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.

Repost from @MintPressNews subscribe for more content like this. Hey! After many requests I have decided to focus on a primer for this incredibly complex, painful, and divisive conflict from a great-power politics perspective. I will soon be platforming Syrian analysts to give a more balanced perspective to this intractable conflict that is now taking center stage in the Geopolitical forum and is indelibly connected to the US and Israel.

The Democratic Comeback That Will Never Happen: An Epic 2hr Rant Against the DNC w/ I Am Blakeley 1:51:40

منذ 1 day1:51:40

1:51:40

So what we are talking about today is the state of the Democratic Party and how much they love to lose. If y’all took a break from the news cycle over the weekend you may have missed the story broken by politico about this DNC operative retreat where a bunch of democratic “strategists” gathered at an east coast resort to talk about how to win mid terms in 2026 and to take the Whitehouse in 2028 by doing the exact same thing they’ve been doing since 2015….

Trump and Zelensky Showdown: Liberal Media and European Establishment in Free Fall 1:04:01

منذ 3 أيام1:04:01

1:04:01

In the end, the shrieking chain-rattling ghost of Henry Kissinger is always right “It may be dangerous to be America enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” He also said “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.” Ukrainians and to a lesser extent Europeans are figuring out what it means to be Kurdish, and they are spiraling. Western Europeans, liberal elites and establishment figures are seeing the face the US presents to nations of the global south, and the truly shocking thing is they’re now getting the same treatment in a humiliating public way. We are joined today by Nick from Revolutionary Blackout Network: https://x.com/SocialistMMA…

I Won’t be recording from this crappy internet location again. Also get ready for run-on sentences.

Check us out of Patreon for more of this content: / colonialoutcasts That bizarre pneumatic human mouth sound you just heard was President Elon Musk shouting with masculine elation while wielding a chain saw gifted to him anarcho-capitalist, officially libertarian, Argentine President Javier Milei in front a cheering sycophantic MAGA horde at the CPAC conference yesterday, February 20th. This is generally Patreon-only episode, but I didn't want to paywall this one...…

Catastrophe in Gaza and What it Means for Medicine in the Post-Rules-Based Order w/ Dr. Mimi Syed 49:48

منذ 14 يومًا49:48

49:48

The Gaza ceasefire stands on the edge of a knife. This political and military reality brings back into focus, though it’s never gone away, the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the wake of the Israeli state policy of systematically dismantling medical infrastructure with the use of US weaponry and clumsily orchestrated direct action IDF raids on hospitals and hospital staff in the name of “finding Hamas.” To that end, we are joined by Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. She is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University. She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Dr.Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.

1:32:15

Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the Anti-imperialist podcast that has way too much crap to talk about and not enough time to do it. It is February 18th and we are seeing titanic policy shifts in Europe, and West Asia - East Asia as well, but we won’t have too much time for that as the Trump Administration takes a more aggressive diplomatic stance towards Taiwan Independence as the Island Nation, territory, whatever you consider it to be, explores $10bn US arms deal to secure Trump’s support. Trump being obsessed with countries paying their own defense budgets to his satisfaction. Anyways, today will be Lebanon, some developments in Syria, Palestine as Always, A brief post mortem on the Munich Security council that signals a landmark shift in European security architeure and a breaking of the trans Atlantic world, and the current peace talks in Riyadh between the US and Russia regarding the termination of the War in Ukraine. It’s a lot - and we a joined for our weekly geo-political round-up by Regular contributor Elina Xenophontos, no longer coming to us from Cyprus, instead the more inhospitable realm of Albion, specifically London.…

Imperialism in Crisis: Gaza, The War on BRICS and Trump's Geopolitical Mayhem 1:09:10

منذ 27 يومًا1:09:10

1:09:10

This episode was structured off of the article "Imperialism in Crisis: Gaza, Trade Wars and Trump's Geopolitical Mayhem" by Elina Xenophontos, joining us tonight from London, England. An unstable West Asia security situation has global ramifications and this talk about a voluntary mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza is unworkable, stilly, and as detached from reality as anything else the United States has done in the Levant over the past 20 years. Why is this scheme doomed to fail: well, we are going to do a whole geopolitical and economic round-up from “the periphery to the metropole." Lets get into it...

The US Will "Own" Gaza: Understanding Trump's Publicity Stunt 44:39

منذ 28 يومًا44:39

44:39

We weren’t going to do an episode today. They take a lot of research and prep, but we felt that we couldn’t not do an episode because President Orange Blob (aka Donal Drumpf) has said some completely asinine things, which he always does, but this instance is about Gaza. I spent a lot of last night talking to people who were rightly terrified by Trump’s remarks about the US occupying and controlling Gaza, but now is not the time to freak out - yet. So we are going to have a free-form conversation about it so allay some fears. Join us!…

Trump and Musk Assail South Africa: How Elites Have Mobilized “Whiteness” Since the Colonial Era 1:18:29

منذ 29 يومًا1:18:29

1:18:29

"Whiteness” is being used as it always has been: to separate exploited working class white people from intersectional solidarity and serve as buffer between marginalized peoples and the Elites. Today we are going to be talking about the new Trump administration and the driving force behind all their policies, its blitz of executive orders, the perverse need to control women’s bodies and their obsession with nativism - ie the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants. Now that American Nativism is extending to South Africa as President Trump Takes of the Cause of Elon Musk, child of South African Apartheid, who is upset that white Akfriaaners are being dispossessed of their lands (they’re really not) and threatens to cut funding to South Africa over an Issue that really has nothing to do with us. Just kidding, newsflash, Israel is involved. Mother Jones Article: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-trump-white-genocide-south-africa-aid-white-land-removal-twitter-x/…

Operation Iron Wall: Israel's War and Annexation in the Era of Trump 1:05:56

The thing I appreciated about the IOF is that they name their operations after their actual objectives: Operation Iron Wall = Operation increase apartheid. Today we discuss the new West Bank operation and the Palestinian Authority, which is neither Palestinian nor an Authority. Also we mention tech oligarchs. Cheers!…
