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.

S2 Ep2264: Teaching Tip 405 | "Your Voice Matters". Part 10 - Audience effects content. Tips for new and inexperienced speakers | Malcolm Cox 7:52

13 hours тому7:52

7:52

Today we continue exploring a tip from my friend Anna Oliver. Anna says: "Who is your audience? What is their age/culture/religious background? Aim to engage them by saying or doing at least one thing they would be able to relate to. Our current society is no longer interested in listening to a 30-minute talk on a topic if there is no attempt by the speaker to engage them/draw their attention.👍 Hope that helps." Anna's tip is so significant we're taking several episodes to unpack it because it has several different facets. Today, we will explore a second one aspect of this topic. Come back next week for a third one. What helps us ensure that we are connecting with our audience? The content and the style of your talk must be influenced by your audience. Let's explore two Biblical contexts.

Today's tip is from my friend Anna Oliver. Anna says: "Who is your audience? What is their age/culture/religious background? Aim to engage them by saying or doing at least one thing they would be able to relate to. Our current society is no longer interested in listening to a 30-minute talk on a topic if there is no attempt by the speaker to engage them/draw their attention.👍 Hope that helps." Yes, it does. Have you ever sat through a talk that didn't connect? Or worse—have you ever been the one speaking and seen people zone out? Those talks feel like they go on forever. Anna's tip is so significant we're going to take several episodes to unpack because it has several different facets. Today, we will explore one aspect of this topic. Come back next week for a second one.
