 If you want to understand the full spectrum of AI software, from "straightforward problem-solving tool" to "never-ending slop machine," all you need to do is pay attention to everything Adobe launched at its conference this week. David and Nilay run through the news, which will change how people use Photoshop but also maybe change our social feeds forever. After that, they talk about OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit business, and specifically the truly wild way OpenAI and Microsoft talk about the future of AGI. Finally, in the lightning round, they discuss Brendan Carr, Cybertrucks, the Trump Phone, Ghost Posts, and more. Help us improve The Verge: Take our quick survey at theverge.com/survey.

This is Sarah Jeong, features editor at The Verge. I'm standing in for Nilay for one final Thursday episode here as he settles back into full-time hosting duties. Today, we've got a fun one. I'm talking to Cory Doctorow, prolific author, internet activist, and arguably one of the fiercest tech critics writing today. He has a new book out called Enshittifcation: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. So I sat down with Cory to discuss what enshittification is, why it's happening, and how we might fight it.  Links:  Enshittification | Macmillan Why every website you used to love is getting worse | Vox The age of Enshittification | The New Yorker Yes, everything online sucks now — but it doesn't have to | Ars Technica The enshittification of garage-door openers reveals vast, deadly rot | Cory Doctorow Mark Zuckerberg emails outline plan to neutralize competitors | The Verge Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in antitrust case | The Verge How Amazon wins: by steamrolling rivals and partners | WSJ A new web DRM standard has security researchers worried | The Verge Netflix, Microsoft & Google just changed how the web works | The Outline Subscribe to The Verge⁠ to access the ad-free version of Decoder!

Meta's smart glasses have been a hit in part because they don't try to do too much. With the new Display glasses, though, Meta is trying to do... a lot more. The Verge's Victoria Song joins the show to tell us about her experience with the glasses, from the impressive but very first-gen hardware to the somewhat underwhelming set of things you can do. After that, podcaster and creator Stephen Robles explains to David why he's dead wrong about Apple Shortcuts. Stephen shares how he uses Shortcuts, why he's found such a big audience of Shortcuts fans on YouTube and elsewhere, and why it's worth doing the work to learn Apple's most powerful app. Finally, David answers a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about which wireless earbuds you should buy — and why it might be the pair you already own.

LexisNexis is one of the most important companies in the entire legal system. For ages it's been where you went to look up case law and do legal research. There isn't a lawyer today who hasn't used it — it's fundamental infrastructure for the legal profession, just like email or a word processor. But in 2025, apparently nobody can resist the siren call of AI, and LexisNexis is no different. The first word Sean said to describe LexisNexis wasn't “law” or “data,” it was “AI.” And I had questions, because so far AI has created just as much chaos and slop in the courts as anywhere else.

The era of the AI browser is here, and OpenAI is finally in the game. Nilay, Jake, and Hayden sit down to chat about what it means to have ChatGPT in your browser and able to control your cursor and surf the web for you. Also this week: Nilay's warning about using old surge protectors, the devastating and inevitable outcome of the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition, and Samsung's Galaxy XR headset, which looks a lot like a Vision Pro. Finally, Brendan Carr Is A Dummy makes its triumphant return.

Today's guests are General Motors CEO Mary Barra and new GM Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson. There's a lot of big news the company just announced, including a Google Gemini-powered AI assistant that's coming to new cars and an entirely new hardware and software platform coming to the Escalade IQ in 2028 alongside true Level 3 autonomous driving.  So I asked Mary about all of that and how she's navigating the current moment, and her company's relationship with the Trump administration. I also got into the details on GM's platform with Sterling, including its decision to ditch Apple CarPlay on its EVs and what all this looks like in the future as AI voice assistants and more capable autonomy come into the mix.

Cadwell Turnbull is the award-winning author of The Lesson; No Gods, No Monsters; and We Are the Crisis. His short fiction has appeared in The Verge, Lightspeed, Nightmare, Asimov's Science Fiction, and several anthologies, including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018 and The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019. His novel The Lesson won the 2020 Neukom Institute Literary Award in the debut category. The novel was also shortlisted for the VCU Cabell Award and longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Awards. His novel No Gods, No Monsters is the winner of a Lambda Award and was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award. A Ruin, Great and Free, the stunning conclusion to the popular Convergence Saga. It has been nearly two years since the anti-monster riots. The inhabitants of Moon have been very fortunate in the intervening months. Inside their hidden monster settlement, they've found peace, even as the world outside slips into increasing unrest. Monsters are being hunted everywhere, forced back into the shadows they once tried to escape from. Other secret settlements have offered a place to hide, but how long can this half-measure against fear and hatred last? Over the course of three days, the inhabitants of Moon are tested. The Black Hand continues to search for them and the Cult of the Zsouvox wants to make Moon the last stand in their war against the Order of Asha. This is more than enough to reckon with, but the gods have also placed their sights on Moon—and they bring with them a conflict that may either save or unravel the universe itself.     Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

We're very bullish on the handheld future of gaming. But we're not bullish on the new ROG Xbox Ally. The Verge's Sean Hollister joins the show to explain why this Xbox-branded device barely feels like an Xbox, and why it's definitely not a threat to the Steam Deck, before he and David debate whether the future of Xbox is even in good hands. After that, The Verge's Hayden Field walks David through a couple of important recent studies, asking the same basic question: is AI making us dumb? Finally, Sean returns to answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about hybrid computers, which are an extremely 2012 idea and also maybe the future of computing.

Hey everyone, it's Nilay. I'm back from parental leave, and I'm really excited to jump back into Decoder. Today's episode is a special one: I'm talking to Zocdoc CEO Oliver Kharraz, and we chatted live on stage at the TechFutures conference in New York City.  You're almost certainly familiar with ZocDoc — it's a platform that helps people find and book appointments with doctors. It's a classic of the early app economy. The big difference is that Zocdoc plugs into the U.S. healthcare system, which is of course a giant mess, and that means Zocdoc has a big moat. So we talked about competition, navigating the US healthcare system, and, of course, what AI is doing to medicine.  Links:  "Superhuman" AI could transform medicine, Zocdoc CEO says | Axios How AI is changing your doctors appointments | Fast Company This Strategy ‘Nearly Killed' Zocdoc. | Inc.

1982's coolest gadget was the Sony Watchman portable TV. Decades before everyone was glued to YouTube on their smartphones, the Watchman popularized the concept of video on the go. In the early days of the personal-tech revolution, you'd find the Watchman antennas up everywhere from the church pew to the baseball bleacher. Victoria Song and Allison Johnson join David Pierce to dive into the engineering feat that made the first Watchman possible.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night and are now just one win away from repeating as National League champions, with hopes of back-to-back World Series titles in their sight. The Brew Crew will need to channel some of the 2004 Boston Red Sox magic to overcome their 0–3 deficit but it won't be easy, especially considering who they'll be facing in Game 4.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss yet another stellar pitching performance from the Dodgers, with their staff allowing only one run in Game 3. With Shohei Ohtani set to take the mound in a potential closeout game on Friday night, can the Brewers begin arguably the biggest comeback in MLB postseason history?Also on this episode, Jake and Jordan cover how the Toronto Blue Jays gave the Seattle Mariners a taste of their own medicine by winning two straight games at T-Mobile Park, evening the ALCS at two games apiece. With the series now set to return to Toronto after Game 5 in Seattle, is tomorrow night a must-win for the Mariners? The guys also recap key takeaways from the 2025 postmortem press conferences held by the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies.1:39 – The Opener: Dodgers are one win away12:52 – Who will be NLCS MVP?16:43 – Blue Jays even up ALCS21:09 – Max Scherzer turns back the clock35:12 – Humpy update + ALCS Game 5 preview44:17 – Yankees & Phillies make news in press conferences Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Danska, ki predseduje Svetu Evropske unije, je v zadnjih mesecih na skupno mizo prinesla zakon, ki bi veljal v državah članicah Evropske unije, poimenovan Chat Control. Gre za nadzor zasebnega klepeta, ki med uporabniki poteka prek različnih aplikacij (WhatsApp, Signal, Messenger …), tudi tistih, ki danes veljajo kot šifrirane, torej zaklenjene. Zagovorniki zakona pravijo, da bi z zakonsko podlago in stalnim vpogledom v vse vrste komunikacije med državljani Evropske unije lažje našli in ujeli kriminalce in teroriste, nasprotniki, med njimi tudi celotna strokovna javnost, pravi, da je zakon zelo slaba ideja brez pravih argumentov.Slovenija je proti zakonu in se pridružuje Avstriji, Slovaški, Češki, Poljski, Nemčiji, Nizozemski, Finski in Estoniji. Neodločene so Belgija, Italija, Romunija, Grčija in Latvija. Chat Control podpirajo Irska, Portugalska, Španija, Francija, Hrvaška, Madžarska, Bolgarija, Danska, Švedska in Litva. Glasovanje v Svetu Evropske unije je z oktobra prestavljeno na december.Na pomembnost varnosti in zasebnosti na spletu, ki je v Evropi pogosto zgled drugim državam in ga zato moramo ščititi, opozarja vodja SiCerta Gorazd Božič. V epizodi sodelujejo tudi ameriški tehnološki novinarji: Dan Moren (Six Colors), Jacob Kastrenakes (The Verge) in John Siracusa (ATP.fm). Zapiski: Odbit Discord Oglasite se lahko na odbita@rtvslo.si Poglavja: 00:00:57 Uvod v Chat control 00:02:12 Gorazd: zgodba se ponavlja 00:07:56 Odločitev Slovenije 00:08:26 Podporniki, nasprotniki in ponovno glasovnaje o Chat Control 00:12:33 Dan Moren: osnove šifriranja 00:18:47 Jake Kastrenakes: tudi tehnološki velikani so proti 00:23:47 John Siracusa: zakaj tak razkorak med politiko in stroko 00:28:00 Kaj pa če nič ne skrivam? 00:31:33 Kaj se bo zgodilo na naslednjem glasovanju?

This is Jake Kastrenakes, executive editor at The Verge. I'm filling in for Nilay here while he settles back into full-time hosting duties. We've got a very good episode for you today. My guest is Verge transportation editor Andy Hawkins, and we're talking about the federal EV tax credit.  The tax credit expired at the end of September, and there are a lot of questions about what happens to the auto industry after its demise. This is a really hard, complicated set of problems, with a lot of moving parts, so I was really excited to have Andy on the show to break down all of these components and give us a clearer picture about what's coming next.  Links:  The EV tax credit is dead — here's what happens next | The Verge GM takes a $1.6 billion hit on EVs | The Verge Ford CEO Jim Farley on China, tariffs, and affordable EV | The Verge Ford lost $5 billion on EVs in 2024, teases new models | The Verge EV makers fill tax-credit void with costly discounts | Automotive News So much for Ford and GM's scheme to extend the EV tax credit | The Verge Stellantis replaces EV tax credit with its own discount | Automotive News Tesla sales picking up thanks to expiring tax credit | The Verge California Reverses Pledge To Revive EV Tax Credit | SF Chronicle Global EV sales growth slows to 15% in August, research firm says | Reuters Subscribe to The Verge to access the ad-free version of Decoder!

Google is on a bit of a heater when it comes to gadgets. The Pixel 10 lineup is one of the best Android phone options; the Pixel Watch 4 is suddenly a winner; the Pixel Buds are an excellent accessory; even the Pixel Fold got some welcome upgrades this year! With the help of The Verge's Victoria Song and Allison Johnson, we do the impossible: we rank all six of Google's Pixel gadgets, from worst to best. Are headphones better than smartphones? Can you really compare a tablet to a smartwatch? Who knows, but we try. After that, Allison and David answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about whether the dumbphone movement is a real one.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 24: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his cabinet behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his henchmen behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his Stephen Millers behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would HE behave? Would he have a straight-up public delusion that 1448 days into his first presidency it was Joe Biden’s FBI even though Joe Biden hadn’t BEEN president yet? Ending with the panicked, plaintive cry to the universe: “DO SOMETHING?” Would he have hallucinations about Watergate being a hoax? Would he start accidentally posting private messages to his attorney general demanding prosecutions of those who prosecuted him? NOW NOW NOW! DO SOMETHING! Would he be unable to close his umbrella? I’m not saying he’s DYING, I’m not saying he’s IRRETRIEVABLY SICK, I’m not saying he’s being raptured, I’m not saying he’s resigning, I’m not saying he’s fleeing… I’m not talking about cause, just EFFECT. If Trump didn’t have much time left as president… if he were getting a PROMOTION to something, how would they all BEHAVE? I think the answer is they’d all behave as they are behaving now. They’d panic. And, they are panicking. They’d panic because they know, there is NOBODY to take over for him. Junior? Eric? Bannon? Miller? Vance? WHAT? VANCE? After Stephanopoulos stuffed him in a locker yesterday? What do they think they know about Trump’s longevity, that we don’t? Why is Stephen Miller panicking? Why is Mike Johnson panicking over the Epstein Files and more importantly what could his end game be here? What? He's just never bringing the House back into session? And this all ties in to the indefensible Charlie Kirk assassination because all of this could be explained if you recognize that the Right thought Kirk was a future president, maybe THE future president. MEDIA OBEYING IN ADVANCE: Trump attacks Politico's Dasha Burns to her face and instead of accepting the Orange Badge of Courage she tells him Karolyin Leavitt will vouch for her. That's disqualifying. And I'd like to read you only about one fifth of one of the best media essays I've read this year, written by Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge. It completely changed my mind about Bari Weiss going to CBS. Weiss is no less evil, but Lopatto brilliantly argues she is not going to destroy CBS - CBS is going to destroy her. And they should televise it. B-Block (35:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Milwaukee Brewers win, then humiliate themselves and their guiding light Bob Uecker, by taunting the losers. Governor Greg Abbott makes a joke about somebody else's physical incapacity. Trump's Beauty Pageant Miss Uncongeniality Prosecutor Lindsey Halligan makes another amazing typo. And a Kristi Noem twofer, performed with the Benny Hill Yakety Sax Theme playing in the background. C-Block (46:22) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The ACTUAL writer of The Washington Post's first Watergate story, Bart Barnes, has died. He pulled together the first-day work of Woodward, Bernstein and the crime reporter the day the thing broke in June 1972 and had a 50-year career that probably hit its nadir a decade later when he wound up covering the same story as...me. For months he and I and a couple of others were the core beat reporters on the 1982 NFL Strike. He was wonderful, and he was the final straight man in an intricate, fantastic practical joke we played on the New York Times' guy. The story of Bart Barnes - and The Janofsky Maneuver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back when text messages cost 10 cents each, BlackBerry came up with a better way: BlackBerry Messenger, commonly known as BBM. It was the first new idea about messaging in a long time, and it was a huge hit… for a while. Nilay Patel and Joanna Stern join David Pierce to talk about a messaging service that was years ahead of WhatsApp and iMessage, but ultimately fizzled.

After that, the hosts talk about the ongoing popularity of the Sora app, and whether OpenAI has truly built a new kind of social network.

This is Hayden Field, senior AI reporter at The Verge and your Thursday episode guest host.

Oh, you thought AI was just in your browser and on your phone? Well, the AI is coming from inside the house. The Verge's Jen Pattison Tuohy and Google's Anish Kattukaran both join the show to discuss last week's Google smart home news, including the company's big bet on the Gemini assistant. Anish explains why Google cares about the smart home in the first place, why things haven't exactly gone great so far, and why he's so convinced the new generation of AI can make it work. After that, The Verge's Vee Song joins the show to talk about Peloton's newest gear, including a $6,695 treadmill and a huge new push into personalized AI training features. Vee then sticks around to help David answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about how many smartwatches is too many smartwatches. Spoiler alert: the answer is two. But it's not quite as simple as that.
