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.

Welcome back! Today we begin to wrap up our series from the last few weeks with a great discussion on the nature of the church through Christ. A few highlights include:

Unification
"It's easy to love humanity in the abstract"
Love having a unitive element to it
How we become instruments of the body of Christ
How Christ has no body on earth but ours
Our eyes are those that He looks compassionately on the world
AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The uniquenes of the human person
- What machines can't do

Questions or comments about the show? Click here! Welcome to a new series on Christian Anthropology! Today kids off the series with some discussion on what a human being is from a Christian perspective. And see the notes below from Father Dave on some explanation of what's in today's episode. CONTEXT: Vatican II (1962-1965) In his first papal encyclical Redeemer of Man (Latin: Redemptor Hominis), JPII emphasizes the great achievement of Vatican II's Pastoral Constitution in the Modern World (Latin: Gaudium et Spes ). A tireless champion for advancing the religious freedom of all people, JPII also was a crucial supporter of Vatican II's Declaration on Religious Freedom (Latin: Dignitatis Humanae ), arguing that the Church could not insist on its own freedom from Communist oppression unless it extended full religious freedom to non-Catholics in staunchly Catholic countries such as Spain, Portugal and Ireland. VATICAN II [Also, Second Vatican Council: 1962-1965] Vatican II was the 21st ecumenical council to be convened in the Church's bimillennial history, and gathered nearly a century after Pope Pius IX convoked Vatican I (1869-70). It was the Spirit-driven response of Pope Saint John XXIII to what he viewed as the alarming spiritual impoverishment of modern society resulting from the deep social and political transformations, which according to John XXII, demanded a new response from the Church. Unlike previous ecumenical councils, this response of the Church would not be an issuing of condemnations but rather a hopeful and positive elucidation of the Catholic Faith designed to persuade and inspire Catholics and non-Catholics alike to encounter Christ Jesus as Lord, Savior and King. Throughout Vatican II, 16 authoritative documents are promulgated addressing a wide variety of matters both within the Church as well as the Church's proper place in the world. ENCYCLICAL An encyclical is a papal "pastoral letter." Typically addressing matters of faith or morals, encyclicals are issued to offer greater understanding and practice of the Catholic Faith.
