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.

Why is Pierre McGuire continually so hard on the Halak trade? Why are Habs fans instantly obsessed with every player who goes on waivers? Those questions and the week in review are coming up on Ears on the Prize.
Today's show is heavily focused on the role of fighting in the NHL and whether it has a lasting place in the sport. Friend of the site, Jay Baruchel is going to way in on the topic, as fighting is close to his heart. His smash hit "Goon" was dedicated to the memory of his father. Is the NHL trying to get rid of fighting without actually explicitly doing it? Was Kessel's reaction to John Scott justifiable? After we tackle fighting, we'll look at the Habs' preseason thus far, and who has a shot to make the team, and then we'll be talking to two Bruins writers to preview the Habs and Bruins rivalry.…
