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.

Fasting isn’t just skipping meals—it’s choosing to feast on God instead. As we step into 2025, we’re filled with anticipation for how God will lead us and move among us in the year ahead. To prepare our hearts and align ourselves with His purposes, we’re starting the year with a 14-Day Consecration.
🌿 Why We Fast: It’s not about checking a religious box. Fasting shifts our focus from what satisfies temporarily to the One who satisfies eternally. This year, our theme is “Awestruck: Living in the Fear of the Lord.” Together, we’ll cultivate a holy fear—a deep, reverent awe of God—that transforms how we live, love, and worship.
🌿 What to Expect: Let’s be real—fasting isn’t easy. But through the discomfort, God works, bringing clarity, conviction, and a deeper awareness of His voice. During this fast, we’ll seek His presence daily through worship and prayer, both virtually and in person.
🌿 The Benefits: Fasting is more than spiritual; it’s holistic. It rewires your heart, sharpens your focus, and reminds your body that it doesn’t call the shots—God does. Let’s prepare to live 2025 fully surrendered and united in awe of our holy God.
📅 14-Day Consecration Details:
- When: January 6 - 19, 2025
- Theme: “Awestruck: Living in the Fear of the Lord”
- What’s Ahead: Prayer times, locations, and fasting instructions will be announced soon—stay tuned!
This fast isn’t about deprivation; it’s about devotion. It’s about longing for more of Him than what this world offers.
