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.

While distracted by side boob and peek-a-boo butt cheek on yet another paradise planet, young Wesley accidentally breaks a law and is to be put to death. Lawyer Picard must argue with a less developed species for his freedom. Is ignorance of the law a valid defense? Why didn't the Prime Directive stop us from visiting this planet in the first place? Isn't the injustice that we don't just provide care to all people as a right and not that Mario's brother was radicalized by dealing with the US heath "care" system to the point where he shot a healthcare exec?
