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.

Hackers

1995’s Hackers is a shockingly accurate portrayal of the rollerblading hacker subculture of the time and stars darn near everybody, most notably a skateboarding Fisher Stevens who plays an evil hacker called "The Plague." The film also stars Angelina Jolie in one of her first starring roles, Lorraine Bracco, and the dude who played Sick Boy in Trainspotting. Kevin and Michael discuss the film, the skateboarding, hackers they have known, that moment in early 90s Providence when people would declare "I'm not a raver! I'm a club kid!", and many, many other tangents that are both related and unrelated to this deeply silly movie. Hack the planet, y'all!

Y2K 26:36

Y2K from 2024 is an apocalyptic comedy science fiction horror coming of age film directed by Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney in his directorial debut. It follows a group of high school students who attempt to survive on New Years Eve when the year 2000 comes and all technology comes to life and turns against humanity. It's also got skateboarding! Kevin and Mike didn't like this movie all that much so spend a lot of time talking about skateboarder Eric Koston and his shoe line (which are referenced several times in the film), how much they hate rock music from the 1990s (particularly Limp Biskit), the time Mike gave Limp Biskit frontman Fred Durst a tattoo, and the time Kevin spent NYE 2000 hiding in a bathroom. It's one of those episodes, in other words. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Kevin and Mike are back for 2025 to tackle a movie that's synonymous with skateboard culture - 1990's Pretty Woman! Learn the mysterious identity of the skateboarding teen who appears briefly in the film! Hear how we think the film has held up! Julia Roberts! Richard Gere! Jason Alexander! Opera! Is there anything this movie DOESN'T have? (Aside from a consistent tone, that is.) Find out in the latest pulse-pounding episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE! Hosted on Acast.

Dìdi is a 2024 coming-of-age film, written, directed, and produced by Sean Wang in his directorial debut. The film follows a 13-year-old Taiwanese-American boy as he navigates the challenges of adolescence, his relationship with his mother, and his love of skateboarding. In a departure for movies covered on this podcast, it's really good. Kevin and Mike discuss the film and then go on some weird semi-related tangents around deathbed summons and snack cakes, the Scottish pop band Belle & Sebastian (who are featured on the movie's soundtrack), and their own embarrassing adolescent memories. This episode is messy and all over the place, kind of like how being 13 years old feels like. So yeah, we meant to do that. It's conceptual . Hosted on Acast.

So I Married an Axe Murderer 31:43

1993's So I Married An Axe Murderer finds Mike Myers, hot off the success of the Wayne's World movie, playing a commitment-phobic beat poet who falls head over heels in love with a woman who may or may not have murdered her previous three husbands. There is a profoundly tiny amount of skateboarding in this movie, but that doesn't stop Michael and Kevin from discussing the movie, the career of Myers, the baffling use of an inferior cover version of "There She Goes", beat poetry as a career path and the skateboarding scene in San Francisco, CA (where the film is set.) So break out your most enormous cup of coffee, strike up the jazz band, and let's dig into So I Married An Axe Murderer ! Piper down! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

We're back! 2005's DECK DOGZ is an Australian film about three skateboarding teens who are trying to escape the law, school, parents, their demons and a couple of criminals to realise their burning ambition; to meet world class skating champion, Tony Hawk and compete in his skating competition. We watched the heck out of this terrible movie and also discuss the larger implications of what having Tony Hawk in your skateboarding film meant circa 2005. Our conclusion - go watch BMX BANDITS. At least that movie has a young Nicole Kidman in it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
