Episode 28: The Wrath of Dark Fendrick

Bad Melee Podcast

1:14:43

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.

2:40:30

We're back with a lil' ol special episode of the Bad Melee Podcast recapping the Roast of Hugo Gonzalez. Each person on the cast had a very different role in the event, with everyone pressing the heads of their penises together to make a giant roast Megazord. We go through the writing process, wax philosophical on the concept of accreditation, talk about a few hiccups with the tournament, and if we really are in the era of too much Ludwig.…

Welcome to the second annual post-Bigger Balcony podcast. A bit of a departure from last year as nobody almost got into a fistfight at the venue and Ludwig was not present to show his nutsack during mafia, this year's Project M tournament still left us with plenty to discuss. With several actors as Balcy the Bro Sun, PM being streamed on Twitch with seemingly no repercussions, a hentai connoisseur taking the title yet again, and our dear friend Guntherz getting cheated out of win, the illegal tournament once again forged memories of friendship and strife that we will carry to our graves.…

Special circumstances have led a very sorry individual to our podcast, where he takes us through his life's journey leading him to place 5th at Summit of Power, as well as describes in great detail the story of how he was DQ'd from EVO Top 8. We finally pinpoint which Seinfeld characters each member of the podcast is, with some startling revelations about who is and isn't Newman, and talk about the mechanics and implications of the new SmUsh game. After attending E3, only one questions remains: Are we truly gamers that have lost our way, or is it kids who are wrong?…
