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.

In the first season of the Freethinking Podcast, Tim and I are recapping his debate with James White, a prominent Calvinist theologian. This debate happened in February of 2022, but this is our chance to recap the overall debate on the podcast.

In this episode, we give a little background on how this debate came to be, as well as the differing definitions of biblical used by Tim and Dr. White. Tim also defines a few of his terms that he used throughout the debate.

for 5 dager siden1:17:41

1:17:41

Theology Thursday meets FTMonthly today: We often think of "wokeness" as a term specifically meant to explain leftist takeovers of institutions but what if there was a form of wokeness on the right? Dr. Neil Shenvi stops by to explain what the dissident right is and that, while it my eschew the label of "woke" it carries with it similar strategies and ideas about the world. Neil Shenvi is an author and speaker with PhD in Theoretical Chemistry and has written the books "Why Believe" and "Critical Dilemma" (w/ Pat Sawyer). Neil has spent decades researching, writing and speaking against Critical Theory and the ideology that undergirds it. While he focuses mainly on the critiquing the left he has noticed a troubling trend on the right... is it real? we'll discuss. note: Stephen Wolfe (author of The Case for Christian Nationalism) was invited to discuss with Neil in this episode. Check out Neil on X: https://x.com/NeilShenvi Check out Neil's website: https://shenviapologetics.com/ Check out my interview with Neil and Pat on Critical Dilemma here: https://youtu.be/QKH_TYu0krw…
