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.

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast we have the pleasure of speaking with Rob Read from CPWF UK and Captain Paul Watson. Rob and Paul talk about the urgent need to stop Kristján Loftsson from killing more endangered fin whales this year. While Loftsson still needs to secure a permit from the Icelandic government to kill whales, Rob and Paul point out that Loftsson's immense wealth and political power often means that he gets what he wants. Unfortunately the one thing Kristján Loftsson wants is to cruelly harpoon fin whales so he can sell the meat to Japan. Fin whales are the second largest mammal on earth and are key contributors to our global ecosystems. We need to save every fin whale we can! Rob and Paul also make the announcement of Operation Ice Storm - which is the CPWF's new campaign to make sure no fin whales are murdered.

In this episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we catch up with Captain Locky MacLean. Locky gives us an update on Paul's quest for freedom. Unfortunately at the last hearing on August 15th, the judge in Greenland chose to keep Paul in detention longer while the Danish Minister of Justice considers Japan's extradition request. Locky makes the point that while Paul sits in a prison in Nuuk, Greenland, the Japanese whalers are out in the Pacific ocean killing fin whales and searching for new waters to kill more. We need to get Paul freed so that he and his crew can stop Japan from killing more whales. Support the show https://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/ https://shop.paulwatson.com/…
