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.

HANNAHPOCALYPSE is a hopepunk comedy/horror series by Red Fathom Entertainment. The show follows the last zombie, Hannah; who’s ‘living’ her best life over 150 years after the zombie apocalypse has come and gone. All the while Cali, a scout for a thriving settlement, looks to make a mark on the world but is coming up bust. Destined to collide, zombie and human will be forced into an unlikely friendship amid a wasteland full of unfriendly robots left over from the ‘bad old days’. It’s a story of friendship, love, robots and a girl who eats people.

Merry June, everyone! We're here to bring you a quick update and share a new show we love. CANDY CLAUS, PRIVATE EYE recently won Best Comedy/Adventure Podcast at the LA Webfest! Woo hoo. Super merry. We had a blast meeting other creators as part of the fest, some in person and some online. One of those creators was Drew Frohmann, who took home Best Director that same night for HUMAN-B-GON. Drew has another mystery podcast that we think you'll love. It takes place just South of the North Pole (aka Canada), and it's an icy mystery with a totally different flavor: SORRY ABOUT THE MURDER. Every day in the nice little Canadian town of Beavermount, Ontario, a Zamboni driver has to solve a grisly murder to clear his Québecois name…and ready the ice for that night’s hockey game. Enjoy!…
