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.

How are you using your business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Mike discuss:

Successfully bridging the worlds between tech, business, and faith.
Building the Kingdom and a burned-down mansion.
Having a faith walk that includes God in your business.
Returning to the true and important messages in the world of the wrong messages on social media.

Key Takeaways:

Follow the favor. Where do you see success in your life? Serve God and His Kingdom there.
The primary way that God designed impact in the world was not through organized religion but through business and entrepreneurship.
The call to ministry does not need to be within the four walls of a church or in a non-profit organization.
Our activities are the outward, visible proof of our faith in Jesus.

"If you can get to a place where you see the business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact, and then allow the business to be used for Kingdom impact, which means you're going to make less money because Jesus is going to make more, what actually happens is that's when you live your best life." — Mike Thakur
