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.

In this heartfelt episode, I'm reflecting on 9 life lessons I wish I could share with my 18-year-old self. Each "lesson" is a message of self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment, from self-worth and resilience to navigating early marriage and motherhood.

Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, this episode serves as a reminder that it’s never too late to embrace who you truly are. Tell me in the comments what you would like to tell your younger self! I’m Jo Blackwell, a Positive-Age Advocate, Writer, Podcaster & Researcher.

The New Old: Redefining Aging in the 21st Century In today's world, growing older isn't what it used to be. We now expect a longer, more active life than our parents' and grandparents' generations. This episode dives into how the stages of life have evolved over the past century and introduces two thought leaders, Chip Conley and Barbara Waxman, who have reshaped how we view aging. Covering how life expectancy has shifted from the early 1900s to now, how adolescence was discovered, and why midlife is no longer just a pit stop. We discuss "Middlescence," a new life stage that mirrors adolescence but in reverse, and how this transitional period can help us prepare for a fulfilling second half of life. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, this video offers empowering insights on how to embrace midlife and beyond. Discover the concept of wisdom workers, the importance of mentorship, and why aging in the 21st century is more about growing whole than growing old. 💡 Join the conversation: Share your memories of your parents' or grandparents' aging journey on the MIdlife and Beyond YouTube channel 📺 Watch the TED Talks mentioned in the video: Chip Conley and Barbara Waxman Please browse my website , where you can buy my books, and subscribe to my Newsletter for free resources.…
