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.

Hey gang, we are back with another new episode, two in two weeks - what's going on? Well as we said, we are back on a regular schedule. On this one, the 3 of us sit down to talk the new Hellboy film.... well sort of.

Hey gang, we are back, all 3 of us, for the first time in a long time. On this one we all sit down and discuss the new Clint Eastwood film - Juror #2. Does Clint, who is now in his nineties, still have that Eastwood touch? Well the only way you are gonna know, is to listen on and find out. Whilst this is only an hour or so long, we are getting our footing again, or in layman's terms - we are rusty AF We also address why the heck we have been missing so long, and why 2024 was a year to forget in the history of the MMC. Oh and there are some tangents in there too - we gotta have them tangents. Enjoy.…

Hey guys, Stu here. To ring in 2025, I have a bunch of bands - I dare say you have never heard - to ring your ears. On this episode, I highlight a bunch of bands that released, pretty much one or two pieces of platter.... and then disappeared. Some of the bands are new and up and coming, but the majority are now considered, lost to the annals of time. Over the last 18 months or so, I have become, pretty much obsessed with lost media, so ladies and gentlemen, here is a primer of 10 bands, of stuff you need to hear.

John and Hunter are joined by Garo as they cover John Woo's remake of his own classic, "The Killer." Was this a bad idea? You probably know the answer already, but we discuss it anyway. We also discuss the ups and downs of Woo's career, his forgotten comedies, and why recapturing those glory days in Hong Kong is always out of reach.…

Auxillary cowboy Eric Zaldivar has seen Kevin Costner's 3 hour but still incomplete epic in the theater. Midnight Movie Cowboy, John, has not. See if the latter can guess what goes on in the movie event of the summer without having seen a frame of it in this mini episode (which is considerably shorter than HORIZON). Enjoy…

Nintendo 64 Memories 1:44:25

1:44:25

Awhile ago, Hunter sat down with fellow millennials Eric Zaldivar and Zolly Becker for an episode looking back on the defining video game console of the 90s, the Nintendo 64. We look back at what made it special and unique, things about it that are criticized and/or misunderstood, and generally other things that the gen x and boomer types on the show just couldn't relate to, with their music that sounds like da Ramones and disco movies. This episode was recorded a few months back, so some references may be dated.…

Steve reveals the shocking truth behind the scenes with exclusive stories about this long-in-the-making feature.
