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.

Katie Clark - Happy Anniversary, Covid | WM EP4 33:53

Exactly one year ago today, March 14, 2020, national emergencies and strict travel measures were declared across the globe because of the outbreak of the coronavirus. North Carolina schools were closed. Life seemed to pause. That pause that we naively thought would only last two weeks has now hit its 365th day. So, to commemorate everything we have all gone through, I talk with Katie Clark about the effects of a year in isolation. In this episode, Katie discusses how quarantine has changed her fundamentally...for the better and the worse. Follow Katie on Instagram @k.e.clark and read her column here .
