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.

When we saw that Shogun was the most nominated show at this year's Emmys, we figured we had to know what they hype was about. This episode was recorded before the awards, but we were rooting for them to win every single one.

If you have spent any amount of time with Nicole and me, I'm pretty sure you know that we love Jane Austen. If you are just stumbling across Snark Squad for the very first time, hello! My name is Marines, and my best friend Nicole and I love Jane Austen. This is our third entry into our larger Jane Austen mini-project, in which we discuss the novel and its various adaptations. We did Pride and Prejudice ( my favorite ) and Emma ( Nicole's favorite ), and next, we took on Persuasion . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Our very occasional podcast returns with an episode we recorded last summer. Time is fake! Fortunately, our dear friends Sam & Jessica have accepted our invitation into DCEU purgatory and now there's no going back for them or us. But this movie was very popular & now you can find out if we agreed with last summer's general consensus.

Things we love: book adaptations & pretending time has no meaning. We were not big fans of the grisha books (neither Mari nor Nicole managed to read all 5 that this show is based on) but we wanted to talk about this show anyway, so we asked two of our good friends who *are* fans to come chat about it with us.
