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 week on the podcast we come up with WAY cooler ways to celebrate birthday’s as an adult like renting a horse or having a doctor fix your aging body for one low cost, or maybe having a man treat whales very poorly just for the birthday boy! Next, we figure out the best possible way to get a someone to stop talking to you during a flight. I don’t want to talk OK? Stop trying! Based on our listener submitted topics, we figure out who on the podcast is the most psychopathic. It’s Tyler, but we still consider the others! Lastly, we get a new episode of Missed Connections!

Well... here we are. End of the line. The final episode of Baseless Claims. We kick off the show helping Tyler get revenge on his neighbor who mowed his lawn without asking. Next, it's time to slice into not one, but TWO new Sword Watch™ stories! It doesn't end there as we improv a brand new hit movie with the final Spin Me A Tale of Baseless Claims history. Feeling like we aren't including our fans in this episode? Not so fast, because we collected big stack of questions from our listeners and rapid-fire our way through them all! What could top that? How about a THIRD and final Sword Watch™?! But the end is near. It's time for a eulogy for our silly little show. So Tyler has created Mad Libs for us to write the grand send-off! And, FINALLY, we get to hear from you. Our fantastic listeners give all three of us a beautiful and hilarious goodbye message. To everyone who listened to the show, everyone who wrote in questions, everyone who yes-anded us in the Discord, and anyone who got a small chuckle from our dumb podcast - Thank you for listening.

This week's podcast brings some bittersweet news as we announce that Baseless Claims is going to come to an end with next week being the final episode of the show. Look, Tyler ran completely out of jokes. There is no way to continue! On the brighter side, we do still have a funny episode in store discussing Jeff Dunham's puppet craftsman, if cooking content creators should make you watch them eat food, we look into a disgusting product review, and we get into a deeply heated fight during a new Wikipedia Game Show installment! To end the show we answer some audience questions that, oddly, what to know what we would do if we had to pee extremely bad while stuck in traffic and what/who we would bring from the past into the future! You have one last chance to send us questions for the final episode of Baseless Claims, so drop them in the comments or over on our Discord!
