The continuing problem with Apu

Montucky Skies

1:14:43

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.

Check out A Cosmic Void!

Subscribe now to the new podcast, A Cosmic Void starring Alex Biggs Small and Jeremiah Perez! Here's a taste of one episode, there's more on the feed and many more to come. This episode is about the Alex Garland instant classic: Ex Machina. We dissect the movie going scene by scene uncovering the themes that run beneath. We discuss the feminist reading of this movie, the allusions to literature and history, and discuss the slightly ahead of it's time presentation of the danger of data mining. And of course we list movies that informed it, as well as movies influenced by it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!…
