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.

The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren! THEY NEVER LET US DOWN! We were so thrilled with this story. It was deep. It was adorable. It was funny. It was sweet. UGH it was perfect! Yes it's a trope we've all seen before, and we've seen it done well, but this was a fresh take on the fake dating trope and something all it's own. We loved these characters, and 10/10 would recommend. Would've read 27 more chapters of this story had it existed.

A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle Jensen was so worth the hype that it got when it was released!! We only wish we had read it sooner! Except now we have to wait until the spring of 2025 to continue our journey with Freya and Bjorn....we can't wait to continue The Saga of the Unfated!

What's a Group of Crows Called? 33:36

hace 41 weeks33:36

33:36

Looking back on it, out of context saying I want to be part of a murder probably wasn't a wise statement, but when we're discussing a murder of crows I stand by it. We read Weyward by Emilia Hart and only grew our desire to make sky puppy friends. This one was truly stunning. Hauntingly beautiful. The way the stories of these women were laid out and intertwined was just flawless. We loved it. This one will stick with us for a long time to come! Let's talk witches, and revenge, and murders. email us recs or witch cottage ideas at Ashandsarahreadandramble@gmail.com !! Insta/Tiktok @Ashandsarahreadandramble…

The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins: This one was absolutely nothing like we expected! Mostly because we had no idea what we expected..but it was a solid read. Love or hate Ruby McTavish, we had so much to unfold and discuss afterward and we deem that a success. Also, listen to us ramble about our book collections at the end and check out the TikTok/Instagram for the video of the ToG unboxing we mention this episode @Ashandsarahreadandramble!…

Why yes, that title is a low-key Hangover reference and if that was your first thought we are technically best friends now! We are back, we are getting Doug back and we're the three best friends that anybody could have. No really, we are back with the newest from Abby Jimenez, TTPD, The Spice Girls, and Acotar thrown in for fun because when are we not talking about those things anyway?

This book was incredible. This is the side of the story that needs to be illuminated and it was done absolutely GORGEOUSLY by Jessica Knoll.

All the Little Raindrops by Mia Sheridan First of all there are many *trigger warnings* for this book- we share them in the beginning of the episode but also listed below: Abduction, trafficking, confinement, sexual assault, torture, fire/fire injury. gratuitous violence. This one was a lot...and as the title states it was not for us, but join us as we get into the why of it all.

The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader is our second five star read for March so far! This was a phenomenal story of friendship, love, sisterhood, loss. It was absolutely beautiful in every way and the only way we could've followed up The Women. In our eyes, they're basically a set.

The Good Part by Sophie Cousens!!! Again, another romance we just adored! Every page of this book is the good part, and we were just blown away again by Sophie!
