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.

Grant Sinclair (@grant__sinclair) grew up duck hunting the famed Reelfoot Lake in West Tennessee and now travels throughout the continent chasing ducks and geese. On top of being a skilled waterfowler, Grant is remarkably talented when it comes to capturing waterfowl on camera. His videos have built a huge following on social media, and the channel also serves as a platform for him to call out some questionable behavior in the sport. He shares some of his experiences freelancing north of the border over the past 15+ years and the changes he’s seen across all of duck and goose hunting.

Ducks started and stayed concentrated up and down the Central and Mississippi Flyways this season. That led to mixed results for the masses with a significant dependency on whether you had early habitat or not. The hosts talk through some impacts with the rafts of ducks holding tight to the north, Arkansas's habitat shortfalls, hen harvest clarity, GPS transmitter mallard behaviors. Then a little fun sharing some personal highs, lows, and disappointments with some waterfowl brands and their messaging this season.

A winter storm barreled through Kansas and Missouri, leaving nearly a foot of snow and prolonged below-freezing temps in its wake...but will that be enough to push ducks to Arkansas for the final few weeks of the season? Cason and Brent sift through some variables locally and in the flyway that could be a factor on just how many push south. The guys also get into some culture/community adjustments waterfowlers and brands in the industry should consider if improvements in future seasons are of value.

This week on The Standard Sportsman, the guys recap the first split of the Arkansas duck season and the outlook heading into the second season. With a significant and lengthy run of cold weather up north, ducks are on the move, but have they made it to the deep south yet? Instances of a potential Avian Flu outbreak appear to be occurring with young snow geese. Cason and Brent also get into opportunity vs. experience, the duck hunting sub-culture items and their impact on days afield, and Arkansas setting the bar for the future of the sport.

Where are the Ducks? Take 2 with Dave Rave 1:22:34

1:22:34

Retired Louisiana and Minnesota waterfowl biologist Dave Rave follows up his uber-popular “Where are the Ducks?” episode from last season with a fresh take on mallard populations, sex ratios, season frameworks, and limits. Rave details how the early start to the season in the north may be just as damaging to populations as the late January hunting in the south, SWDs, and numerous other management practices that he believes require reevaluation for mallard populations to rebound and hunters to stay in the sport.
