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.

This week’s question: Why’s Halloween such a big deal?
This week’s quote: “I was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which may have led to my lifelong love of unwieldy costumes.”
SOLO PODCAST TIME! I talk real fast and get real frustrated. Listen in for the one key item missing from this year’s Halloween costume (hint: it’s a fishing vest), couples costume ideas, a spontaneous commercial for razors, and the very professional-sounding theme song for the hit fictional show “Everything is Raymond!”
Everything is Raymond
by Patrick World
Well everything is Raymond
Raymond’s everyone you meet
He could be in a Cadillac
Or sleeping in the street
Cuz everything is Raymond
He’s your husband, he’s your wife
He’s the patriarchal paradigm
That wrecks your so-called life
Well everything is Raymond
Raymond’s everything that be
Cuz everything is Raymond even me…
That’s cuz everything’s Raymond, Raymond!
That’s cuz everything’s Raymond, Raymond!

44:35

This week’s question: How do people make friends? This week’s quote: “I’m just in this shell of self-created weirdness.” Comedian and Haus of Bot member Candice Gregoris and I try to figure how people make friends. Candice has some great ideas (pretend to be more confident than you are!) while I spiral into overthinking exactly how to pronounce the word “hello.” Plus, bonus inspirational talk!…

منذ 9 years1:08:55

1:08:55

This week’s question: What’s up with jealousy, man? This week’s quote: “Jealousy has the worst rap of all the emotions.” Individual and relationship counselor and my actual buddy Philippa Klein gives us a new way to think about jealousy in relationships. Lots of gems in here, including how stress can be good for you (!), some radical notions about how to take on difficult emotions, and, of course, the jealousy kitten. Plus, tons of listener feedback!

1:04:26

This week: Listener questions! It’s a special edition of Questionable Advice! This week’s quote: “People will ask, ‘What are you into?’ ANYTHING! ANYTHING AT ALL! I’m open-minded to the point of being boring sexually.” Comedian of note Asaf Gerchak joins me to answer your questions and solve your lives. We tell you how to de-stress, what not to eat in front of other people, where to meet age-appropriate lesbians, why you’re not friends with your exes, and what to name the excavators in your yard. Probably, though, you just need to get some eucalyptus in you. That oughta fix it.…

#69 • Johanna • Hair 1:03:14

منذ 9 years1:03:14

1:03:14

This week’s question: Why are we so freaked out by body hair? This week’s quote: “That is my life’s ambition: to come out of a tub, with my hair past my nip nips.” My girlfriend and I jumped on the mics for all things body hair! From the top of our heads to the tips of our toes (yikes), we cover it all. Find out how Robin Hood: Men in Tights had an unexpected impact on Johanna, how a segway made us question reality, and what “dirty little man legs” really means. Plus, listener feedback!…

#68 • Jeff Winer • Conflict 1:10:04

منذ 9 years1:10:04

1:10:04

This week’s question: Why are you so conflicted? This week’s quote: “That’s part of the burden of being a person.” Okay, nerds, listen up. I talked to a 5th year clinical psychology PhD student (and improviser!) and it’s intense. Get schooled on conflict, “theory of change” (air quotes very important), cortisol, thought-action fusion, and the power of passively drooling into tubes in a lab setting. Oh, and what Syrian refugees might be going through. Just some light listening! As Jeff says, “Psychology is awesome!”…

33:57

This week’s question: There is none! It’s solo podcast time! This week’s quote: “The price of peace is never to high to pay.” Holy crap, you guys. I rambled on for OVER AN HOUR by myself in the car from upstate New York to Canada. And all the while, my engine light was on and I drove through a mini-blizzard. It’s all here if you want it: Ani Difranco, racism, hedgehogs, grumpy old men, and so much more!…

#64 • Nile Seguin • End Times 29:51

منذ 9 years29:51

29:51

This week’s question: Are we in the end times? This week’s quote: “In 2015, when I can watch porn on my phone and there’s still people dying in the streets, that’s insane.” Oh my goodness, you guys. Nile Seguin and I get into it this week. What you’re hearing is actually hour two of our conversation marathon. Nile details a potential future where we all eat protein-packed locusts, schools me on Elon Musk, and talks shit to Stephen Hawking. Turns out Nile is quite optimistic about us humans! Me…well, you’ll see. (Please don’t be mad; I didn’t mean it personally.)…

47:54

This week’s question: What are you so worried about? This week’s quote: “”I have to choose between these two things that are almost exactly the same but if I choose the wrong one, then everything’s gonna explode.” Natalie Miller is a go-get-em, kick-ass, fun, smart and hilarious person who (along with Nathan Hartswick of episode 45 ) just opened a god damn comedy club in Burlington, Vermont. And, a lot of the time, she’s anxious as heck. She’s working on that, though. She’s here to tell you what she’s so worried about, how she deals with it, and how Tina Fey helps.…

منذ 9 years50:47

50:47

This week’s question: Why are you a magnet for weirdos? This week’s quote: “So now I’m two-hand choking this man.” Hilarious, multifaceted and actual life-saving comedian Steph Tolev regales us with tales of the time a woman FELL FROM THE SKY and onto her body, her misadventures in wading pool supervising, and of course, Tinder. This lady has lived a life, and weirdos love her. You will too. Oh, and I issue a call for us to smash the patriarchy. Do with that what you will. (Please smash it, though.)…
