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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

Will America hold Trump & his enablers accountable for 400,000 unnecessary deaths? Is this manslaughter, now that Trump brags that he actively ignored the scientific advice? Prof. Richard Wolff is here on rising food prices and the impact on global unrest. If prices continue to rise — on top of the pain of the pandemic — the world could be in for a bumpy future. Plus - Vaccine Passports? Let's just call them "right to life" or "freedom" passports! What red blooded, Nazi-arm-band-wearing, Confederate-flag-waving, Capitol-invading, gun-toting American patriot could possibly object?

Coming Up on The Science Revolution this week is Thom and Dr. Michael Mann on our fossil fuel addiction & how it's leading to “Bomb Cyclones” & Famines. If this week’s wild weather is a forecast of what’s to come, we need to get our carbon emissions under control quickly. As the Jet Stream to our north, and the Gulf Stream to our east continue to wobble and weaken, weather patterns that enable us to predictably grow food and maintain a habitable lifestyle are collapsing. This severe winter weather is a warning and will become civilization-threatening, and eventually could bring down the human species overall. The crisis is now. Stay tuned.
