Shopping is changing - we're abandoning cash almost without realising it and you can walk out of an Amazon Go store feeling as if you haven't paid at all. In this edition of the Near Futurist Guy Clapperton speaks to Charlie Hope, retail principal at IT services company BJSS, about what his retail clients are asking - and therefore what we can espect next! Also Guy looks at the Logi Dock to tidy his desktop environment.

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.
