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 math that powers 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.

My friend Adriaan has been training me in Hell's Basement (his home gym) during these Covid times and it's as horrific as it sounds. Buuuut I'm getting in shape, and it's kept us both out of trouble - for the most part. We talk about how awkward we feel about actually talking about working out lol, but it's actually been one of the hardest and most satisfying things I've done. I'm 43 and can keep up with my toddler - mission fucking accomplished! Dig in folks! & shout out to publican for the deeeelicious beer and popcorn!!!

Recently donating over 500 candy boxes to first responders, and front line workers Lisa is passionate about giving back to the community that has built her up. It was a great catching up and next time it'll be in the studio with a delicious Publican brew! DIG IN folks!…
