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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

Spoiler alert from Alex and Angela: he is a "big bald brother man" and she's a "cute little white girl"! Alex and Angela Bryant's family went viral a few years ago with a video they filmed in response to racial tensions following the shooting of multiple Dallas police officers. Since then, the Bryants' ministry has garnered a widespread following for their efforts to bridge the gap between races and generations. Their heart for sharing the unrestrained, undeserved, never-discriminating love of Christ with others is apparent in everything they say, and their thoughts on becoming a "student of others" is so valuable for anyone looking to develop a group ministry.…

Dr. Jim Bradford: Mission Critical 26:08

26:08

While attending the University of Minnesota, Jim Bradford was called on to lead a small group of students in a weekly bible study. After initial difficulty and near failure, this small group began to grow. By the time Jim was set to defend his doctoral thesis, he felt increasingly drawn to full-time pastoral ministry. Armed with a bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, a master’s degree and Phd in Aerospace Engineering, Jim bypassed a career at NASA in favor of the opportunity to pursue God’s call on his life into vocational ministry. What started as a small bible study at the University of Minnesota had grown into a full-fledged congregation of young believers. Today, Pastor Jim shares lessons and insight learned from years of leading ministry and fostering community in the local church.…
