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.

S6E3 Who Heals the Healer? 37:10

37:10

Please note that this episode does discuss suicide. With no end in sight, this pandemic has the ability to exaggerate daily stressors. Everyone is experiencing more frequent difficult days and while some people reach out for help, others are losing their lives. We've talked about reaching out for support but who is helping the helpers? In this episode, Alicia and I explore our experience with being therapists in a pandemic and how it impacts us personally as our caseloads increase and our opportunities to recharge feel further away. Tune in and let us know your thoughts! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…

S6 E2 Showing Up for Others 30:20

Which is better, the "Golden Rule": treat people how you want to be treated, or the "Platinum Rule": treat people how they want to be treated? In this episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about how we give support to people and how we ask for support. In our society, it's common that people just try to do things on their own, it's almost expected. But the reality is that we're living in an uncertain time and as we figure out what life is in a pandemic, we may find that we need a little more support from one another. How do you show up for others? How do you show up for yourself? Listen in and let us know what you think! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…

Have you heard about Dr. Carl Hart? He's the tenured professor of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University who is claiming that using heroin in specific doses for limited amounts of time is not harmful. It's quite controversial and scientifically, I understand what he's saying but socially he's missing the mark. In this episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about Dr. Hart's claims and the implications his ideas around hard drugs has on a society that is constantly trying to feel good. What do you think? Can a person safely and regularly use heroin? Listen in and let's discuss. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…

Crisis Comparison 32:14

منذ 4 years32:14

32:14

By now we've all probably figured some small ways to create normalcy in this pandemic. We schedule weekly videochats with family or we made designated work from home space in our homes. As much as we are grateful to still have a home or a job, we can feel like something is still off. We feel sad or anxious and there seems to be no real reason why. So we start comparing our experience to the stories we've heard from friends and the news about the significant increase in unemployment, tent cities and homelessness. All of a sudden we feel guilt for even thinking of complaining. In this week's episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about crisis comparison and how we invalidate our own experience because we see that someone else has it harder. Every experience is valid and your feelings around not being able to live your norm are legitimate. It does not mean that we don't acknowledge the differences, we just don't assign a value that downplays what we're going through because we see the difference. Have you been comparing your experience to that of others? Do you invalidate your grief because it's "not as bad as" someone else's?

Preparing for Grief 30:27

Grief comes to us in so many ways, through loss and transition or unmet expectations. There is also space where we know that loss or transition is coming and it causes us to begin to grieve in advance. This week's episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, Alicia and Erin explore impending grief, how it's different from immediate grief and ways to manage all the feelings. Have you ever experienced impending grief? What did you do to deal with the feelings? Did it make the loss or transition easier or hard to accept? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…

Doing things for the first time can be nerve-wracking. Personally, it has lead to a lot of "productivity paralysis". In this episode, I'm coming to you solo dolo to talk about ways to get over the things that stop you from working out your great ideas and get you closer to exhibiting your full potential. Often we look at the new year as an opportunity to do new things, but fear can stop us. Learning to trust your intuition and be adventurous can remedy that. Listen in and share how you deal with doing new things for the first time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…
