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.

Tears and blood are shed as Sammy does what he does best. Conquer or Destroy. That guy is such a dick. Will the F.U.C.Ks be able to save their hometown & people they love? Will they even survive this fight? Will Mogwai woo the fair Mary? It is time to die or get laid! Maybe both. Either way, this situation is very CAULIFLOWER!

Meanwhile, Rufus returns with info about this so called "Sammy Realm Destroyer", and sheds some light on his true identity. Afterwards, Rufus, Sanguine and Mogwai discuss...contingencies. Sanguine plots ways to ensure the safety of herself and her loved ones. Mogwai tries one last time to open the door to Mary's heart, and finds a window. Daisy basks in the glow of his public, weighs the disastrous options presented to him, and has some Father Son "Bonding" with Bandon. Stay Tuned till the end of the episode for our special Epilogues!
