Robert Scoble on Apple, Siri, ChatGPT, Virtual Companions, AR/VR, and a Lifetime in Silicon Valley - Voicebot Podcast Ep 327

Robert Scoble did the first live stream of a ride in a Tesla. The
driver was Elon Musk. The Siri mobile app launched to the world
in his living room. He is the leading author on spatial
computing, is an AR/VR expert, and has seen a lot of technology
innovation up close over the years.


 


He and I caught up at Project Voice in April for a live interview
right after he interviewed the three Siri co-founders onstage. In
addition to his comments on the evolution of tech and Silicon
Valley over the past 30 years, we also go deep on ChatGPT and
Apple. His take on ChatGPT and the rise of AI companions is
intriguing.  


 


He also offers insight into what he expects Apple to launch this
year, maybe even in the next week at WWDC - a new Siri with AR
and generative AI capabilities. The leaks we saw this week in the
media confirm he has some inside knowledge of what is
coming. 


 



Robert Scoble was a Futurist at Rackspace Hosting, an
evangelist and strategist at Microsoft, and an executive at
several startups. He started as a journalist and ran several
high-profile tech conferences in the 1990s. He is also the
author of The Infinite Retina and The Fourth Transformation.
