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.

We're all reeling from the Trump victory, right? So why not spend shelve the Politics'y post-match analysis of the U.S. Election and instead just focus on the stupid, fun/weird news stories for a bit. On that basis tonight we're discussing the 40 Monkeys that went missing in South Carolina and the Govt initiative to heat London buildings with sewage.

Imagine being a young , TORY woman of colour who FINALLY shows them all that you CAN make it. You've only gone and become the bloody leader of the Conservative Party!
