Designing for 100 Years… in 100 Seconds? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Autocomplete, copilot, or agent: what AEC software companies mean by AI, and whether you can prompt a building. -------- This is episode 2 of The Next AEC Tech Stack's Arc 2: agentic AI. I put two questions to the same AEC software partners back to back. When a vendor says AI, is it autocomplete, a copilot, or an agent, and does the difference matter to you?

Nearly everyone in this arc got asked some version of two questions — where AI's judgment ends and yours begins, and what interoperability actually delivers once the vendor promises are stripped away. This episode is the answers, on camera, with no script and no approval over the final cut. Roderick Bates at Chaos draws the
Architects and Slop (not AI slop – building slop) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The full, uncut Clifton Harness (CEO & Co-Founder, TestFit) segment from TRXL 238 — every clip pulled from this conversation, back to back. Algorithmic design and architectural identity, why "the world is okay with slop," and the financial fitness test every building has to pass before design ever gets a vote.
