapping into Tesla's chip supply chain. People will basically be able to buy an AI4/AI5+ "computer" to plop in their homes, and that "computer" will run xAI's hyper-optimized agentic Grok that will do inference locally for as much as possible, and ping the cloud for super complex tasks. Grok 5 should make this obvious. It's gonna be WILD.

Claude cowork's chrome extension is a glimpse. Feels like by year end this will be normal computing. We're paying about $50 per major task though, reloading tokens to keep working. Can't wait to have Cowork-quality software + Opus level models running locally 247

PurePave Technologies is building the data-validated infrastructure layer for climate-resilient cities. Tomorrow I'm presenting at the American Society of Civil Engineers' Low Impact Development Conference USA in Jacksonville FL. The transformative impact of advanced permeable systems with sensors that feed ai models... actually wild. @PurePaveTech

Never thought I’d be itching so hard to buy a 20k computer. One of my primary KPIs as a ceo for 2026 was artifact creation. Now I’ve built something that can truly automate every workflow in the company. The Mac mini was a test run. Have automated SEO, GEO, media organization. I’m convinced the maxed studio will give birth to hyperscale @PurePaveTech
