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.

This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we’re disussing a couple of scientists who lose the plot thanks to their own experiments. First up, it’s a 1930s classic—The Invisible Ray (1936)—where Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi team up for a tale of cosmic rays, glowing death touches, and some tense scientific rivalry. Then, we fast-forward to Sam Raimi’s Darkman (1990), where Liam Neeson stars as a disfigured anti-hero who takes matters (and masks) into his own hands after a lab explosion.

We’re unpacking the film history, the genre tropes, and why these stories of mad science still hold up. So grab your goggles and join us for another double dose of sci-fi madness.

From The Brain That Wouldn’t Die ’s predatory surgeon to The Man with Two Brains ’s lusty neurosurgeon, mad science films often mix unethical experiments with unchecked libido. We examine how these films handle (or fail to handle) their problematic gender dynamics and how exploitation cinema shaped the portrayal of scientists on screen.

First, the technicolor terror of Dr. Cyclops (1940), where a power-mad scientist shrinks his colleagues to doll-sized proportions. Then, the satirical Downsizing (2017), where miniaturization is pitched as a solution to society’s woes—with some bizarre twists.

Wells' works brought to the big screen— The Island of Dr. Moreau —and examine two film adaptations: Island of Lost Souls (1932) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). One is a haunting masterpiece from the 1930s, known for its eerie atmosphere and groundbreaking makeup effects, while the other is infamous for its chaotic production, behind-the-scenes drama, and a story as wild as the mad science it depicts. NB: We also make a lot of references to Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau Directed By David Gregory - Which we highly recommend!
