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.

Life's Fragility: Embracing What Truly Matters Before It's Too Late 11:02

3 дні тому11:02

11:02

What would change in your priorities if today was the day your life was turned upside down? I explore how quickly time passes and why we continue postponing our dreams with the false promise of "tomorrow." Whether it's a devastating diagnosis, sudden loss, or unexpected disaster, these moments instantly render our career ambitions, social media metrics, and material pursuits meaningless. Yet we don't need tragedy to realign our priorities. This episode serves as both wake-up call and invitation to examine what truly matters. Are you putting off that career change because you're afraid? Neglecting relationships while chasing status? Delaying experiences that would bring genuine joy? I challenge you to stop waiting for some future ideal moment and start living authentically now. The most ordinary days—the ones we take for granted—are often what we'll miss most when they're gone. By recognizing life's fragility, we gain perspective that can transform how we spend our precious time. After all, for someone out there, today is the day they'd give anything to return to what you might consider just an ordinary day. Take chances. Express love. Forgive quickly. Appreciate simple joys. Because one day, your life will change in an unexpected way—and when that happens, what will you wish you had done differently? Don't wait for that wake-up call to start living fully.

From the need of better communication in teams to the hidden dynamics in our relationships, there’s always more beneath the surface to uncover.

Ever felt shackled by the opinions of others, worrying incessantly about whether you’re being liked or respected? I’ve been there, we have all bee ther, and it’s a slippery slope.

By focusing on our own actions and reactions rather than external validation, we can finally break free from the exhausting pursuit of approval. Join me as we redefine what it means to be truly confident and fulfilled. Learn how to prioritize authenticity over people-pleasing, and build relationships grounded in mutual respect rather than fear.

Listen to how this practice can uplift not only your mood but also those around you, creating a ripple effect of positivity. Whether it's your kids, friends, or colleagues, learn how these small changes in conversation can lead to more meaningful and optimistic connections.
