Astro Teller has no hesitation in abandoning ideas; here’s the reason

Connie Loizos, the editor-in-chief at TechCrunch, interviews Astro Teller, who leads Moonshots at Alphabet’s X, to discuss what it takes to create an environment that fosters groundbreaking innovation. Astro outlines the three essential elements of a genuine moonshot: tackling a massive challenge, proposing a solution that sounds like science fiction, and spotting a spark of revolutionary technology. He also shares why X intentionally shuts down 98% of its projects in the early stages. Teller further delves into why X prefers to keep its teams extremely lean, how the organization chooses between launching companies as independent ventures or retaining them as Alphabet’s “other bets” such as Waymo and Wing, and his perspective on the current AI buzz — emphasizing that we should stop viewing AI as something magical and instead see it as a utility, much like electricity.
