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.

UNAIRED DAVID LYNCH PODCAST PILOT | Episode #472 59:39

On January 15th, 2025, the world of cinema lost one of the greatest storytellers to ever come into the medium in David Lynch. A nearly 40 years career that spanned the medium of not only film but television, art, music, books and even becoming a world class speaker. In the winter of 2023, we sat out to make a David Lynch podcast called the “Big Dream Podcast”. This podcast would have spanned the entirety of Lynch’s career. However, timing was the enemy and the podcast never made its way past the pilot episode. This is that pilot episode with filmmaker David Gayne. Enjoy and may David Lynch rest in peace.
