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.

4 дня назад23:37

23:37

I remember hearing about cremation by water a few years ago and dismissing the idea. After talking to Founder Phillip Flores Jr, I am not sure I will ever do a fire cremation. Knowledge is power and Phillip does a great job of telling us why water cremation is kinder and greener. For more: https://www.petcremationbywater.com/…

A few weeks ago, my jaw dropped as a drone operator zeroed in on a lost dog. The drone targeted an area where no one could get to during the search. It was incredible! I reached out to Mike Smith of Smithic Air and he agreed to come chat with me about the work he does with lost pets and beyond. As technology advances, so does the way we are able to search for lost animals and humans. An INCREDIBLE podcast with so much great knowledge.

One of the questions that I get asked the most is, "do you now somewhere that will take a pet for a few weeks while the owner gets back on their feet?" Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering in Utah does JUST that. With times really tough, especially the last few years, this organization has changed so many lives. Pets belong with their owner. Kristina is a wonderful guest! For more: https://www.ruffhaven.org/…

"The less human interaction with the animals, the more neglect. The more human interaction, the more violence. At livestock auctions there is constant interaction, so there is constant violence." Pete and Cailen, from SEED ( Strategies for Ethical and Environmental Development) give us the latest on livestock auction investigations and it is SHOCKING and appalling.

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Pete on Puppy Mills 31:46

"They will have puppies in the back and wiping the snot off their nose and get them out the door." The best way to get to the puppy mill and puppy store problem is to SEE what is going on that is hidden behind closed doors. It is atrocious and inhumane. Thanks to investigators like Pete, slowly but surely, puppy mills are running into more and more laws and crackdowns that impede the work that they do. But they need our help. Knowledge is power. Pete has SO much knowledge because he has seen so much--he has been to over 1000 puppy mills! This is a must-watch/must-listen.

I met Alicia many years ago and we did a lot of cool work in the rescue community, including a calendar with some big name Chicago athletes and quite the opposite --sitting in the chilly weather on a diversion shift at Chicago Animal Care and Control. Now, Alicia has moved back to her hometown where she is making an impact with a children's book, as well as a new brand called The Lake Dog. I LOVE SMALL BUSINESSES! This is a great podcast!

Sometimes getting a shelter/rescue dog into a new environment can get them the exposure they need. Whether it is humans on the street or social media posts showing them in a new light, Scott from 4 Ever Tails is trying to do everything he can to get dogs that need homes into a comfortable landing spot! And it is working. He will never take credit, but with unique videos and "dog dates," he is able to see fruits of his labor. Of course, he also credits the people working in rescue and shelters.
