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.

After finding himself laid off due to COVID in early 2020, Matt Harmon decided to pursue his love for pairing his favorite wines with food and began his own wine company. After entering the industry and spending a lot of time at local wineries, he noticed that something was missing in the environment. People who looked like him. Matt has approached the industry with a fresh outlook in which he hopes to make the wine industry less intimidating and more inclusive to everyone. And from his dream, Harmony Wine was born. And so, however you drink, drink in Harmony.

A Conversation about DEI with Ikimi Dubose Woodson of The Roots Fund 50:44

hace 6 días50:44

50:44

In this powerful and timely episode of Swirl Suite, we sit down with Ikimi Dubose Woodson , co-founder and executive director of The Roots Fund , to have a candid conversation about the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the wine industry. With increasing backlash and companies pulling back on DEI initiatives, we ask the tough question Is DEI dead? Ikimi shares how these shifts are directly impacting The Roots Fund and the vital work they do to support and uplift BIPOC talent in wine. We also dig into how the broader wine industry is responding (or failing to respond) to the changing tides, and what this all means for the future of equitable access and representation in wine. This is an unfiltered discussion about accountability, real change, and what happens when companies use DEI as a buzzword instead of a commitment.
