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.

Frankenstein Read Aloud: Episode Four 43:01

This episode covers chapter 11 through 14 Click the link to follow along with the story at home! Intro: Hello, hello. My name is Hannah and we are back with episode 4 of our Frankenstein read aloud. You all know the drill by now, before we all settle in to our comfies, start up our cars, and gather a crowd we LOVE to share a fun fact with you all. Did you know that Mary Shelley is considered to be the mother of science fiction? At age 18? Frankenstein is unique in that it’s sort of the first novel that falls under the genre we’d now call ‘science fiction.’ Without her, movies like Star Wars and shows like Stranger Things wouldn’t really exist in the same way! Wild! I now invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Outro: End of episode 4. Thank you, once again, for joining us on our freaky tail and don’t feel TOO bad if you end up sleeping with the lights on. I won’t judge – much. Until next time….…

Frankenstein Read Aloud: Episode Three 39:40

This episode covers Chapters 8 through 10 Click the link to follow along with the story at home! Intro: Hello again! It’s me, Hannah. We are back with episode 3 of Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus. As you know, we like to share a fun fact or story before we get into the read aloud and this one isn’t for the faint of heart. Did you know that Percy Shelley’s heart refused to burn? After his death in a boating accident off the coast of Italy, his body was cremated. But his heart had calcified and remained intact (it’s speculated that this was due to a bout with tuberculosis earlier in his life). Mary Shelley took the calcified heart of her beloved husband, and kept it with her for many years. It was even found in her possession when the died! [1] Creepy! Devoted, but still, creepy. With that being said, let’s get to it. Sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy. Outro: End of episode 3. Thanks again for tuning in! Join us next week where Georgia regales us with the woe’s of this wretched monster…. Until then….

This episode covers Chapters 4 through 7 Click the link to follow along with the story at home! Intro: Hello again! It’s me, Hannah. We are back with episode 2 of Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus. As you know, we like to share a fun fact or story before we get into things so here is this week’s. Most of you have probably heard from someone particularly annoying (or been that annoying person, I won’t judge I’m going to be her right now!) but the monster isn’t named Frankenstein – the scientist is. But did you know that the monster doesn’t actually have a name? He is referred to as wretch, creature, monster, and even just It throughout the book. The lack of respect really does start to make certain things …. Make more sense. In any case, let’s get right into it! Sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy. Outro: End of episode 3. Thanks again for tuning in! Join us next week for the trial of a lifetime where we discover the fate of poor Victor Frankenstein and his family. Until then ….…

Frankenstein Read Aloud: Episode One 1:04:57

1:04:57

This episode covers the Preface through Chapter 3 Link to follow along with the story at home! Intro: Hello everyone and welcome to the first episode of the Camrose Public Library’s 2022 read aloud! My name is Hannah, and I cannot wait to spend the next 7 weeks with you all. Ironically, it was ‘The Year Without a Summer’ which sparked the inception of our summer selection. Mary and Percy Shelley were vacationing in Switzerland with their friends – John William Polidori and Lord Byron – in the abnormally dreary summer of 1816. Trapped inside and ceaselessly bored, Lord Byron proposed that the four of them compete to see who could write the best ghost story. The pressure of the competition left Mary Shelley with horrible writer’s block and a listless slate of ideas she couldn’t do much about. After weeks of deliberation and listening in on philosophical debates between the other members of the house, particularly about the nature of humanity, Mary Shelley was struck with the idea that would ultimately become Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus. Make sure to keep the lights on as we delve into this creepy tale! Sit back, grab a snack, and I hope you enjoy. Outro: End of episode one. Thank you for listening! Join Georgia next week to see where our dear Victor Frankenstein’s studies take him next … until then.…
