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.

War has come to Banteave. The Cursed Sword and the Midnight Throne lash out with trained soldiers, as well as less conventional weapons. The Duchess and the Tigers of Antyre watch anxiously from the sidelines, full aware that risking intervention could be the deciding factor of the conflict. The day of coronation approaches, yet who will hold the crown is still far from clear.

Sabres have been rattled, bold and heretical claims have been made, and all the great houses of Banteave are readying to claim the throne. The Duchess of Nightmares raids in the north, while the Cursed Sword squabble over leadership and grudges. The Midnight Throne itself aims to find the allegiance of the Tigers of Antyre, who themselves seem almost bemused by the power struggle. All this jockeying will come to a head soon enough. The question is, what will be the spark that sends them hurdling towards war?

Thousands of years ago, when the gods still walked the World Unknown freely, a bird named Vayu came to be. They lived a life of adventure and heroism, founded the city of Aldovia and became the most famous bird in perhaps all of history. This is not her story; this is the story of how she came to be.

200 years ago, the Knight of Eaves took up arms and drove a god from the sun, ending the disastrous Sunlit Century and returning the cycle of day and night. Peace did not follow quickly, but was strenuously rebuilt under their rule from the newfound Midnight Throne. Now they are gone, leaving only an egg as a potential successor. The other powers see this weakness, and they know that they must strike soon to claim the Throne for themselves. The Duchess of Nightmares schemes for it, the Cursed Sword raise their armies, the Tigers skulk and prowl at the edges. The hard-fought peacetime is at last coming to an end.

Millennia after they created the World Unknown, Conflagrio still slumbers at the world's core. Betrayed and bound, they have waited impatiently for their faithful followers to grow, strengthen, and one day free them. That day has come at last. There are four of them, each as strange and different as can be. Each prepared to give their life for a glimpse of their God of Fire and Foundations, the Progenitor of the Demigods, The Chained God.

The first snows fall in the valley the Namers have called home, and they face one final question. Should they leave this place, continue their nomadic, overachieving lives? Or should they stay, celebrate what they have built, and face whatever ghosts they have unearthed? Either way, the Frost Shepherds will be upon them soon enough.

Summer turns to autumn, and life among the Namers goes on. Some long-standing questions are answered, but only leave even more unknowns in their wake. Many people feel restless, fueling obsessive projects in religion, in academics, and in moon-wrangling. Tragedy looms on the horizon, and not every leader will live through the year. Will the Namers remain a stable community? Today's episode is hosted by Paul (@pauly3d) and also features the voices of Sasha (@sashareneau) and Kai (@alpha3nine).

In the beginning, there was nothing but the empty void of space. And then, in this void, 3 Gods appeared: Conflagrio, Oxx, and Amalgi. Each God was fickle, powerful, and flawed in their own way, but together they built what we now call The World Unknown. This is at least one account of how that world was made. (Programming Note: We will be back next episode with the continuation of The Tiger is OUT. Consider this an intermission of sorts to break up that very long game.)

The Namers have settled in a valley of immense history. Tigers wander to and fro, means and ends inscrutable and dangerous. Fungal "Shadow People" venture from their caverns and offer mutual aid, but live in fear of the sun. Strange mechanical beings tumble about, and some claim that they are living beings themselves. Among all this, the Namers struggle and thrive, working to find safety, power, faith, and food in turn. But their ignorance of the cultures and histories around them could turn things foul all too easily. Today's episode is hosted by Paul (@pauly3_d) and also features the voices of Sasha (@sasha_reneau) and Kai (@alpha3nine).

Far away from cities and empires, there is a place where a Moon hangs low in the sky. Ancient ruins hide secrets of peoples long past, tigers wander about powerful and inscrutable, and waterfalls hide yet more forgotten folks. It is here that the Namers have come, ambitious achievers unafraid of any challenge. Their settlement here may be temporary, but what they find here will could community forever.

Life in Aldovia is never peaceful, but today things will be truly chaotic. A Carefully planned wedding teeter on the edge of collapse. Street magicians turned assassins plan against a terrifying foe. Numerous laws, both human and avian, are egregiously broken. The only forces that can prevent utter catastrophe amount to a gullible groundskeeper, an undead raven, and sheer, dumb luck.
