Show Notes
We are all making too much rubbish and it's going to landfill. This is generally agreed to be a bad ikdea - so of course we still do it. Chris Williams of ISB Global thinks this is an extremely bad idea and he's prepared to talk about why. His company offers a software solution to managing the disposal of what would otherwise become landfill but he also has some ideas about the sort of things we could all be doing to reduce waste - as well as explanations as to why waste is a bad idea in the first place. He speaks to Guy Clapperton, near futurist podcaster - and Guy also has a look at some of the note taking devices he uses in the new gadget slot.
More from The Near Futurist
Near futurist podcaster Guy Clapperton concludes his chat with Name.com's product engineering lead Katie Wokasch (and finishes off this series of the Near Futurist!) continuing the discussion on vibe coding; when do you need an engineer and indeed why do you need an engineer at all if the code is written for you? And if an app can be made so easily to what extent is it part of your business?
Good news - if you need an app or website for your business you no longer need to understand coding as you used to. There's this thing called Vibe Coding which enables you to ask AI to code it for you but there are gotchas. In this episode Guy Clapperton talks to Katie Wokasch, product engineering lead at Name.com, where this leaves us.
In this second part of the interview between Near Futurist podcaster Guy Clapperton and Plate-up co-founder and marketing director Jade de Thorpe, we continue to consider vibe coding and AI but also look at customer trust - and what sort of advice de Thorp would give others thinking of starting a business using this sort of technology. Should you wait until your offering is perfect?
In this series of the Near Futurist we've looked at some pretty grand stuff but technology is also good for the smaller things in life. This time we talk to Jade de Thorpe, marketing director of Plate-Up, about how something as simple as meal planning can be kickstarted with AI and Vibe Coding (more on vibe coding in a couple of weeks!)
Tropical rainforest damage, supply chain delays - so muck damage happens to the environment and we basically stand by and watch it. A company called Another Earth wants to do something more active and is developing synthetic data on our planet to support AI forecasting - co-founder and CEO Maya Pindeus explains to Near Futurist podcaster Guy Clapperton why this is important.
