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.

Play is transformative. And it's essential for our personal and professional growth that we take regular breaks to play. I know from personal experience that when I incorporated more play and whitespace into my life, my business increased exponentially. I had more “million dollar” ideas, bigger business growth, came up with better strategies, strengthened my relationships, and found a deeper connection with myself. On today's episode of the Run Like Clockwork podcast, I'm joined by Shannon Claire, an international branding photographer who has worked with entrepreneurs all over the globe, creating unforgettable brands and marketing campaigns that *actually* get attention. We discuss: how playfulness fosters creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. the misconception that constant work will lead to success why breaks are essential for sustainable growth why capturing transformational experiences makes for the best photos PLUS, we announce that Shannon will be offering a limited number of mini-branding shoots while at camp! It is normally thousands of dollars to work with her, but for Camp Clockwork, you have the opportunity to get in front of her lens for a whopping 3 figure investment!
