In this episode of “Lunch with Chris” features an interview with long-time technology expert Robert Scoble, who discusses his career, which included work at Apple and Microsoft, and the current landscape of future technology. Scoble explains the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence, noting he tracks 35,000 developers and highlighting the emergence of effective systems like agentic AI for automating tasks. He predicts that sophisticated, generalized humanoid robots are approaching the market, possibly within about five years, due to breakthroughs in faster learning models. Shifting to broader societal impacts, the conversation addresses the imminent job displacement of workers like truck drivers, for whom Scoble advocates a national “new GI Bill” for retraining instead of universal income.
