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 Rockonteurs we take a fascinating look behind the business of music.

Music merchandise is a multi-million-dollar empire, and everyone has their favourite band T-shirt, but where did it start and how does it impact the bands and artist estates that it benefits. Norman Perry runs one of the most successful music merchandise companies Perryscope and he protects the image and merchandise rights for artists like Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Genesis, Tom Petty, David Bowie, and Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets to name but a few.

Norman has worked with so many of the greatest artists of all time and in this episode, he shares tales of a life behind the scenes working with the great and godlike and how he helps to keep the fan connection alive for so many of our favourite acts.
