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.

After one bad decision had far-reaching consequences on history and on Hagar, she was left alone in a desperate situation, likely feeling very marginalized like so many do now. But she quickly learned that the Lord saw her situation and was there to minister to her, learning that it was an opportunity to learn to depend on the Lord.

Episode 731: Talking To Yourself 40:58

4 days ago40:58

40:58

Our emotions and feelings are powerful and can become debilitating if we focus on them and ourselves. So in Psalm 42 & 43, we are called to "speak to our soul", challenging it's doubt of God's faithful provision. We have to identify the root of our despair, knowing that coveting and regret impede us from walking by faith, and live in hope in the Lord by seeking and walking in His wisdom.

As believers, it is vital that we have a strong understanding of the cross. Through it, Christ is eternally established as the Victorious King, who has permanently defeated the devil. Because of the cross, we should be ecstatic about our position and also recognize all He is doing. He has given us power and authority, and a unique calling to draw everyone to Himself.

New research is finding that some of our memories may be stored in the cells of the heart, in addition to our brain. So when a person gets a heart transplant, often the donor's preferences, temperament and identity can also be transferred to the recipient. In Ezekiel, the Lord assures us that He gives us a new heart and a new spirit when we trust in Jesus Christ, and that as a new creation, we now have new desires and the fruit of His Spirit tangibly evident in our lives.

After a period of great rebellion against the Lord, He called Israel to consecration, and His presence regularly came down to be among them in the Tent of Meeting. When it came time to build the more permanent Tabernacle, He called Bezalel to be the chief artisan, along with Oholiab. Bezalel was chosen for his heart for the Lord, Who filled him with His Spirit and equipped him for the work. Bezalel's exactness is fulfilling God's Word stands as an example for us to obey "to the letter", and to work hard to honor the Lord and exhibit HIs presence in our lives.

Esau and Jacob came from a mess of a family situation--with favoritism, deception and resentment. Esau understandably developed a hateful grudge against Jacob after he stole Esau's birthright and blessing. So when they finally saw each other 14 years later, Jacob was terrified his brother would kill him. But Esau's mercy is a huge example of rejecting the pain and bitterness and affect on relationships to experience health and restoration.

King Hezekiah of Judah came from a long line of evil kings, including his father, who worshipped idols and corrupted the nation. He instead chose to repair the temple, consecrate the priests and reinstitute Passover and worship. His conviction changed the national culture. Predictably, He was attacked militarily and spiritually, but he recognized he was "fighting an arm of flesh", while he had the Lord fighting his battles. This mindset helps us fight cycles of dysfunction and weakness. Video of this service is also available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRlEJT9I6cg…

We all struggle with uncertainty, insecurity and lack of clarity, because it frustrates us and incites fear. How do we overcome that, and move forward in faith and maturation? When Abraham's servant was sent to find a wife for Isaac, instead of panicking and making an impulsive decision, he prayed to the Lord--specifically and confidently. Before he finished speaking, the Lord showed him Rebekah, proving again how He delights in amazing us with His power and generosity.

38:38

When the Lord gives the 10 Commandments, the first 3 all emphasize that He is the only God, and that we must not worship any false gods or idols. It can be hard for us to grasp that God subsequently calls Himself "a Jealous God", because our concept of jealousy is almost always self-centered and and manipulative. But He is jealous for our soul, and desires to bless us with His love, mercy, transformation and leading. So we need to analyze whether He is foremost and only priority in our lives.

The account of Jesus' incarnation can be so familiar that we lose our sense of awe over the miracle of God's mercy. That was true when He was born--very few people were looking for the arrival of Messiah. But two faithful older people--Simeon and Anna--were constantly in the temple, looking for His coming. When they personally saw "God with us", Who came "to save people from their sins", their hearts were overwhelmed with joy. If that is lacking in us, we need to look again to the Saviour.

The book of Exodus is an allegory for the spiritual condition of mankind, & God's response. We're in bondage and need deliverance, and only the Lord can provide salvation. But even with that, we can fall into grumbling--a red light indicator of a deficiency of faith and entitled indulgence. Our flesh pushes us into the negative and forgets God's goodness. But He proves Himself over and over as Jehovah Rapha--the Lord our Healer. We can always trust Him to meet any of our needs.

When given an assignment by the Lord that shows just how valuable our faith is, Abraham didn't waver, even though he may not have understood why. He told his son that the Lord would provide the lamb for the sacrifice. It is a powerful advance picture of Jesus Christ, and proves that God not only knows and provides what we need in advance, but also that we can confidently lay everything on the altar with full trust.

At Judah's lowest point--in captivity, having offended the Lord for centuries--He sends the prophet Ezekiel to tell them He hasn't forgotten them, and has a future plan to restore them in the New Jerusalem, which will be called, "The God Who Is There". The Lord proves that amazing truth to us in 5 distinctive ways in our lives, and that ministry is powerful and comforting.
