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.

Richard Cottingham was a serial killer active in New York and New Jersey in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He lived a normal family life during the day but at night, he was an animal hunting his prey. His hunting grounds included Times Square and seedy hotels in and around New York and New Jersey. Join us as Kylie uncovers how this brutal killer got the names The Torso Killer and The Times Square Ripper.

1:13:17

Albert Fish is one of America's most deranged serial killers yet rarely brought up when we talk about Heavy Hitters. Albert's reign of terror took place between 1924–1932 and his victims were primarily children which makes this case that much more chilling. Known as "Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, the Brooklyn Vampire, the Moon Maniac, and The Boogey Man" Fish has a love of self-harm and torturing his victims in such unmentionable ways, we had to gloss over some of those gruesome details. This episode is trigger warning and not for the faint of heart. Visit www.perfectstranglers.com or email contact@perfectstranglers.com to submit your listener stories!

This week we're joined by the podcast True Crime Cat Lawyer as we break The Hillside Strangler(s). The murders began in the fall of 1977 when three sex workers were found strangled and dumped naked on hillsides northeast of Los Angeles. At time, the police let it be known they were looking for 1 individual, however internally, they knew they were searching for 2 individuals, who in the press, were known collectively as "The Hillside Strangler". Kylie will go over the childhoods of cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, Jr. and their subsequent crimes while Elyse from TCCL will break down the trial and legal ramifications that followed.
