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.

204: David Choe & the Radio Silence 54:13

2 years ago54:13

54:13

We start with the Dominion defamation lawsuit settlement with Fox (one of the largest defamation settlements in US history), more unethical behavior revelations from Justice Clarence Thomas, and then we dig into the horrific video that resurfaced of David Choe bragging about raping a masseuse, and the disappointing silence from Netflix, Ali Wong, and Steven Yeun. We see you: We do a giant we see you to all the horrific shootings of unarmed, innocent people who have gone to the wrong door (Ralph Yarl), wrong driveway (Kaylin Gillis) and wrong car (Payton Washington) and been severely injured or killed. - feministswithoutmystique.com Support us on Ko-fi!

203: Mifepristone is Safe 1:07:46

2 years ago1:07:46

1:07:46

We spend a little time discussing the latest shooting at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky and then discuss the Tennessee legislature's ridiculous behavior, expelling the (now reinstated) black lawmakers, Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson. Then we rant about the new reports that the unethical Justice Thomas has been gifted jet-setting and super-yacht luxury vacations with conservative billionaire / Nazi memorabilia collector Harlan Crow for over 20 years without disclosing any of it. WTAF. And then we get into the hugely concerning ruling by a Trump appointed judge which undermines 23 years of legal use of Mifepristone. What a shit show. It's probably the most significant setback for reproductive health since Roe was overturned last year. We see you: Wealthy residents using 12x more water than everyone else, Diane Feinstein, comments on Ariana Grande’s body, Suzanne Seddon, Twitter/Elon Musk driving NPR off Twitter, Texas Rep.

201: Is Trump Getting Arrested or What?! 59:08

2 years ago59:08

59:08

We cannot wait. We keep refreshing Twitter and the New York Times. Will Trump be handed a criminal indictment for mishandling campaign funds for Stormy Daniels hush money?? Will he finally face one single consequence for his actions? We need to know. We also spend a few minutes discussing the potential ban of Tik Tok in the U.S. if it poses a national security risk. We see you: Florida bill banning discussion of menstrual cycles in elementary school, Florida bill HB 999, Wyoming banning bills used for abortion, Florida revising the story of Rosa Parks in their textbooks to remove any mention of race and racism, Taylorsville, Mississippi mishandling of Rasheem Carter's murder, Bonner General Health in Idaho stopping obstetrics care and baby delivery due to lack of doctors (all fleeing because of the near-total abortion ban) - feministswithoutmystique.com Support us on Ko-fi!
