Understanding the Elegant Math Behind Modern Machine Learning 1:14:43

10天之前1:14:43

1:14:43

Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Another day in the woods. A note: the text in this episode was AI generated. It comes from a ChaptGPT prompt asking for a podcast-styled narrative story about walking in the woods while it’s raining. I’ve tweaked language in places, and the rest of the production and music is completely original from me. This is meant to be more of a practice exercise and experiment, and is in no way an endorsement for AI podcasting or the replacement of human creative pursuits.…

Mary Oliver once wrote, "The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time."

There's a cool concept called "The Global Sunrise." This is the idea that, as the dawn sun hits the earth, birds are waking up and singing their morning song. As daylight moves across the planet, there's a constant hum of new birdsong ringing out somewhere. So here's a little sonic experiment, where you can experience birdsong from all over the worth, progressively, as the day light might hit it. All the bird sounds in this episode came from the following: https://freesound.org/people/EduFigueres/sounds/266376/ https://freesound.org/people/Vortichez/sounds/432523/ https://freesound.org/people/Vortichez/sounds/432523/ https://freesound.org/people/robyn.levy323/sounds/519206/ https://freesound.org/people/taylordonj/sounds/521366/ https://freesound.org/people/rbnx/sounds/268080/ https://freesound.org/people/tbirch55/sounds/340091/ https://freesound.org/people/rbnx/sounds/268080/geotag/ https://freesound.org/people/straget/sounds/411849/ https://freesound.org/people/Franki-01234/sounds/214869/ https://freesound.org/people/DCPoke/sounds/387978/ https://freesound.org/people/hargissssound/sounds/345851/ https://freesound.org/people/1ratatosk1/sounds/392181/ https://freesound.org/people/ciccarelli/sounds/442844/ https://freesound.org/people/mmiinneerr/sounds/649218/ https://freesound.org/people/kyles/sounds/452411/ https://freesound.org/people/Martin.Sadoux/sounds/423908/ https://freesound.org/people/EpicWizard/sounds/394291/ https://freesound.org/people/burgersmoke/sounds/642005/ https://freesound.org/people/burgersmoke/sounds/640991/ https://freesound.org/people/Oxlaey/sounds/371881/ https://freesound.org/people/hendricbona/sounds/294467/ https://freesound.org/people/coalcon/sounds/636071/ https://freesound.org/people/Lydmakeren/sounds/510480/ https://freesound.org/people/royshavit/sounds/653915/geotag/ https://freesound.org/people/thegreatbelow/sounds/546794/geotag/ https://freesound.org/people/99021905683/sounds/571316/ https://freesound.org/people/99021905683/sounds/571316/geotag/ https://freesound.org/people/sphion/sounds/158527/ https://freesound.org/people/MartinDanta/sounds/511486/ https://freesound.org/people/baryy/sounds/409145/ https://freesound.org/people/jigmet/sounds/479324/ https://freesound.org/people/liseclavier/sounds/463530/ https://freesound.org/people/guanescape/sounds/640088/ https://freesound.org/people/universildo/sounds/151773/ https://freesound.org/people/cartoonrob/sounds/588465/ https://freesound.org/people/ollermarc/sounds/426276/ https://freesound.org/people/sama66/sounds/462136/ https://freesound.org/people/titi2/sounds/509937/ https://freesound.org/people/emmanuel.faivre/sounds/611615/ https://freesound.org/people/Tito%20Lahaye/sounds/332025/ https://freesound.org/people/Rajaraman/sounds/362211/…
