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.

Cash out! This week we recap all-star weekend and find out what it really means to be a renegade. For the washed among us it has nothing to do with Jay-Z or Eminem. Then, we dive into the wild world of Bloomberg and his collaboration with Jerry Media (of Fyre Fest fame) to meme his way to the White House. Finally, we implore Lil Boosie and those like him to know when it's okay NOT TO TALK.

Nothing like a benevolent dictatorship! This week we ponder the great man theory as Brandon and Deej chat with Katherine Rosman from the New York Times about her piece "Jay-Z Takes On The Superbowl". Our talk begs the question, "Jay Z doesn't check his phone during meetings, is he better than you?" Then, the guys take a glance at TV's favorite capitalist nightmare, Undercover Boss, on it's 10th anniversary. Oh and just for kicks? Gandhi's assassin is a flashpoint for political strife in India.

Brandon and Deej lament Uncut Gems, laud Parasite, and invite Blacklist founder, Franklin Leonard, to talk his satirical piece in the Washington Post, “The 2020 Oscar nominations didn’t have to look like this”. Would Marriage Story get made if it was black? Just how good is Parasite? What themes are deemed “oscar worthy”. Ask Franklin. Then, the guys take the competition off of the silver screen and onto the baseball field as they dip a toe in the internet investigation of the Houston Astros Cheating scandal.
