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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

5 weeks тому34:04

34:04

Millennial parents, let’s talk. Remember when we thought we’d have a village helping us raise our kids? Turns out, that village is looking real different (or nonexistent). Why does it feel like past generations had more support? Is it because we moved away, set more boundaries, or are we just expecting too much? And let’s be real—at what point do you stop hoping and just buy your village instead? In this episode, we’re discussing the realities of raising kids without the village we thought we’d have.

Millennials: the most criticized, misunderstood, and, dare we say, resilient generation. In this episode, we unpack why Millennials are seen as lazy, entitled, and overly sensitive—but is that the full story? From navigating crushing student debt to juggling multiple jobs while breaking generational cycles, Millennials are doing more than just surviving—they’re redefining what it means to live. Is the world really tougher for Millennials, or are we finally brave enough to challenge the status quo? And what’s the legacy we’re leaving for the next generation? It’s time to set the record straight.

Feminism vs. Reality: What Went Wrong? 23:44

9 weeks тому23:44

Is modern feminism missing the point? In this episode, we’re diving into feminism—past and present. Is the term still about empowering women and advocating for equality, or has it shifted into something more divisive? From understanding the original goals of feminism to grappling with its modern interpretation, we explore how the term has evolved—and whether it’s now doing more harm than good. Are we losing the balance between celebrating women’s independence and respecting traditional roles? And why does modern feminism often feel like it pits women against men—or even against each other?

In this episode, we dive deep into the controversial term "toxic masculinity" and unpack what it really means. Are we redefining masculinity in ways that suppress natural traits of men like strength and competitiveness? We reflect on societal shifts, the blurred lines between aggression and confidence, and why men today might feel hesitant to embrace their manhood. Is it okay for men to be unapologetically themselves? Join us as we challenge stereotypes, question societal norms, and explore whether masculinity, as we’ve known it, still has a place in today’s world.

Why Boys Don't Cry: The Real Impact of Tough Love 36:45

14 weeks тому36:45

36:45

Are we harder on boys than girls, even as toddlers? Is it necessary for boys to face tough love from an early age, or are we unintentionally creating emotional scars under the guise of strength? In this episode, we tackle the fine line between discipline and emotional neglect. From the differing ways parents handle crying boys versus girls to the long-term impact of societal expectations, we ask: Are we preparing boys for the real world—or holding them back from emotional growth? Is tough love the only way to raise strong men? Tune in and challenge how you may view parenting, gender norms, and the lessons this generation is teaching our children—intentionally or not.
