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.

Chapter 14 of The Underground , part 17 of Animorphs Aloud , a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I was going to be so productive this weekend, and then my body had the audacity to go and catch norovirus! -_- Don't get norovirus, it sucks . Also, Cassie says in this chapter that she thinks moles don't bite. 10-year-old me can categorically assure you that is NOT the case. A scared little mole will definitely bite your finger! I don't know how likely it is that one would get rabies or some other infection from a mole bite, but luckily for me, I didn't, cause I wouldn't have known to mention it. Thanks for listening!…
