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.

Spotify Sucks! 30:56

This episode is all to promote my upcoming appearance on "The Great Big Intergalactic" which is a podcast starring none other than my good friend Caesar. I should say, this episode was all about promoting my upcoming appearance on "The Great Big Intergalactic" which is a podcast starring none other than my good friend Caesar. Now it is an episode about how Spotify is curtailing my freedom of speech and my freedom of expression. I'm sure a lot of you are saying "quit your belly aching! Freedom of speech can be dangerous or hurtful." Well that's exactly what I'd expect a stupid idiot like you to say. That's why this episode is so important. Because if there's one thing I like more than making quality podcast episodes, it's being super offensive. Support the show Go to hunchbunny.com to see all the hidden secrets!! !…

This episode was going to be a big premiere, a sort of "re-birth". My plan was to be very energetic and act like I'd never done a podcast ever before in my life. I was going to have fake technical difficulties and interview somebody about plants. I had it all set but you know what happened? The time came to start doing my whole routine and I thought, 'nah. I just don't feel like it'. And that's what we have here. Enjoy!! Support the show Go to hunchbunny.com to see all the hidden secrets!! !…

Absurdist Misdirection 30:18

This episode is dedicated to my girlfriend because she said she likes the episodes where I ramble on endlessly about nothing and so that's what I tried to do. Now that I think about it, maybe she said that because she thinks it's really annoying and if I ramble on and on endlessly, eventually I will end up alienating my audience. Without my audience, well...there's no need for this podcast, so maybe she told me this, so I'd give up doing the podcast and spend all of my time with her! As I type that out though, that seems less and less plausible, but let's not worry about what's plausible or not plausible. Let's just focus on this latest episode of this award winning podcast!!!

An Interesting Turn of The Screw 34:00

5 weeks ago34:00

A lot of people think that the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is the very first movie with all post production, including color grading, done digitally. But due to the release date being pushed back repeatedly, Jason X (aka Jason in Space) is actually the first film to be completely color graded digitally along with all the other post production. But it didn’t come out until later. On this episode, we listen to a cassette tape my uncle made and sent to a nun. He was a priest, and I think she taught him in school, so it was that kind of relationship. Ironically, the cassette tape is the furthest the Catholic Church ever got with embracing technology and it's still confusing to them.

Greg Judd from The IDK's 55:04

On this episode, we talk to Greg Judd from The IDK's. A lot of you are probably thinking "he already said that in the Episode Title" and that is true, but I wanted to make sure that was clear. I mean, it might not mean a lot to you, but it means a lot to me!! Not only do we talk to Greg Judd from the IDKs but we also debut three songs. That means I am bringing this music to you, the human beings of earth and if that wasn't enough, we get a nice little synopsis of each song before we hear it. This is the big time people!! If this podcast was in a police line up standing right next to a super professional podcast, you'd probably be super worried about sending an innocent podcast to prison because you just wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But never mind my ramblings! Check out the IDK's!!! https://linktr.ee/theidks Support the show Go to hunchbunny.com to see all the hidden secrets!! !…

A Quickly Slapped Together News Show About Things That Happened and an Old Draft Board Cartoon 36:02

This is an episode where I never once talk about the Friday the 13th holiday that happens every few months. Could you call that a holiday? What is Friday the 13th classified as? I guess it's not a holiday. It's just a day. Apparently years that begin on Thursday have three Friday the 13ths. One in February, one in March, and one in November, such as 2009, 2015, and 2026. Leap years that begin on Sunday also have three Friday the 13ths in January, April, and July. Support the show Go to hunchbunny.com to see all the hidden secrets!! !…

This episode is an homage to Over the Edge on KTLA. I was listening to it the other day, or a recording of it I should say, and it reminded me of how inspirational that stuff was for me. Still is!! But that's neither here nor there. What's important is that we got this episode done. We're all really excited about that. Support the show Go to hunchbunny.com to see all the hidden secrets!! !…

This, of course, is the 2024 Christmas episode. Originally, I was calling it the 2024 X-mas episode but I noticed people don't do that anymore. They don't do a lot of stuff anymore. Like caring about each other. That's something we don't do anymore. You know what makes people care about each other? Listening to the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show!
