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.

Kristen van De Geer, 43, colorectal cancer, Hanscom Airforce Base, with Juliette Van de Geer (sister) and Veronika Buckley (sister) 10:39

for 30 weeks siden10:39

10:39

Kristen Van de Geer was living in Alaska, where her husband was stationed in the Coast Guard, and was experiencing stomach pains. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, but with a family history of colon cancer and her mother’s passing in 2017 from gallbladder cancer, she wanted to be sure that nothing else was wrong. For 5 years, she was given different reasons for her stomach pains but never referred for the colonoscopy. Eventually, Kristin got her gallbladder removed. · In 2022 a doctor agreed to perform a colonoscopy too. A single “wonky polyp” was discovered which led to a rectal cancer diagnosis in early 2023. · Now living in Massachusetts, Kristen followed a chemotherapy treatment plan and had two surgeries: one to remove the polyp and one for a resection. Kristen’s focus on seeking and embracing joy during treatment helped her through the most difficult times. She is grateful for the unwavering support of her husband, her sisters, and extended friends and family who showed up for her - and still show up - in the most beautiful ways. · For the past 8 months, she has been out of treatment and feeling better. Kristen’s diagnosis encouraged her three sisters to seek screenings as well. One sister was able to catch an advanced polyp that doctors estimated was within months of turning cancerous. Through genetic testing, which her sister Juliette received first, it was discovered that three of them have a genetic mutation that makes them more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer. Kristen feels grateful for the genetic testing options provided at Dana-Farber, both to her and her sisters. Kristen loves crocheting stuffed animals, like highland cows and mermaids and advocates for screening awareness to anyone who will listen…

Robb Bruce, 53, renal cell carcinoma and sarcoidosis, Raynham, and Brad McGregor, MD, Director of Clinical Research for the Lank Center of Genitourinary Oncology, Dana-Farber 12:56

for 30 weeks siden12:56

12:56

Before cancer touched Robb, it impacted his family when both his mother and father were diagnosed with the disease. In 2013, Robb’s mother was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma and treated at Dana-Farber, by Dr. Philippe Armand, before passing gracefully in 2017. Three months later, Robb’s father was diagnosed with bladder cancer and began treatment with Dr. Brad McGregor at Dana-Farber as well. · Recently, when a large mass was discovered on Robb’s kidney, he knew he wanted to receive treatment from the same doctor who cared for his father. Before coming in to see Dr. McGregor, Robb was told that initial CT scans of his abdominal and chest area showed signs of possible metastasis from the kidney to his upper respiratory system. Robb met with Dr. McGregor who felt Robb was showing signs of sarcoidosis, not metastasis. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease causing the immune system to overreact and sarcoid-like reactions associated with kidney cancer are rare. · Based on Dr. McGregor’s evaluation, a thoracic surgeon removed some of the lymph nodes from Robb’s upper-chest area, which confirmed he had sarcoidosis and not metastatic disease. · A separate biopsy confirmed that Robb had Stage 3 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, so his right kidney was removed. Robb is now waiting to begin immunotherapy and potentially join a clinical trial. · In his free time, Robb loves to golf, listen to music, play guitar and spend time on the lake in New Hampshire with his family. He’s supported by his wife, Jennifer, and his 3 children, Ethan, Lily and Grace who are all currently college students.…
