Read More Why Creatives Shouldn’t Be Afraid Of Artificial Intelligence
Deutsch chief technology officer Trevor O’Brien on why you should stop worrying about AI, and love how it will improve your job.
There has been much written about the 80/20 rule and how it can be applied to different facets of our lives. At work, 20% of your time should be spent on passion projects. At home, ensure 20% of your time is spent doing the things that make you feel fulfilled.

Brainstorming Is Dumb
Studies show it produces fewer good ideas than when people think on their own. Thankfully, there’s a better way to work in groups.
If you work in an office, your boss has probably forced you into a brainstorming session or two (or 12). Brainstorming, after all, is supposedly a killer way to come up with ideas, and businesses want to take advantage of all that collective creativity. But it turns out that brainstorming is actually a terrible technique—in fact, people generate fewer good ideas when they brainstorm together than when they work alone. Thankfully, there’s a better way: a technique called brainwriting (think brainstorming, but with a pen and paper and less chitchat). And in a new study, researchers tested out variations of this method to understand exactly how to help people come up with their best ideas.

This “Uber For Dog Poop” App Is Definitely Fake–Sorry, Sharing Economy Enthusiasts
Silicon Valley is home to some crazy apps, but “Uber for dog poop” isn’t one of them. It’s an art project, not a real business.
Last week news of a new “Uber for dog poop” app called Pooper spread across the web. The app’s website, complete with a professional-looking promo video, promises on-demand pickup of your furball’s excrement for a small monthly fee. All you would have to do, the website claimed, is snap a photo of Fido’s filthy business and someone in a Prius would come by and collect it for you.
