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.

Join Brooke Moreland, as we step into the mystifying world of Coral Castle, Florida’s most perplexing monument, on this week’s episode of Dark Florida . Built entirely by one man, Ed Leedskalnin, this structure defies gravity, engineering, and all logical explanation. How did a man with no modern tools move and position massive coral stones, some weighing up to 30 tons? Is it a haunting tribute to love? Was it aliens? Lost ancient technology? Or just limestone? We’ll delve into Ed’s obsession with ancient Egypt, his theories about magnetic forces, leylines, and the possibility of hidden Earth energy at play. Could he have uncovered secrets lost to time, or is there another explanation waiting to be uncovered? 💌 Have a strange story, theory, or want to be on the show? I'd love to hear from you!
