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.

The Fear Of "Private" As It Pertains To Health Care - It's Your Call Jan 17, 2023 35:27

2 years назад35:27

35:27

Ontario's Premier is set to announce approval for some privately owned clinics to begin offering surgeries for things like hips, knees, cataracts... The idea being to take some of the burden off of our existing health care infrastructure. No Ontario citizen would pay for this care. The province would, just as they do now. Yet, countless people hear "private" or "for profit" and insist that this must not happen here. I disagree. We discuss. It's YOUR Call. www.itsyourcall.ca…

No LRT For 6 Days - Silence From City Hall - It's Your Call Jan 11, 2023 36:11

Snow and ice were "too much for us to handle" says OC Transpo's GM. As the public service gets set to return to downtown after an absence of two years, our LRT has been broken down for six days and almost exclusively, no elected official in Ottawa has taken to social media to address it. Today I ask, just what does it take to piss you off citizens of Ottawa? Do you not expect more from council? The mayor? Even after just two months on the job? I do. But... It's your call. www.itsyourcall.com…

Vaccine Conspiracies Have No Place Here - It's Your Call Jan 3, 2023 34:22

Within moments of news breaking that Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin was administered CPR during Monday night’s game, the messages on social media quickly assumed that his situation was due to Covid vaccines. It had EVERYTHING to do with blunt force trauma from another player’s helmet hitting him square in the chest at 30 mph. But some just can't accept that and HAVE to blame it on vaccines. We discuss how we’re each managing those types of posts on our social media feeds. And… and OPP officer killed in the line of duty. Ambushed by two convicted criminals, both out on bail, both with warrants, and one with an illegally obtained firearm. We want to know what you are doing to insists on changes that impact those who use illegal weapons instead of laws that impact those who acquire weapons legally and for zero ill intent.

$80 To Sit On Santa's Lap? I Know Strippers Who Charge Less 34:13

Today I found out that some malls are charging as much as $80.00 for your kids to see Santa. While I understand the expenses involved, and, as a photographer myself, I don't begrudge anyone taking Santa photos an opportunity to make money, is a visit to Santa not a "loss leader" for the mall? How in the world can a family who are down on their luck afford that? Also... Why is there an option to visit the Grinch? And just what the hell is a Spooky Santa? I'm upset. What about you?

The rumour is out there... That public service workers may be told to return to the office, at least for part of the week.
