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.

A reunion (of sorts) with Tom DiLorenzo, newly installed President of the Mises Institute . If you always believed Economics was the “dismal science,” you’re in for a necessary and pleasant surprise. Understanding America’s tenuous financial and economic state of affairs was never more important. When you’re $35 trillion in debt, you better be paying attention—with comprehension and solid information. Tom gives a perfect overview of the Mises Institute, economics, and why both are vitally important to us right now. Below are links to the books and authors we discussed. Economics in One Lesson (Henry Hazlitt) What Has the Government Done to Our Money – (Murray Rothbard - FREE!) The Law – (Frederick Bastiat) How Capitalism Saved America (Tom DiLorenzo) Road to Serfdom (F.A. Hayek) The Politically Incorrect Guide to Economics (Tom DiLorenzo) Thomas DiLorenzo is president of the Mises Institute . He is a former professor of economics at Loyola University Maryland and a longtime member of the senior faculty of the Mises Institute. He is the author or co-author of eighteen books including The Real Lincoln ; How Capitalism Saved America ; Lincoln Unmasked ; Hamilton’s Curse ; Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government ; The Problem with Socialism ; and The Politically-Incorrect Guide to Economics .
