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.

I'm reposting my conversation with Steve. The original show notes didn't publish only my bulleted notes about what I wanted to say.

Steve's experience with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Disney on Ice are prime examples of bringing ideas from outside of your typical industry playbook to use in your situation. You bring a solution from another world to bear on your business. In this case, Steve used lessons from his time in amusements to create thinking that elevated the DSO's business. We discuss trends in the business. Steve talks about the pricing issues. I bring up dealing with brokers. And, a lot more. www.tcgent.com www.cirquemusica.com On Wednesday, October 2nd, I'm hosting a "Strategy 101" webinar.
