BBC’s coverage of the 100 meter final was fantastic

New York City paid Mckinsey $4m to conduct a feasibility study on whether trash bins are better than leaving garbage on the street.

The deck is 95-slides long and titled “The Future of Trash”.

Some highlights:

▫️The official term is “containerization”, which is the “storage of waste in sealed, rodent-proof receptacles rather than in plastic bags placed directly on the curb.”

▫️Two main types of containerization: 1) individual bins for low density locales; 2) shared containers for high-density.

▫️NYC needs to clean up 24,000,000lbs of garbage a day

▫️Containerization has only become the norm worldwide in major cities in the past 15 years.

▫️New York City first considered containerization in the 1970s but never conducted a feasibility study until now (Mckinsey’s sales team has been dropping the ball)

▫️Key considerations for container viability:

• POPULATION DENSITY: NYC has 30k residents per square mile (more dense than comparable big cities)

• BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Few places to “hide” containers due to history of infrastructure development.

• WEATHER: Snow creates challenges for “mechanized collection” in the winter.

• CURB SPACE: Mostly taken up by bus stops, bike lanes, outdoor dining and fire hydrants.

• COLLECTION FREQUENCY: NYC needs to double frequency of pick-up for estimated speed of trash that bins would accumulate.

• FLEET: A new garbage truck will needs to be designed to collect rolling bins at scale.

▫️ The proposed solution (literally garbage bins and shared containers) covers 89% of NYC streets and 77% of residential tonnage.

▫️The three case studies — because you gotta have solid case studies — are Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona.

▫️There is a slide called “Why containerization matters” and three reasons are “rats”, “pedestrian obstruction” and “dirty streets” (the 21-year intern that did this slide billed at prob $10k an hour is my hero).

The study is actually pretty interesting.

I have no idea if $4m is a rip-off to learn that “yeah, we should put garbage in bins so rats don’t eat it” but I would have happily done it for 10-20% of that budget (and come to a similar conclusion).

iPad calculator is actually pretty nuts

[Chief AI Officer @chiefaioffice]

TLDR: Google is ALL IN on AI agents

AI agents are deployed across their whole product ecosystem.

8 wild demos from Google I/O today:

1. An email agent to continuously organise all receipts in your inbox into a spreadsheet

[Mckay Wrigley @mckaywrigley]

This demo is insane.

A student shares their iPad screen with the new ChatGPT + GPT-4o, and the AI speaks with them and helps them learn in *realtime*.

Imagine giving this to every student in the world.

The future is so, so bright.

1/ Youtuber @MKBHD recently tested Fisker's latest EV and called it the "worst car I've ever reviewed."

The video has picked up 4.3 million views since he posted it and even reached execs at the company.

But things got really weird when Fisker responded. Let's get into it.

Reddit JUST announced it is going public under the symbol $RDDT

Quick metrics:

- 100,000 communities
- $804 million in annual sales for 2023
- 73M daily active users
- ~$10B valuation

Why this is cool...

Reddit has been just quietly doing its thing for 18 years.

It's TODAY's reminder that you don't need to build something that goes crazy viral to build a $10B outcome.

And communities compound.

Just keep going.

All of these UNBELIEVABLE videos were created using Sora, the new AI model from OpenAI

Watch each one and see how it makes you feel...

I don't think it's crazy for me to say this going to shift Hollywood, social apps and media forever

Video #1
Prompt: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in burano italy.

An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor.

Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings.

My take:

This dog looks freakishly real. I want to pet him.
