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.

Hey hey everyone!

If you don't know who Shami Stovall is, you're a bit late to the Party.

Shami has been writing LitRPG for a long time now, and she's bloody good at it. Her latest book, Time marked Warlock, I have enjoyed a crapton, not to mention her earlier work, Half-Life Empire!

She was great to talk to, and we spent a lot of time talking about how Romance is formulaic, but also why there aren't more female readers and writers of LitRPG. Seriously, I think this has been one of the most insightful episodes yet.
