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.

Pagina seriei•Feed

The Rag Company Podcast is all about car care culture through auto detailing, community-building and an unusual look behind the scenes of one of the world’s largest suppliers of premium detailing products. While companies and business-oriented programs often come across as stuffy, self-important and unrelatable, The Rag Company Podcast trio of Dane Hennen, Levi Gates & Anthony Fisher seek to buck that trend with their irreverent humor, lively community and a unifying goal of never taking oneself *too* seriously. (After all, we’re making cars shiny, not solving world peace)
