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.

Having taken aim at several controversies in the Corinthians church, Paul now takes up the most concerning of them all, namely, some were denying the resurrection. Paul, with piercing logic, proves how the resurrection is not an optional extra but the heart of the gospel message, without which, the entire Christian faith falls apart like a wagon wheel with no lynch pin.…
Paul concludes his section on Spiritual gifts in the church by emphasizing that the gifts of the Spirit should be used to build up the church in an orderly manner. He instructs the Corinthians to avoid chaos by ensuring that everyone speaks in turn and that their contributions are constructive. He reminds them that this orderly worship reflects God’s nature of peace and promotes unity within the church body.…
Paul emphasizes the importance of prophecy as a spiritual gift that should be desired and valued. He explains to the Corinthians how prophecy has the power to build up the church body in more understandable ways than speaking in tongues. Unlike uninterpreted tongues, which benefit only the speaker, prophecy serves the entire community. He highlights that while prophecy is primarily a gift for believers, it can also bring non-believers toward salvation.…
In possibly the most famous passage in the whole New Testament, Paul urges the Corinthians, who were using spiritual gifts selfishly and for their own benefit, to adopt a radically different approach. He wants them to use spiritual gifts to serve others and not for personal gain, to shift from selfishness to selflessness to mirror Christ's love. He also stresses that while spiritual gifts are temporary, love is eternal, and we see the priority of love, the pattern of love and the permanence of love.…
Paul longs for the church to use the gifts of the Spirit, given graciously by God, for the unity and upbuilding of the church. He highlights God as a gracious gift giver and the Spirit as the one who exalts the name of Christ. Though there are many different kinds of gifts, they are from the same Spirit and are given for the common good of the body, which is the church.…
As communion became a source of division and inequity at the Corinthian church, Paul reminds the believers of the meaning behind the meal, how Christ has given himself, and how we are to examine our sin as we come to the cross.
As we continue to dive into 1 Corinthians, we explore the challenging-to-interpret message in chapter 11 on the relationship between husbands and wives and see how the gospel turns the idea of headship upside down.
In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul concludes his three-chapter discourse on idol worship with a stern warning to "flee from idolatry," addressing the questions of what idolatry is, why avoid it and how to do so. Paul recounted Israel's failures from Exodus as a caution and advises believers to exercise their freedom responsibly.…
Paul uses his own life as an example of how as Christ-followers, we can follow the example of Jesus, and be free in Christ while choosing to lay down that freedom out of love for others.
This week we return to our study of the 1 Corinthians and look at Paul's teaching on sex in relationships, walking a tightrope between shunning nor idolizing sex and marriage. We look at how Paul roots sex and relationships in the gospel message, as in every other area of life.
Paul turns his attention to fornication in the church and once again, rather than zooming in on the sin itself, he zooms out, showing them the foundational gospel truths that will help them to rightly understand sex, their bodies, and how it all relates to their faith.
How should the church, God's holy people, respond to sins within the Body? Paul addresses sin openly committed within the Corinthian church and their complacency and urges them to live their new lives in Christ, getting "rid of the old yeast".
Paul addresses the arrogance of the Corinthians head-on, rebuking their judgmentalism, boasting, and rejection of correction. Paul challenges the Corinthians to leave the judging to God, putting themselves last, and humbly seek discipleship with gladness.
What does it mean for our minds to be renewed by the Spirit? How does that transform how we think about the world and ourselves? What prevents us from being receptive to the Spirit’s work to renew?
What is "true" wisdom? In this message, we explore the differences between the wisdom of the world, and the wisdom revealed to those who are called. Hear how Paul challenges the Corinthians to see that God uses human frailty and weaknesses to demonstrate his power and strength.
Paul dives into the heart of the issue of divisions in the Corinthians church, reminding us of the power of the Gospel to unite us all and the beauty that comes from being one in Christ.
