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.

Join them every other Monday as they discuss a new action movie.

In a very special episode, FWAM celebrates America the only way it knows how, by talking about Independence Day on Independence Day.

In their most heated/high stakes discussion yet, Meagan attempts to dismantle Vanessa's favorite childhood weather disaster film, Twister. Can the ladies have a mature debate about sexual harassment, the Bechdel test, and corporate sponsorship, or will the episode turn into an F5 of emotions and blind childhood loyalty?…

FWAM's first ever special guest, Kaitlyn, stops by to talk about the first ever Fast and Furious movie. While Meagan vows to defend her favorite franchise to the death, Vanessa and Kaitlyn discuss the male gaze and internalized misogyny.

Meagan and Vanessa are able to cover guns (literally and figuratively), animals as action heroes, stalking behavior, women's fashions, and very expensive family therapy in a third of the time it takes True Lies to do anything. Note: All of this is done "In Perfect Arabic."

After a (not so?) startling confession, Vanessa and Meagan dive in to The Rock, where they encounter a dynamic "car" chase, a disturbingly fragile chemical weapons storage system, and a sex scene so horrifying that they almost call their first Nicholas Cage action film quits at about 30 minutes in.

Just as Jesus was born on Christmas Day, FWAM was born during the Christmas season. In honor of these hallowed creations, Vanessa and Meagan attempt to determine if Batman Returns actually has a plot while they discuss female sexuality as power and penguins. Lots and lots of penguins.
