The AI Trick That Could UNLOCK Your Hidden Creative Genius

Most of work life doesn’t involve that much creativity. Instead, it involves experience. The more that you have seen before, the more likely it is that you will have a ready solution for something that comes up at work, because you have previous experience to draw on. That is effective, but it isn’t really that creative. Creative problem solving is needed when the situation doesn’t remind you of anything you have seen before that will provide you with a course of action. Of course, your first ap

Google's Moonshot Factory Says Its Most AMBITIOUS Work Is Still Ahead

A couple of miles from Google headquarters, a rehabbed midcentury shopping mall is home to a company that might be even Googlier than Google. Known as Google X until 2015, when it became a self-contained arm of the new holding company called Alphabet, it’s now just X. For clarity’s sake, it’s fond of calling itself “X, the Moonshot Factory”—definitely not to be confused with X, the Elon Musk-owned social network. The moonshots in question are the often outrageous-sounding, potentially world-chan

Amazon Just Locked Some Customers Out for a DISTURBING Reason

Meet Buddy: The Viral Device Helping Kids With ROUTINES

It’s 7:40 a.m. My toddler is still in her pajamas, teeth unbrushed, melting down because I gave her vanilla yogurt instead of strawberry, and there is no way I will get her to daycare on time.

Bluesky's New Boss Has a RADICAL Vision That Could Change Social Media

Today, I’m talking with Toni Schneider, who is the brand new CEO of the social platform Bluesky — he formally took over after a short stint as interim CEO. This is one of my favorite kinds of interviews to do on Decoder, because a couple years ago, we had Bluesky’s prior CEO, Jay Graber, on the show — she’s now the company’s chief innovation officer, and all of that kind of shuffle is pure Decoder bait.
