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.

Plus, Ruth Gordon in her best role ever. Everyone deserves a Maude in their life.

Editing the Academy: 2025 Best Picture Nominees 44:06

3天之前44:06

44:06

Darryl and Laura are posting a special episode just in time for the Academy Awards on March 2! A few caveats: we were not able to see all of the movies (mostly because we decided to do this episode two weeks ago), but Darryl saw 8 and Laura saw 6, so not too shabby! Also, we tried not to spoil, but couldn't get through the discussions without revealing a few major plot points, so know that going in. In the end, we agreed on the movie that we think WILL win, but disagreed on the movie we think SHOULD win. Let us know your thoughts!…

In this episode we discuss the Best Picture nominees of 1988 (released in 1987): are: Broadcast News Fatal Attraction Hope and Glory The Last Emperor Moonstruck Major Spoilers for all! An apology to all of our many listeners: Sorry folks! I should have posted the latest Editing the Academy podcast on Monday, but I edited the wrong year which led to the original audio being deleted. Darryl fixed the audio by ripping it from the video version. As a result: I am now contractually required to refer to Darryl as “The Man!” for resolving the issue; and It reminded me to promote our YouTube channel where you can watch us record the podcast.
