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.

On this episode, the boys had on Michael Ottesen! Michael is a 2:15 marathoner training in Provo, Utah. He is well-known for his popular YouTube channel where he shares his training and racing journey. You will often see Michael training with Adam Wood, Connor Mantz, and Clayton Young!

We had Michael on at a great time. In December, he had a huge breakthrough in the marathon at CIM running a 3 minute PR of 2:15. We got the race recap and also how Michael was able to figure out his issues with cramping he had dealt with in all his prior marathons.

Michael has aspirations of faster times (next goal is 2:12!) and a professional contract, but right now he is working full-time as an engineer, training at a high level, and a father of 2! We talked a day in the life and how he makes it all work with his busy schedule.

This episode was a lot of fun for us, Michael was an awesome guest. Make sure you check out his socials below to continue following his journey!
