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.

Over the past few months, we’ve brought up a phrase… a state of mind… a gamefeel with a certain joie de vivre … That’s right, I’m talking about the Spirit of Bumpin’. This week, we take a deep dive into what the hell the Spirit of Bumpin’ actually means and try to come up with some criteria to define it and representative games that embody it. Susan also chats about her time with Subnautica. Does it have the Spirit of Bumpin’? Tune in to find out! If you’re not backing us yet, head on over to our Patreon .
