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.

Lent is that season in the church calendar meant to underscore what has no season, what is necessary in every season–namely, repentance. It is a life. During these next weeks of Lent until Easter we’re going to look at several prayers that are...

The Still Point

6 днів тому

It is sought not only in those privileged times of vacation. We seek it in our work. We seek it in the ordinariness of life. I’m talking about rest. More than mere disengagement, rest is something inward. One way we think of the worthiness of Jesus...

He is Worthy of the Struggle

13 днів тому

From the moment you’re born, life is a struggle. Not all lives have the same struggle, but all lives struggle. So all lives press upon us the need to persevere, and something must give us a reason to persevere. The author of Hebrews writes to those...

A Worthy Death?

20 днів тому

—

In Christ we see a worthy life and in turn find a life worthy of His and of life itself. What about a worthy death? Is there such a thing? What is one? Is that one more expectation we might fail and only compound our regret and guilt? Can one even...

Lest We Drift

27 днів тому

—

To drift is to be carried away slowly but surely by a current of air or water. Drift can happen in any relationship—a steady pull away from another person—and for all manner of reasons. This divergence can happen with a friend, our families, and with...

Listen Up.

Though a tide may be turning, faith, of any stripe, in a modern world can feel fragile–that is, prone to second-guessing–given the number of well-worn religious and philosophical traditions which live in close proximity to one another. At the same...

Benediction at the Beginning, Part II

6 weeks тому

—

Can one verse capture what it means to embody the worth of the life of Jesus? We think so and we turn to Hebrews 13:21 to find that simple, profound way of responding, not transactionally, but adoringly to the worth of His Life.

Benediction at the Beginning

8 weeks тому

—

It’s a unique word that possesses the power in some cases to inspire and in others to haunt. One word that shares that dual potency is “worthy.” Men, women, and children have been roused to feats of courage, stoked by the call to live worthily of the...

Free Christmas

9 weeks тому

Commercially, Christmas is known for debt not freedom. But we have it backwards. Paul tells us that God sent his Son to grant us freedom from a certain kind of debt. And God sent his Spirit into our hearts with a freedom for rights and privileges...

This Peace is Different

10 weeks тому

—

If we are to understand–and know!--this peace promised at His birth, we would best hear it from His own mouth. Why is His peace–the one He leaves us like an invaluable inheritance and gives us freely–not just unlike the kind of peace we might find...

You Don’t Make Your Peace With God

The peace from God–introduced at Christmas, manifested in Jesus, accomplished at Calvary, and sustained by the indwelling Spirit – what does something so high-sounding look like in the most ordinary moments? What makes for this peace, both in its...

Peace For You Too

The angels were sent to pronounce the best news the world has ever heard. And who was the first stop on the tour? Shepherds, which was code back then for an everyday, normal person. This is heaven's gospel for a certain kind of person, someone we...

Keep the Peace of the Heart Before Everything

13 weeks тому

—

The first promise in the arrival of Christ is “peace on earth.” Peace plays a big part in Luke’s explanation of Jesus’s ministry, operating on several fronts. One of those: the human heart. As elusive as it is to experience an abiding peace, so the...

In All Things

With due respect to our first Presidents who established days of thanksgiving–and then Lincoln who made it a regular annual national observance–there is a sadly ironic analogy to be drawn. If one day in three-hundred-sixty-five is set aside to reflect...

We Live or Die By Encouragement

By it we grow, persevere, and recover. Those who offer it are like skilled surgeons, excising what’s necrotic and fostering healing. We underestimate its power and its necessity. We’re talking about encouragement. Among the many words of wisdom in...
