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.

Some thoughts are nice, some thoughts are not so nice, and some thoughts dwell on the troubling reality that extraterrestrials might be real—"real" in the sense that the ideas of them exist and that those ideas might be used to confuse the public, which wouldn't be very nice.

MarketLook is your guide to the ups and downs of economics. Hosted by Stephen Zaddy, each episode takes an in-depth look at how our volatile economy is affecting everybody from the ultra-wealthy to the working stiffs. Plus, we take a look at how all the markets are performing today. On this episode, Stephen takes a closer look at how the ongoing landlord strike is affecting the rental market. How are renters reacting to simple fact that they don't have to pay rent while their landlords and building managers are refusing to work. This WLHR podcast was written by Anna Rubanova and performed by Adam Bozarth. Featuring Matt Catanzano (Host of Protected Under Parody at the L.A. Alamo Drafthouse, Deep Cutz on YouTube , @matt_catanzano on TikTok ), Sebastian Deken (author of Final Fantasy VI from Boss Fight Books ), and Brett White ( @brettwhite , @deciderdotcom , @barbhardly , @musthaveseentv ).
