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.

A marvelous and mostly mature roundtable discussion with a mob of Mad Men maniacs.

For part two of our Oral History of Mad Men, we hop in the way back machine to find out what our roundtable of guests were doing in and around the year 2007 (arguably, one of the last good years on Earth) and what initially drew them to the show. We explore the show’s cultural impact, social commentary, and the influence it had on each of our guests.

And now, a show the algorithm will censor: we had a rambunctious conversation with author, activist, and auteur Barry W. Lynn. Though Barry arrived to the interview wearing head to toe Ed Hardy, surprisingly (or not) we didn’t talk about clothing very much at all! Barry Lynn on going toe to toe with America’s worst people; the sins of our recent past (the Reagan admin, NAFTA, neoliberalism); his radicalizing moment; “process theology;" using existing frameworks to take down assholes, and a hog's head more!…
