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 math that powers 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.

Britain isn’t working well for many of us right now. The cost of energy, housing, and food are too high, while decent jobs with real prospects are hard to come by.

That is the clarion call of a new campaign group that aims to get Britain building again - Britain Remade starts from the conviction that Britain has been a great hub of industry and science in the past, and there's no reason we shouldn't be in the future, provided we have the right policies in place .

Their agenda is very much the same one that animates both CapX and our parent organisation the Centre for Policy Studies, so we were very happy to have one of Britain Remade's founders, Sam Richards, on the podcast this week. Sam is a former director of the Conservative Environment Network and before launching Britain Remade worked as a special advisor in 10 Downing St, focusing on energy and environment.

Despatch: Will the Tories Bow to Farage? 7:17

Dominic Cummings has spoken, and—no surprise—he’s not impressed. The Tories are “intellectually dead,” Kemi Badenoch is a “bad joke,” and Nigel Farage is more famous than the entire shadow cabinet combined. But while Badenoch’s allies insist she just needs time, time is precisely what she doesn’t have. The Conservatives are slipping, Reform is rising, and Farage is relishing the fight. With MPs getting nervous and rumours swirling of a Tory-Reform pact, could the unthinkable be on the cards? In this edition of Despatch, William Atkinson explores whether the Tories’ only way forward is a deal with their greatest rival—or if Badenoch can outmanoeuvre Farage before it’s too late.

Extending an existing runway at Heathrow is a solution more economical and environmentally astute than constructing an entirely new third runway. It would result in lower carbon emissions, reduced noise pollution, and its implementation would be phased – a blueprint of pragmatic innovation.
