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.

PPoME3| We'll Have That Treasure, Thanks! 47:59

5 years тому47:59

47:59

Sonya and her pirates may have gotten a head start to the cave in search of Tristan Blue's treasure hoard, but Captain Quinn and First Mate Naltana have some "help" catching up in record time. It will take every spell Yolaris can cast, every ounce of An-kor's half-orc strength, all the Rockstar moves Naltana can muster, and all the fancy swordplay footwork Captain Quinn can execute in order to win the day. It's a fight Errol Flynn would be proud of, and more than a few close calls! Plus, the crew meet someone new who hints at grandiose adventures ahead. Did he just say "multiverse"?!

Captain Quinnara and First Mate Naltana have secured a map to a small island where it is rumored the fabled treasure of Tristan Blue and the ship known as The Black Swan were last seen. If 'tis true, 'tis treachery that awaits our adventuring heroines and their crew: One Toe Joe, An-kor, Squirrel, and Yolaris. Another ship under the command of Sonya the Ruthless leads The Siren's Song on a deadly chase directly into the path of a raging arcane storm. The wreckage reveals more questions than answers. Who is Jade Ortega? Why does the Chimera want Sonya in their employ? And perhaps most urgently, can Quinn & Naltana find the treasure before Sonya does?
