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.

A little while ago... In a galaxy quite a ways off...

In which we take a deep dive into the parallel universes of Star Wars '''''''''inspired'''''''' esoterica. Plus some speculation on the appearance of a bald wookie. Google it, or have a look on the @audio_freqs instagram account. Davey will probably post a picture there, and then you'll be sorry.

Don't forget, there's a bonus episode every fortnight if you fancy it - head over to www.ko-fi.com/audiofreqs - or head over to eMule and download the lot for free. One of the perks of being a boutique podcast hem-hem is no-one is interested in pirating it.

Have a lully weekend!

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.…

Really, some would argue, somewhat over-milking our first anniversary, since we're now more than 6% through the second year. But, you know. STUFF is GOING ON, ok? But thank you for bearing with us, and sorry for the late-running of your scheduled Friday service etc. Back to normal next week, I PROMISE xxx…

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.…

Continuing our deep dive into Video Game sound and music. This time it's an Italian Job. I think. It was a week ago now, so I have definitely forgotten. Everything. Also, apologies if you downloaded the original version of this episode and couldn't hear any music. The wheels are NOT falling off and actually we're putting in bold measures to build the economy and keep britain strong ok xxx…

And really, the Birthday party is in full swing, by which I mean I've been sick and burst into tears and had to come upstairs with my yellow towel.

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!
