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.

Part 2 is a deeper examination of the issues we discussed in part 1. Your Being is pure Radiant Light just as powerful as any guru. Why doesn't it feel that way? Most of us have taken a vast portion of our light and siphoned it off by creating repressed problems, attitudes, and delusions. We are Awareness and all Awareness is love, peace, and joy. Just as we can freeze life giving water into a destructive shape such as a frozen ice knife, we can freeze Awareness into problems. How? We focus our destructive attitudes into free flowing Awareness and freeze it into an thought emotion object that hurts us and others. Ice melts when it emits its cold. A psychological object melts when it emits it's attitude. These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

139 Intensity Without the Attitude is Your Awakened Radiance 24:33

rok temu24:33

We have all experienced intensity. Unfortunately, often times it is because of layers of stress, problems, and difficulties. Yet it is that same intensity that is the intensity of Love, Peace, and Joy in Awakening....in experiencing our true Selves. There is only one intensity. Consciousness is like life giving water. It can be frozen into sharp edges such as an ice knife that can hurt. When it melts back into the healing flow of water it gives life. Likewise, Intensity without the attitude is Awakened Radiance flowing with its qualities of peace, love, joy and happiness. The overwhelming intensity one feels emanating through an awakened Being is the same intensity that we feel. Its just that ours is often twisted with an attitude of stress and theirs is not. Our spiritual practices are ways to let our maladaptive attitudes go. We keep the intensity and radiance and let the attitude go as we awaken. This podcast details deep letting go which is not recommended until you are ready. Our spiritual practices help us let go a little at a time in manageable ways. These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.
