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.

This is a long one, so get some tea (or something stronger) and settle in.

There is A LOT of thirsting in this episode, curtesy of more Corinthian screentime, there are quite a few disagreements about various character motivations, there are some funny misunderstandings, there is the usual amount of debating incredibly important sidenotes and after a long time we finally have some language lessons again!

And while this might seem long, there was so much more, so if some bits seem a tiny bit cut off, we do apologize. If you want to know what bits we took out, check out the bonus for this episode!

The finale is not that far off anymore, so if you have want to share your thoughts with us, please send us an email to sandman@taot-podcast.com

WE ARE BACK! The absolute wreck of life has crashed into us in full force, but we have finally sat down to talk about season 1 of Dirk Gently. As per usual, this is a chunky episode, with all our classics (favourite/least favourite character), and new things (predictions, predictions), and at one point we watch some bonus materials, discovered on YouTube, so there are some silences there, if you want to watch along, links to those are below.

Action-packed episode brings disagreements apparently! Though we both had a great time watching the episode itself, it turned out, we have watched a sligtly different thing. Lina focused on new information, while Vero reveled in trying to read old scenes through new eyes. But it wouldn't be us, if we didn't make the best of it, and Lina didn't grill Vero on some fun predictions, so have fun, and don't forget, if you ever have anything to add, please reach out to us at dirkgently@taot-podcast.com .

This is a junky one because for the first time this season, we are actually disagreeing on things! And if you listened to our older stuff, you know what that means - lengthy debates... But also there is a lot happening in this episode, many questions are raised, Vero draws some curious conclusions that Lina tries very hard to not comment too obviously on, and a lot of direct lines are quoted because awesomeness. The end of the season (and the year) is approaching, so if you want to give us some commentary, feedback, thoughts, anything, send your emails to dirkgently@taot-podcast.com .

In episode 5, we get to at least briefly hang out with all of our characters, and especially Amanda with the Rowdy 3 are making Lina very happy. There is some general disagreement about Friedkin, but mostly this was a very chill and fun episode. Disclaimer, we are convinced, that this tv show is happening in California, so please don't yell at us for being so shocked, that Bart is in Seattle.

With the first half of the season done, Vero is finally able to answer Elijah Wood's question from MagicCon but still juggles so many other questions. Lina laments the absense of Bart but instead focuses her appreciation on Amanda and the Rowdy 3.

WE ARE BACK! After some much needed rest, we are back with vengance AND a new show. We are diving into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, produced by Netflix in 2016! And because we are still us, this episode will be extremely chunky, because there is much to be discused and introduced. Prepare for new segments, loads of freeze framing and many theories based on Vero's 6 episode binge in the middle of the night, many months ago. Throwing ourselves into a new project brings us a lot of joy, so we hope you like what you hear! And if you have anything to add, please reach out to us at dirkgently@taot-podcast.com .

It is time to finish the extra episode for this season, with "Calliope" and oh myyy we enjoyed this. Join us with a bit of all the emotions, as we agree on many things, except the thirst moment obviously, or certain ways to read a scene, but all in all this was a joy to record. What an amazing end to this season. But it is not the end for our season, next up is the Summoning episode and so do send us your feedback either using the email sandman@taot-podcast.com or either of our social media accounts: Twitter: https://twitter.com/theappleoftruth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Support The Apple of Truth: Dirk Gently Podcast…

Be aware: This is only the first part of the bonus episode of season 1, Calliope will be released in two weeks. This will probably also feel quite a bit different than the previous 10 episodes. We started this episode with very different thoughts and feelings but while talking about it, we came to see more and more parallels and metaphors in this and if we had taken them out, the actual coverage would feel incredibly disjointed. So join us for this hour and see how we manage to bring voice blindness, cat and dog people, musicals and audioplays, communism and StarTrek into this episode. If you enjoy this slightly different vibe, please do let us know!

IT'S FINALE TIME! Strap in, it's a long one! In this episode, we mostly actually agree on things, which was a welcomed surprised, but it also comes to show how well the season ended up working. We debate Dream's development in length, Lina cries over the Corinthian and Vero blows Lina's mind on several occasions. Most importantly, we add many new questions to our ever-growing list. If you, too, would like to add things, thoughts or essays to our podcast, now is your opportunity! We will be recording a Summoning episode, in which we'll talk about the season as a whole, bringing your feedback on board. Please send everything to sandman@taot-podcast.com . We are extending your deadline to 10th July!
