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.

Hey, gang! We're back with another absolute slog of a film: Pixar's 2015 borefest The Good Dinosaur ! Talking points include: who is sleeping on Pixar's beanbag chair, and why do they keep getting work? When is pastiche a boring cinematic device, and when is it an Italian pastry Misha wants to go down the street to buy? Finally, why can't movies seem to animate children that look and act their age?

Greetings, Adventurers! Sit down by the hearth and hearken to this tale - tale of woe, bad plotting, and bad characterization! It's Disney's The Black Cauldron from 1985! Misha and Tyler dive into all those parts you wish they would and wouldn't: what Gurgi's whole deal is; what Eilonwy's whole deal is; what the Horned King's whole deal is; and...you get the picture.
