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.

As this year has been unfolding there are some very frightening things that will be taking place.

As I pondered on them, a thought entered into my mind, "Lord, there is so much about to take place that has everyone completely distracted. What messages can I give them? What can I tell them?"

He answered me in my heart saying, "The same thing. Tell them to keep on trusting in Me, and to keep on doing what they are already doing and stay faithful to Me."

He impressed on me further that yes, there are things changing that will test the merit of all of us. And then I thought of that verse, "There is no shadow of turning with thee."

He wants us to stay true to the well-worn tested paths of all those who have gone before us thoughout the centuries. They are sure paths.

Serve the Lord while on earth every day, hour and minute. Even until the day you breathe your last and final breath. Never surrender to anything or anyone, never give up, always remain faithful to the very end.

Then will Christ, "The Man at the Gate," lift you in and give you eternal rest in the Kingdom of His Love. Every tear and sorrow in your little inch of time-suffering will not be worthy of your first breath of glory in heaven.

“Christ is a well of life, but who knoweth how deep it is to the bottom? This soul of ours hath love, and cannot but love some fair one; and O, what a fair One, what an only One, what an excellent, lovely, ravishing One is Jesus.”

― Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of Christ

Heaven Land Devotions - Take Comfort in Eternity 37:20

**Thank you for supporting this ministry, I lovingly refer to as "The Little Green Pasture."

She said, "No one will care when I am gone." I immediately said, "No mom, you are wrong, I love you and I will miss you. But you will go to Heaven and there you will be so happy, and I will be okay. I will miss you but I will see you later. She nodded and peacefully smiled. We are all in the realm of time. From the time we are born until the time we die, we are all moving towards eternity. This is only a time passage unto a "world without end." This morning I was reading in the book Daniel where he was interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great image. That image represented great kingdoms that have passed away into antiquity, and the fourth one of the final end. The one we are seeing appear in our time. What spoke to me were these semi-final words: "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth." Daniel 2:34-35. All of those kingdoms are gone and this final one will be as they are. GONE. The kingdoms that are here and now will be as chaff that the wind carries away, and will never be again at the time of Jesus' Second Coming. The only remaining Kingdom will be the Stone Kingdom of Jesus Christ that will "fill the whole earth." Be aware of the time that God has given to you and anchor yourself to Christ whom you love, who "Inhabits eternity." You will be there sooner or later. Be eternity conscious and remember the words of King David, "My times are in thy hand." Psalm 31:15. “When the time comes to die, make sure that all you have to do is die!” ― Jim Elliot, The Journals of Jim Elliot…

However, when I saw the idolatrous imagery I was shocked and was speechless for a time. I guess I had to go over what I had seen and process it, and the spiritually prophetic implications. The video began with children escaping out of a dark tunnel and entering into what looked like a brand new world. A land of bright and shining light. Then the little child is holding a red heart balloon entering in through the glorious gates into "Gaza Land." He is seen later on holding a golden balloon of the head of Trump. There was a scene of a gift shop with a wall full of golden idol images of Trump. The other scene showed shelves of golden heads of Trump with golden heart shaped balloons. At the end, the same little boy is seen staring up at the towering colossal golden image of Trump in awe. It was eerie. There should never be any thought of erecting a golden image of a man on Israel's soil. It is blasphemous and an affront to the God of Israel. Especially in the inheritance portion that belongs to Judah where the Gaza Strip is. In all of these things, be aware not to get too overtaken in what is happening. Always keep aprised but do not get overtaken with everything. Jesus Christ is allowing it to happen. Which tells us He is very near to come. Stay grounded in prayer and the word. "Little children keep thyself from idols." 1 John 5:21. "If I had a thousand lives, I would gladly give them all for the faith." ~ Quote from Foxes Book of Martyers…

Heaven Land Devotions - The Land of Remembrance 31:45

**Thank you for supporting this ministry, I lovingly refer to as "The Little Green Pasture." Click here: PayPal: http://paypal.me/JoanStahl **Please prayerfully consider becoming a ministry partner: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/joaniestahl **Contact Email: jsfieldnotes@gmail.com **Subscribe to me on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-534183Over the past few days I found myself duing devotions going over a few things in memory. Things from long ago that brought heart brokenness. What was surprising is that the same powerful feelings of the long ago moments of those heart breaks were still powerfully alive in me. As I was remembering those things, I had an image of something broken and shattered in pieces before me. I spoke to the Lord as I had that vision in view saying, "Lord, how can you pour into my heart, my vessel, your living waters? How can my broken heart catch and hold your rivers?" I heard Him speak quietly within me, "When a heart is unbroken it is harder for the living waters to flow into it. The waters pour over it but not into it because it is closed up, there are no entrances. But the broken heart allows the rivers of life to fully flow into it." I saw the vision change to seeing water from above flowing like rushing mighty waters in through the broken pieces. The broken pieces became the very entrances for His life flow of love. I started to think about what it meant to remember, and how it is something we all do every day all day long. But there is another kind of "remembering." It is spiritual, and it is created in us as believers to always remember Jesus Christ. God also wants us to call upon Him to remember us. Nehemiah said it many times, "Lord remember me." David, Hezekiah, Hannah, Rachel, Isaacs wife, Job, the Israelites, the thief on the cross and many others prayed the same thing and God remembered and answered them. There comes a time that you must do the same. Do not shrink back from it during hard times, weaknesses, fears and sorrows. Say those three powerful words to the Lord the same as them, "Lord, remember me!" Remember also, "His thoughts for you are innumerable" more than the sand of the seashore." And just as Jesus answered the thief on the cross, He will answer you and say, "Today...." "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19 - Jesus Christ. "But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present." - Oswald Chambers…

Heaven Land Devotions - Silent Revelations Given 25:36

**Thank you for supporting this ministry, I lovingly refer to as "The Little Green Pasture." Click here: PayPal: http://paypal.me/JoanStahl **Please prayerfully consider becoming a ministry partner: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/joaniestahl **Contact Email: jsfieldnotes@gmail.com **Subscribe to me on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-534183 Recently I had received an early morning call that my mother had a stroke. Though I was alarmed of course, I immediatly felt a strange kind of silence within. It came with a strength like "the great mountains." I did not sense to fall down and pray, but only a strong silence that was from God. I only said the words, "Lord thank you that you have everything in control." For the next few days and nights, that strange kind of silence was very great. I knew it was from the Lord because of the nature of it. I felt sad for my mother of course and had all the very real human emotions, yet still deep below was a kind of quiet holding of the soul. I waited in night "watchings" and still felt that quiet, calm atmophere of that strange silence. It was not an empty silence because it came with a crystal clear knowing and peace that all was fine, even though there were no signs of it. This was not the first time I have experienced this, therefore I was more than acquainted with it. Sometimes God does not want us to always be rushing into prayer. Instead, He gives a strange kind of silence that He wants us to trust Him in. It is very distinct and it is quickly known it is not the devil, or yourself, but given to you from God to be exercised in it. This God-given silence is a sign that He is trusting us to handle a bigger revelation He wants to impart. It is very personal but something that must be obeyed. Do not be afraid when this silence is given to you in times you least expect it. If so, keep your mouth closed and listen. "So wait before the Lord; wait in the stillness. And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment." -Amy Carmichael…

Heaven Land Devotions - Glorious Wells of the Weary 31:10

**Thank you for supporting this ministry, I lovingly refer to as "The Little Green Pasture." Click here: PayPal: http://paypal.me/JoanStahl **Please prayerfully consider becoming a ministry partner: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/joaniestahl **Contact Email: jsfieldnotes@gmail.com **Subscribe to me on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-534183 Weariness is always a part of our journeys. There is no doubt that Jesus was weary in His earthly journeys though there is only one reference of it. "Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour." John 4:6. As soon as He sat down on Jacob's well, the encounter with the woman of Samaria would never have happened. He was humanly thirsty, and she was spiritually thirsty. Both were able to give water to each other. However, He said to her, "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw." (vs. 14-15). Here we see Jesus Christ the "Well of Salvation, sitting down upon "Jacob's well," and "a well of water springing up unto eternal life," entered into the woman. We never read any where else that Jesus drank of that well, but perhaps was satisified spiritually the same as her. Do not be afraid to let go of all the spiritual business when weariness happens. Instead sit down. Do not be surprised to realize that this is a very real place. The same as places of weariness that Jesus had, and Paul and John the Revelator experienced when in prisons wrote all the letters to the churches. Expect God to do things you would never expect, and you will drink of the artesian wells of eternity and be refreshed and strengthen to continue on your own journeys to the Heavenly Mount Zion, "The City whose builder and Maker is God." "We have looked up. We have seen the lovely radiance of that upper air. But our feet must walk the ways of the earth down that dreary hill past those somber trees, and into the valley, before we can press up through the mist and stand under shining skies." ~ Amy Carmichael.…

Heaven Land Devotions - Our King Is STILL Coming 35:31

Yes, there are many exciting new things to expect now in our nation and many are breathing a great sigh of relief. Yet there is still the spiritual side, the walk towards the Heavenly Jerusalem. And at this time it is now a short walk. There are still many souls that are famished, thirsty and dying. For all the true laborers of Jesus Christ, the day is still the same as before until the very end. Nothing changes, we go on. As in the Old Testament it is continually said, "The camp setteth forward." Elon Musk posted something this morning saying, "The return of the king!" That really struck me. I replied in my heart, "No Elon, OUR KING is still coming." And in the knowledge that our King is STILL coming, who is Jesus Christ, then we are going to press forth, press onward, even with much tribulation. No doubt more so, and not because many executive orders were signed, but because we know there is such a short time left. Christ is our focus and our "eyes are fastened on Him," and our "ears are attentive" to the sound of His voice and movement. I had a dream the night before the inauguration. I was shown from the Lord what the command of duty is from our King for the final days. I pray you will hear the dream and follow that blessed charge. Jesus Christ is coming again, and He will reign supreme and all kings will bow down before Him. "He will honor those that fear Him." "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him." Psalm 72:10-11. "All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD." Psalm 138:5. " And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be...He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen." - Jesus Christ - Revelation 22:12,20.…

You cannot get there by force or effort of yourself, it will only lead to a longer time. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher. He is the one who is taking each and every life purchased by the "Precious Blood of the Lamb," Jesus Christ, and maturing them. No one can rush the maturing process seeing He is the one who oversees and undertakes every breath, step and beat of our hearts. There will be temptations from all sides to turn you away into intellectualism, or overspiritualization. None of which will ever get you closer to that "place" of maturing. It will only corrupt you. Do not ever think that even many of your failings are something to be grieved over for the rest of your life and lost time. Nothing is ever lost with and in Christ. The enemy will constantly bring them into your mind with cringing memory to accuse and cast you down. However, your life is no longer being developed by Satan but by Jesus Christ. The maturity only Christ will bring you to is full bodied and robust. Every mistake a person makes and repents for becomes a mighty weapon of terror against him that will defeat him. Do not think of running your race unhinged trying to gain more than what the Holy Spirit knows you are ready for. The whole life is prepared for Jesus Christ to be able to give you what your life is precipitated for. As you are agreeable and teachable, He will then begin to use your failings and shortcomings to teach others "the more perfect way." The way of His love. He is maturing you to the be "Polished stones" in the eternal temple of God. “Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God.” ― Hannah Whitall Smith, The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life…

**Thank you for supporting this ministry, I lovingly refer to as "The Little Green Pasture." Click here: PayPal: http://paypal.me/JoanStahl **Please prayerfully consider becoming a ministry partner: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/joaniestahl **Contact Email: jsfieldnotes@gmail.com **Subscribe to me on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-534183 Sometimes horrible things happen, like these massive fires that are destroying thousands of homes, wildlife, and people's lives. Prayers always feel as if they are so small compared to the enormity of the circumstances like this. At first the prayers start out with "loud cries and shouts" unto the Lord for mercy and help. Then day by day, the prayers begin to wane and thin out. Because of the overwhelming catastrope of it, hearts become slowly extinguished. Not for any lack of care and sincere concern, but the feeling is as if the thing is too big and heavy to carry. Silently prayers decline. These fires are only an example of a great thing, but there are other weighty matters too.These fires will eventually be put out but there will be other kinds of fires in the lives of many people. Fires of all kinds of heavy things. At first there is the natural outcry of prayer, but after that it is important to get yourself quiet. Do not feel you need to do so much personal heavy lifting when you yourself need lifting up. You have to spiritually pace yourself. I love what Amy Carmichael says: "So wait before the Lord; Wait in the stillness. And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment." She is right, and when we wait before the Lord, His comfort will come and you will be led into the path of prayer "paved with love." You will come to realize that you do not have to say a whole lot to Him. When you find yourself saying, "Lord, I cannot do this, it is too heavy for me, but it's not too heavy for you!" God will then meet your faith and answer. He delights in the one who looks up to Him. "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:24. “Prayer is the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.”― Andrew Murray…
