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.

As a break from some of our heavier topics around ableism and the trauma autistics face, in this mini episode Jeanne (she/her) highlights some famous autistic actors, writers, and athletes (and a few wonderful autistic advocates who might not be famous but should be) to remind us that there are always autistic professionals in any field if you’re willing to find us. We then discuss the importance of including autistic voices for autistic-focused projects, from media to professional development trainings.

In this mini episode Jeanne (she/her) talks about several of the various autism-related events and activities taking place in April, including the currently-running Intersectional Infinity Summit 2022 hosted by the Neurodivergent Infinity Network of Educators and some of its activities, and an explanation of why so many autistics push back against "Light it up Blue" and non-autistic-led autism awareness programming, favoring autistic-led autism acceptance instead. We learn about some other options like #RedInstead, #LightItUpGold, and even the satire event #ToneItDownTaupe, along with an alternative to the puzzle piece, the rainbow infinity symbol.

Joint Hypermobility and Autistic Healthcare 15:27

منذ 3 أعوام15:27

15:27

In this shorter episode Jeanne (she/her) talks about a common comorbidity to autism - joint issues, including EDS, looking at new research showing the overlap in these communities and talking about what that should mean for how we talk about autistic healthcare. She also discusses barriers to accessing effective care, including looking at research regarding training for healthcare professionals in autism and how inaccessibility can impact autistic diagnoses and care. She connects this to the current conflict in Ukraine and how inaccessibility is impacting autistics and those with mobility issues in Kyiv, along with a call for all of us to examine what ways we could improve accessibility in our spaces. Finally, author Chuck Tingle is added to our list of famous autistics folks should know about.

Neurodiversity (and other models) pt. 1 30:43

منذ 3 أعوام30:43

30:43

In this episode Jeanne (she/her) introduces several common ways of viewing disability and differences: the medical, social, neurodiversity, and deficit models, and highlights the pros and cons of each. The neurodiversity lens holds that neurological differences are a natural part of biodiversity and should not be thought of as inherently inferior to what is considered typical. A common misunderstanding is that neurodiversity means not considering any difference as bad, when in actuality it merely means the difference must be examined in light of the person’s goals and needs - what might be a useful difference in one person may be felt as a frustration for another. Neurodiversity is a way of viewing differences without automatic judgement.

Food, Eating, and Autism 45:47

منذ 3 أعوام45:47

45:47

In this episode Jeanne (she/her) looks at an autistic perspective of eating struggles both through research and personal experience, how this connects to high rates of autistics diagnosed with eating disorders, and gives some suggestions for ways to improve autistic eating experiences, including a favorite recipe. She is joined by past guests Gigi (she/her) talking about how texture impacts their relationships with food, and Katie (they/their) discusses their experiences both with food and a diagnosis of anorexia. Content warning in this episode for discussions of disordered eating, calories and food intake goals, and brief mention of misgendering in academic research. Disclaimer: I am a teacher, I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or psychologist - this contains some general ideas I have found in my own research and experience but please check with professionals if you are struggling with these issues, and nothing in this episode should be considered medical advice.

Autistic Communication pt. 3 - The Double Empathy Problem 28:42

منذ 3 أعوام28:42

28:42

A classic diagnostic trait for autism is “deficits in social communication.” However, as past episodes have highlighted, many new studies are showing that this is more a case of autistics and non-autistics struggling to communicate with each other, with both sides failing to interpret differences. By viewing autistic communication through the lens of this double-empathy problem rather than as an autistic deficit, and through examining new research and reports from autistics highlighting ways in which autistics communicate effectively with each other, non-autistic teachers, therapists, and caregivers can help meet autistics halfway and create more supportive and effective relationships. Jeanne (she/her) speaks with fellow autistics Katie (they/them) and previous guest Amanda (she/her) about their experiences with this disconnect between autistic and non-autistic perspectives.

Labels and Language of Autism - Person-First vs Identity-First 13:12

منذ 3 أعوام13:12

13:12

Language is important and can influence our perspectives of people. Many trainings in recent decades have focused on what is termed “person-first” language, where you say “person with x” instead of “x person.” For some diagnoses this is the preferred term, but in the autism community there is a strong preference for “identity first” language - I am autistic, not a person with autism, because my autism is an inherent part of who I am. We also look at other terms and the use of euphemisms such as “special needs,” and do a brief feature on another famous autistic in popular culture, Tee Williams, writer for DC comics.

The Spectrum 10k Controversy and a History of Eugenics 33:12

منذ 4 أعوام33:12

33:12

This week a new project was announced in the UK called Spectrum 10k, with the goal to collect the DNA of 10,000 autistics for various research purposes. It is supported by several big names in autism research, but numerous autistics have raised serious concerns regarding the use of genetic testing to eliminate or cure autism, as well as regarding several of the researchers and groups associated with the project. This has resulted with #ActuallyAutistic and #StopSpectrum10k going viral as the autistic community has pushed back against this internationally. This episode details many of the concerns raised by autistics regarding the research and people involved, as well as looking into the history of eugenics against the disabled in the last century and currently occurring even today. Finally we look at some ways to avoid these outcomes by creating more inclusive research teams and being willing to examine privilege and power dynamics present in academia. Content warnings for eugenics, Nazis, offensive/dated labels, and general mistreatment of autistics.

The Problems with Functioning Labels 20:43

منذ 4 أعوام20:43

20:43

In this mini-episode, Jeanne (she/her) talks about how splitting autistics between “low” and “high” functioning does immense harm, and how such labels and others are used to justify abuse as seen in both the Free Britney and Stop the Shock movements in response to current cases in disability rights in the US. These functioning labels over-simplify an autistic person’s capabilities and limitations, leading to assumptions about support needs that lead to some autistics losing all personal rights due to only minor communication struggles or lack of body control, while leaving other autistics struggling with limited or no accommodations because of assumptions around their “functioning” level. Content warning for descriptions of both physical abuse and Nazi eugenics, warnings and times to skip are noted mid-episode.
