  • 968: Is AI Automating Away All Coding Jobs?
    Feb 20 2026
    Now that AI agents can develop new apps from product development to delivery, do AI developers have reason to worry about their careers? Podcast host Jon Krohn addresses the stark predictions that AI could “eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs” by going back to the data. Find out why the numbers show a very different picture, which in-demand occupations have increased by 40% since late 2022, and Jon’s advice on why technical professionals shouldn’t panic in this latest Five-Minute Friday.

  • 966: The Moltbook Phenomenon: OpenClaw Unleashed
    Feb 13 2026
    Jon Krohn gives Five-Minute Friday listeners all the details about the new social network causing a stir, Moltbook. What makes Moltbook so unique is that this is the first network designed just for AI agents. It’s an exclusive club, only its alleged 1.5 million registered agents can post, comment, and upvote, but we can watch this real-world experiment in agent ecology from the sidelines. Listen to the episode to hear the fascinating, if disturbing, story of Moltbook’s swift turn into facilitating a digital theocracy and forms of government, and whether this development is a sign of an approaching singularity or rather AI continuing to ape human thought and turn it into slop.

  • 961: Distributed Artificial Superintelligence, with Dr. Vijoy Pandey
    Jan 27 2026
    Dr. Vijoy Pandey returns to the show to talk to Jon Krohn about Cisco’s work to advance medicine and mitigate the impact of climate change with distributed artificial super-intelligence. Dr. Vijoy Pandey believes in a future where humans and AI agents work together to tackle our biggest challenges. For this to happen, we will need to have multi-agent systems and open-source platforms that let agents work together, avoiding the phenomenon of AI agents being “isolated geniuses” unable to collaborate. He elaborates on what Cisco is doing to close this gap. This episode is brought to you by the⁠ ⁠⁠Dell⁠⁠⁠, by⁠ ⁠⁠Intel⁠⁠⁠, by ⁠Fabi⁠ and by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Scaylor⁠.
