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.

This time we delve into a story of lizard people that would make David Icke jealous, as we cover The Mighty Thor #212!

You might think we're talking illuminati conspiracies, but all I can say to that is... "Close, but no Sssthgar!"

This week we celebrate our 10th anniversary, and wrap up this chapter of my life with a nice tidy bow. I talk about the past, the present and hint at future doings! We also have a review, covering what I believe to be the very earliest comic story featuring Thor, from waaay back in 1940! Thanks very much for your support over the past decade's worth of shows, and I'll see you around! (Much like Loki, I'm not gotten rid of so easily!)…
