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.

Bradey interviews Katherine about her past experiences conducting psilocybin research at Johns Hopkins, which was fairly close to ground zero of the psychedelic research resurgence. They touch on where Katherine's interests are now and discuss the ultimate value that the mystical experience can and does have, when the lessons and values that it reveals are integrated into a modern life. They finish the discussion with the immaturity modern culture has around death and dying and the connections this final journey has with the mystical states precipitated via psychedelics.

On todays episode Bradey has on guest Julian Palmer. I will let Julian introduce himself with an exerpt from his website, which you can find below. The conversation touches on a variety of topics ranging from psychedelic plants and their effects on humans, to some of the issues with modern world and the effect this can have on our well being if we do not find ways to resacralise our lives. " Julian was born in country North East Victoria in Australia, where his father worked as an agricultural journalist and editor. In his early 20’s, he explored many forms of spiritual inquiry, practiced purification of intent and worked in web design and multimedia for companies and freelance work. After moving to the far north coast of NSW when he was 24, he quickly got seriously into psychedelics and since that time hasn’t really stopped exploring and learning about them and the states they could catalyze. His book Articulations is his life work (at least to this point), and sums up about everything he wants to say about psychedelics. His next projects involve creating innovate film erotica and exploring indigenous psychoactive plants that are unknown to the western mind. Julian has a podcast and in January 2023 released a 2 hour documentary called “Contemplations: On The Psychedelic Experience” " Here is the link to Julians website where he has various interesting writings and where you can find out further information about him. https://julianpalmerism.com/…

Bradey has Jas & Lucy on, to dive deeper and explore the topic of open relationships further, from the inside out. Here is some of the evidence that Bradey discussed regarding the effect that was mentioned for children exposed to step/biologically unrelated adults/parents, there is plenty more research there, so if you would like some more sources feel free to reach out. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16263983/ "Results: We identified 149 inflicted-injury deaths in our population during the 8-year study period. Children residing in households with unrelated adults were nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries than children residing with 2 biological parents (adjusted odds ratio: 47.6; 95% confidence interval: 10.4-218)" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0162309585900123 "Both abuse and police apprehension were least likely for children living with two natural parents. Preschoolers living with one natural and one stepparent were 40 times more likely to become child abuse cases than were like-aged children living with two natural parents. Whereas abuse risk was significantly higher for children living with a stepparent than for those with a single parent, the reverse was true of the risk of apprehension for criminal offenses."…
