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.

It's happening folks - we've long spoken of Allie's obsession with the long running TLC masterpiece, but today you're hearing it right from the horses mouth: we're talking about Sister Wives. For the blessedly uninitiated, Sister Wives is a reality television series based around the Polygamist Brown family, with Husband Kody and Wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. I don't think anyone would call it a "good show" but that's not why we watch it, right? Say your prayers, Horror Honeys! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Episode 146: The Zootopia Abortion Comic 1:01:35

1:01:35

This is the worst thing we've ever done, and frankly, we're so sorry. This week Sam unleashes hell on earth by bringing you the strangest and most tonally dissonant fanfiction comic ever spawned by the internet (well... I guess we can't say that for certain, but it's up there). Why would someone make this? Why would we take an hour of our precious lives to read it? We're just as confused as you are, Horror Honeys. CW: While it is beyond absurd that someone made a Zootopia fanfiction comic which centers around the topic of abortion, they did, and that is genuinely what we will be discussing today. We're poking fun at the fact that this exists, not the subject itself, however if this is a sensitive topic for you please refrain from listening and we'll see you next week!
