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.

Do You See Through the Lens of Process? 23:21

πριν 7 years23:21

23:21

When things go wrong at work, what do we tend to do? Blame someone. That’s what the bad leader does, anyway. The good leader asks, “What’s going on here that allowed failure to happen? Are we setting people up for success? Does my team have the right resources, support, training, and processes ? And are we consulting with the people who are actually doing the work?” The post Do You See Through the Lens of Process? appeared first on The Boss Show .…

Macaroni and Cheese: a Metaphor 22:44

Ever made macaroni and cheese? You know a good recipe helps. And using that recipe as a foundation, but exercising creativity on top of it, is the key to success. The workplace isn’t much different from macaroni and cheese. So if you want to have influence – want to be a leader – you have to care about processes .

Last week, Steve & Jim explored how “ego” is the #1 obstacle to success and satisfaction in the workplace. This week: what does a “beyond ego” workplace look like?

Leading Beyond Ego 23:04

Ego. As in “his enormous ego” or “her fragile ego.” As in, “She’s a control freak” or “I’m afraid to talk to my boss.” Ego – the #1 obstacle to success and satisfaction in the workplace. You can’t eradicate it, since it exists for a critical purpose – self-protection. But when old ego strategies have outlived their usefulness, but are still conditioned into our workplace behavior, we CAN choose differently … The post Leading Beyond Ego appeared first on The Boss Show .…

How Accountable Are You? (2 of 2) 22:27

πριν 7 years22:27

22:27

In the 2nd of two parts, Jim & Steve lay out “The Contract” – their model that defines what to pay attention to in order to increase accountability in your team or organization. And remember, “accountability” is simply about doing what you say you’re going to do. If you’re not maximizing your accountability, why even do what you’re doing? The post How Accountable Are You?

Accountability. Getting done what you say you’re going to do. To truly live up to your potential, you have to maximize your accountability. But how? It’s a process. It can be taught. And it builds on a foundation that Jim & Steve lay out in the first of a two-parter on building high accountability employees, teams, and organizations. The post How Accountable Are You?
