1:14:43

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.

Have you ever woken up one morning, looked in the mirror, and thought, "When did I get old?" You're not alone. Join us, two 40-somethings, in a frank and hilarious discussion about the realities of aging and the trials and tribulations of adulthood. We chat about our changing confidence, life milestones, and even some of our destructive life patterns. Ever wonder why we become more assertive as we age? Is it wisdom or just having less patience for nonsense? We'll share our thoughts on this, as well as how we navigate conflicts and communicate more assertively without bottling up emotions. We'll also share some laughs as we talk about our frustrations with tire replacements, encounters with cyclists, and even our calm and talented vet who might just be a secret serial killer. Wrapping it up, we'll address our anxieties around dressing for social events and the unrealistic standards set by fashion models. We'll vent about our struggles with playing sports and the challenge of finding a balance between being assertive and avoiding conflict. And of course, we'll share our moment of the week and the ups and downs of maintaining coolness as we age. So buckle up and join us on this wild ride through life in our 40s. It's not always pretty, but it's definitely entertaining. Please rate and share this episode if you enjoyed it. This really helps us grow the pod!
