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.

In this interview, Kyriakos connected with Wulf Glatz, the founder of CORE, to discuss his wearable technology that tracks the core body temperature to optimize athlete performance. Here are some of the highlights of the conversation: Glatz explains that unlike skin temperature, which varies a lot, core temperature gives a reliable measure of someone's physiological state. He shares a pivotal moment - watching athlete Sarah True collapse from heat stroke at the 2019 Ironman World Championship. This showed the need for better heat safety in sports. It spurred Glatz to adapt CORE to help athletes manage heat through new training methods. More about CORE More about Wulf -- More about Terra More Podcasts…

In our recent podcast, we had an in-depth conversation with Ray from DC Rainmaker. Ray shared the journey of launching the most well-known blog and Youtube channel and his views on the wearable market.As he began using various wearable devices, his experience with an old Polar watch led him to the more recognizable Garmin Forerunner 305. This progression from user to reviewer was natural, and he detailed his first steps into blogging with a review of Garmin in 2007.Ray also offered a candid look at the competitive landscape of wearables. He spoke about ambitious but short-lived brands and why they struggled against the likes of Garmin. Much of this was attributed to the steep challenges new brands face when trying to innovate and meet the benchmark set by established brands.Our discussion also ventured into the software realm. Ray pointed out that while Garmin's hardware is impeccable, its software has historically lagged. He attributes this in part to Garmin's hiring practices and their decision related to acquiring and integrating MotionBased, which inadvertently gave Strava an edge in the platform world.The Blog, The Youtube channel, Ray's Twitter, --TERRA, More Podcasts,Twitter,LinkedIn…
