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.

With news breaking as the show was being published last week that J.T. Miller would be taking an indefinite leave from the Vancouver Canucks, Anna & Chris discuss how his absence has impacted the team over the past two games and who (coughcoughPeteycough) has to step up. They also discuss the merits of having some good DPS on your team, if the Marcus Pettersson is the answer to all blue line woes, and how they expect the team to perform as they remain out on the road.

It's the first episode after the 4 Nations Face-off and Chris has feelings. Plus the Canucks are back in action with a pair of road games, though the results of those are not aligned with the result from 4 Nations. Anna & Chris unpack everything, talk about the future of Pettersson, Boeser & Demko and so much more. P.S. Chris might curse at some point.…

Re-Petey after Me - Feb. 10, 2025 52:34

52:34

In an effort to punish Anna & Chris for their pessimism, the Canucks decided to play some stellar - and dare we say inspired - hockey. Demko got a shutout and should've had a second. The blue line looked reliable, even WITHOUT Quinn. And the we've even seen glimpses of the team playing with speed. Can this all be real?!…

The Canucks can't lose on Saturdays, can't string together three solid periods of hockey every other day, and can't find a dance partner that wants to facilitate a trade at a price they're willing to pay. So what can the Canucks do? Anna & Chris break it all down.

Is J.T. Miller still a Canuck? While the question continues to get asked, Anna & Chris wonder if it will ever get answered. The pair also groan about two lacklustre efforts & toss some lumber around about the one full of lustre.

While Anna & Chris were pessismistic about the Canucks chances the past week, the team grabbed four out of a possible eight points - including a shutout win in Toronto. Despite this, the pair remain quite concerned on the success of the team going into the week that will be.

With Anna back in the saddle, she and Chris discuss the past week of woes for the Vancouver Canucks. Lackluster play, a blueline that's blue, a goaltender with "back spasms," and dressing room drama that can only end in a multitude of ways. And that's just this episode!

While the Canucks home woes continue, Anna isn't around to talk about it & instead arranged for a guest to hang out with Chris. Satiar Shah , host of Canucks Central on Sportsnet 650, joins the show to share his thoughts on what is needed to "fix" the Canucks at home, what the team might look to do to shore up the blue line, and how he thinks the team will handle Demko's return.

59:04

With four games since the last episode, the Canucks find a way to win three of them. Sure they were outshot in in a few, and sure they relied far too often on the NHL streak holding Kevin Lankinen, but it's the points that matter the most... right? Anna & Chris discuss what's going right, what's gone wrong, what helped Petey find his form, what to do about the Hronek sized hole on the blue line, and what's up with the C4 Holiday Live Show! P.S. It's on December 14 at 4pm PT over on YouTube !…

Over the past two weeks the Vancouver Canucks have shown a few things. They can win on the road. They can lose at home. Their coach can apologize to the fans. They can embrace inconsistency like no other. Anna & Chris discuss all of things and more as they try and determine what it all means.

In a week where the Canucks grab 3 points out of a possible 6, it's the game where they grabbed none that bothered Anna & Chris the most. The pair chat about the forward lines getting sorted, why they still worry about the blue line, and if Lankinen is the guy we should trust moving forward.
