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.

One year ago, the Big Data Beard Team set out on the most epic roadtrip on the #IOTRV. We learned a lot about Splunk, IOT data, and living in an RV. However, this year threw us a curveball. So we decided to make our epic roadtrip even more awesome! With Splunk .conf20 being virtual (as have most of the professional racing series), the Big Data Beard team decided to race ourselves (virtually) to .conf20! Come listen to our wild idea and some of the excitement around our Virtual Race 2 .Conf20. You’ll hear a bit around the idea, the setups, and the projections as we share our excitement, as well as a bit of trash talking as we prep for the #VR2C20 starting on Oct 10! Full shownotes can be found here. Be sure to bookmark our Race page for all the latest news and info…
