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.

Toyota LandCruiser FJ 2025 preview: What we know about the new cut-price 4WD rival to Suzuki Jimny! 20:05

منذ 17 weeks20:05

20:05

Is Toyota cooking up a new LandCruiser FJ four-wheel-drive? The automotive rumour mill is currently in overdrive with whispers that the iconic nameplate will return soon as a mini 'Cruiser to rival the very popular Suzuki Jimny, or maybe even the larger Jeep Wrangler or GWM Tank 300. Either way, anticipations levels are sky high. So in this Newscast video, CarsGuide's Managing Editor, Tim Nicholson, is joined by News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton to chat about what we know so far about the alleged next-gen Toyota LandCruiser FJ. They discuss whether it's happening at all, what it will be called, which platform it will use, which powertrains it will offer – including whether or not it will be hybrid or fully electric, or maybe both — what it will look like and exactly when it will be revealed and go into production. So, do Australian off-road enthusiasts have something to look forward to? Watch on to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Next-gen Mitsubishi Pajero preview: Should Toyota LandCruiser 300 and Nissan Patrol Y63 be worried? 17:27

منذ 30 weeks17:27

17:27

Is the Mitsubishi Pajero making a comeback? All signs point to a return for the iconic 4WD wagon, with the Japanese brand even going as far as to tease a new large SUV as part of its line-up of next-generation models. Better yet, Mitsubishi has recently trademarked 'Montero' in the US, where the Pajero was previously known by that name. So, what is the rumour mill saying about what to expect from the next-gen Pajero? In this Newscast, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gather together to discuss the future of the famous series, including all of the hot tips. Undoubtedly, the headline is the anticipated new Pajero isn't expected to be like its predecessor, with its diesel engine swapped up for a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain in a sign of the times. In fact, the rugged ladder-frame chassis could make way for a car-like monocoque platform. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Nissan Patrol Y63 2025 preview: Engine, price, release date & more details for new LandCruiser rival 4:43

منذ 35 weeks4:43

4:43

The 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 is one of the most anticipated new models that's yet to be revealed. That said, there are plenty of clues as to what the seventh-generation upper-large SUV has in store for buyers and fans alike thanks to the mechanically Infiniti QX80 that made its debut in April 2024. To that end, the big news is what is, or rather isn't, under the bonnet: a 5.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol V8 engine. Instead, in a sign of the times, a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 takes its place, albeit upping power from 298kW to 336kW, and torque from 560Nm to 698Nm. The seven-speed torque-converter automatic transmissions upgrades to a nine-speed unit, too. But, of course, there's a lot more to the new Patrol Y63 than just its powertrain. In this news video, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson is joined by Deputy News Editor John Law and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton to discuss everything else that we know so far.

2025 Kia Tasman: Everything we know so far about the new Kia ute set to rival the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Isuzu D-Max dual-cab pick-ups 25:13

منذ 41 weeks25:13

25:13

It's been a long time coming, but the Kia ute is finally nearly here. The 2025 Kia Tasman has already been named and teased in camouflage, but we're yet to officially find out all of the key details, including its engine options, pricing, release date, tech and safety, among others. That said, in this Newscast video, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton get together to discuss everything we know so far about the Tasman, which will rival the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Isuzu D-Max when it eventually launches next year. Needless to say, expectations are high for the new Kia ute, with Australian executives promising that it will pull no punches, so expect it to be a very capable offering, with dual-cab pick-up and four-wheel-drive availability. But it remains to be seen if its seemingly divisive exterior design will win over fans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

New Ford Ranger rival! 2024 Ram Dakota pickup/ute set for EV, petrol, diesel options - and Australia 19:58

منذ 2 years19:58

19:58

The 2024 Ram Dakota is coming to rattle the Ford Ranger and hammer the Toyota HiLux, the two best-selling mid-size pick-ups in Australia. That's right, the American brand best known for the larger-than-life Ram 1500 ute, is cooking up an all-new model that it hopes will dominate the sales charts. But just what does the new Dakota have up its proverbial sleeve? Well, it's looking good for potential buyers, as a battery-electric (EV) version is under study alongside internal-combustion (ICE) versions with either petrol or diesel power. Point being, there should be something for everyone. That said, in this podcast special, CarsGuide's Managing Editor Tim Nicholson, News Editor Tung Nguyen and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gather to discuss exactly what's in store for the new Dakota under the bonnet, plus everything else we know so far.

There's no denying Australians are in a seemingly never-ending love affair with the ute - just a glance at the top-10 best-selling models here and you will see no less than four different pick-ups. In 2022 we saw the launch of the new-generation Ford Ranger, while the Toyota HiLux was also updated, but that doesn't mean there aren't more exciting utes on the way for 2023.

These utes are too bloody BIG! Ep 247 28:38

منذ 2 years28:38

28:38

The RAM 1500 has been a big sales success in Australia, as has the Chevy Silverado, with the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra to join them soon. But are these US super-utes just too big to operate safely here? Try parking one at Woolies! The already substantial HiLux is just under 5.3m long, a bit over 1.8m wide, and around 1.8m tall. But the Tundra crushes it at 5.9m long, 2.0m wide, and 2.0m tall. How big's your garage? Will it even fit comfortably on a typical Aussie road, or be able to turn on tighter suburban streets? Or are these monster trucks better as narrowly-focused, specialised vehicles, suited to heavy-duty highway towing, or off-road work? Join the discussion! We'll also cover 'This Week in News' - the breaking stories you need to know about (HiLux Rogue, Y62 Patrol, electric Triton), and we give you a rundown on the fresh metal we've been driving this week, in 'Cars in the Garage'.

PHEVs are not THE answer! Ep 245 35:25

New hybrid and 100 per cent EV models are arriving in the Aussie market by the bucket load. Great for city-dwellers, but if you're a rural driver you might be feeling as if this brave new world is passing you by. Could the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle offer the best of both worlds, with enough battery power to allow meaningful zero-emissions driving around town, as well as extended road-trip range, with easy, rapid refuelling and a combustion engine? Or is it an EV dead-end that looks good in theory but is a waste of time in reality? Join the debate!

Ford’s Ranger and Everest sales problem! #242 43:48

منذ 3 years43:48

Is Ford failing in Australia? The brand easily and successfully sells the Ranger pickup and Everest 4x4 SUV, but its other models are being overlooked. The Ranger ute is by far Ford’s top-selling model and it is Australia’s second favourite model behind HiLux, for sales. The Everest SUV is also a sales winner. So why can’t Ford seem to sell any other models, and what is the company doing about it? In this episode of the CarsGuide podcast, Tim Nicholson, Byron Mathioudakis and Stephen Ottley investigate whether Ford can broaden its appeal beyond its two hero cars.

What if General Motors had sold Holden in 2020 rather than axing it? In a package deal, with Opel and Vauxhall, to PSA. Then, in the PSA/FCA merger, it would have become a Stellantis brand. In this episode of the CarsGuide podcast, James Cleary, Mal Flynn, and Steve Ottley discuss the Commodore that could have been. The scenarios are almost endless? Dodge Challenger/Holden Commodore twins anyone? Maybe the Peugeot 508 as a base?
