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.

In today's episode, Jake and Dave Yapp showcase Outsider Music - that particular body of work which appears to have rejected every musical organ. This doesn't really work as a line. There's something about bodies rejecting organs or something in there somewhere, but, ngl I have had a sherry. I am not being coy. Like when people say 'OOPS I MAY HAVE IMBIBED A SHANDY OR TWO HORRRHH HORRRHHH HORRHHHH' when they mean they've been doing Tequila for five hours. No, it turns out that Tesco and Sainsbury's both do a v good vegan sweet sherry. And it's nice, if you do alcohol.

The honest truth is, I'm just making excuses. Now go and sign up to tptvencore.co.uk. x

A SEISMIC episode, with big announcements all OVER the shop. Also, it's quite funny. But when you've heard it, you'll probably want to head over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs xx

sir sorry sir sorry its late sir but the dog ate it Presenting a second hack up the Dog Park of esoteric audio, as Davey stands patiently by Jacob, wishing he didn't insist on making eye contact throughout, before resignedly fishing in his pocket for one of those little black bags.

In an episode which sprawls like a labrador on a cream sofa after a long and muddy autumnal walk, we take in dogs*, Beyonce, Trick or Treating Memories, even though we're not doing a halloween special, and there are a lot of sodding quizzes. But we have FUN, MAKING MEMORIES. All of which I have forgotten. There was definitely a bit I meant to edit out but didn't. We're so sorry, Jesus. *I'm not taking in dogs any more. Just a very scratchy cat, apparently.…

In which we continue our celebration of the podcast's first anniversary to an increasingly inappropriate degree, but ACTUALLY there is some properly BATSO audio in there, so maybe you should turn down your RANT KNOB. There's a THIRD tranche, if you're interested, over at www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs for the people who are so extraordinarily generous in supporting what we do. Just saying. But maybe I should turn down my WHEEDLE KNOB.…

It's not easy, being green. Or angry. Today's episode, brought to you in sparkling holiday-grade audio (actually, Davey sounds fine, but I sound awful. I just mean editorially) is all about everyone's favourite anger-management epic failure. Enjoy!
