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.

This week I'm so excited to talk to Emma Briedis about plotting!

How to Focus on Writing with ADHD with Shane Douglas Keene 33:19

منذ 2 years33:19

33:19

Today I'm talking to writer and poet Shane Douglas Keene about how you can focus on writing when your ADHD is making it more difficult. Shane's tips from personal experience are: Routine is important. Sitting down to write at the same time every day creates a habit, which may be easier for you to stick to longterm. If you can, have a separate computer just for writing. If you can't, there are programs you can use to block distractions, such as Scrivener's full screen mode. If you realise that you've lost the passion for your project, walk away for a while. You can either work on something else you do feel passionate about or take a break from writing altogether if you need it. Be brave and be transparent with your readers. If your ADHD is slowing your progress, it's okay to be honest about it - plenty of readers and other writers will see themselves in your struggles and sympathise. Alternatively, if you've fallen into a research rabbit hole, consider sharing some of your findings with your readers. To catch up with Shane, check out his Twitter .
