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.

Ashwin Jacob on PLAYBOY PARTIES & BAR SHOWS - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 264 1:04:02

منذ 51 weeks1:04:02

1:04:02

Ashwin has a wild story -- born to Indian immigrants in a rough outskirt of Boston, Ashwin found his way to Hollywood in the most unlikely of ways: by bringing hot women to the Playboy mansion parties when he was still a teenager with a fake passport from Ghana. 4 years into standup, Ashwin is creating and producing and hustling in a way that should be an inspiration/ wakeup call to anyone trying to break into this business that is show. ENJOY!…

WE'RE BACK! Tommy comes by the yard and they tackle a wide range of questions: is Trump that much worse than Biden? Is religion necessary for a functioning society? Have liberals gone too far? And is pedophilia increasing in America? Bill and Tommy discuss the plethora of movies, documentaries and streaming series about pedophilia rings and famous pedophiles. Bill, as a parent of a two year old, wonders what he can do to protect her, and IF the problem is not as prevalent as right-wing media might want you to think. Finally, for fun, they talk about Tommy's uncircumcised penis and whether or not it contributed to his premature ejaculation problem. ENJOY!…

1:11:28

With a little bribery, the elusive Tommy Wakefield comes by the yard to talk about his current interracial relationship, how it's encouraged him to delve into the systemic resistance to miscegenation in American history, and how it's forced him to learn how to "catch ass" (i.e. properly receive a twerk on the dance floor). Also, Bill gets mad he doesn't have anyone to talk sh#t about the Barbie movie with. ENJOY!…

منذ 2 years1:50:43

Monarey Martinez comes to the yard to discuss her rising career in comedy as she comes close to her decade mark. Monarey's background and backstory are at once fascinating, unique, and utterly horrific. The result is Monarey adopting a no-apologies stance towards standup and life. Great listen for anyone who deals with adversity and evil men. (That's everyone, btw). Bill also FINALLY gets to discuss with Monarey WHY he hated the "Barbie" movie so much. ENJOY!…

Matt Rife REDUX - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 256 1:00:17

منذ 2 years1:00:17

1:00:17

NOTE FROM BILL: Matt Rife isn't the "next big thing." Matt Rife is the CURRENT big thing. Few comedians in history have hit the zeitgeist the way that Matt has in 2023. A little over a year ago, Matt had a video go viral on Tiktok, and the rest, as they, is history. But Matt is far from being a Tiktok comedian and far from being an overnight sensation. Matt has been a focused student of the craft since he was 16, sneaking onto comedy stages in Ohio, and then later New York, where I first met him as a teenager and put him on shows of mine at the now-defunct Times Square Laugh Factory. Years later, I was lucky enough to have Matt feature for me, and whenever I had to drop out of a headlining gig, I would say "Hey, hire this kid Matt." Many of us knew early on that Matt was an incredibly rare combination of perseverance, drive, looks, and talent, and it was only a matter of time before he hit big. However, I think only Matt himself was able to imagine the rarefied air in which he now finds himself -- already flirting with the cultural iconography of Eddie, Pryor, Chappelle, Dane, Dice, and hey, maybe ELVIS? Love him or hate him, Matt isn't going anywhere, and is only poised to be bigger and bigger, until he hits the ultimate entertainment zenith - that is, being an Avenger or a judge on "The Masked Singer." So check out this interview from an earlier, simpler time, when Matt was still my feature, but knew he was destined for much, much bigger things.... Godspeed, Rife! And enjoy the ride, old friend...…

Ariel Kashanchi on REPRESSED MEMORY, MUSHROOMS & MAKING YOUR WAY - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 255 1:15:05

منذ 2 years1:15:05

1:15:05

Ariel Kashanchi is a comedian, producer, and writer. She stops by the yard after Bill smokes a giant "Jeter" joint (OOOPS!) and they go down an interesting but dark path of childhood trauma, abuse, and repressed memory that may be shocking for some listeners. Ariel is very frank about the trials of her upbringing escaping from Iran on horseback as a baby to moving in with her assassin uncle in Kansas City until finding landing in Los Angeles. Despite her tribulations, Ariel has managed to turn her pain into authentic comedy and has found a way to give some inexplicably dark times meaning and purpose with her words and story. If you have ever been a victim of physical and/or sexual abuse, particularly familial abuse, this episode may be triggering, but also very powerful and edifying. I PROMISE there is also some yuk-yuks! ENJOY!…

Tommy & Bill on BLACK WOMEN, BALLS & BAD LIES - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 254 1:46:54

منذ 2 years1:46:54

1:46:54

After a long hiatus, Tommy comes by the yard to talk about life, love, and pursuit of black women. First of all, is having a "racial preference" count as racism, and also, is Bill only maintaining his spot on "QUAKE'S HOUSE" by positioning himself as a caucasian brother who has a sweet tooth when it comes to love. From there, the podcast segues to the evil magic of testicles, and what exactly IS the role of masculinity in 2023. This one is FUN! No debate. No politics. Just two lost crackas trying to navigate life out in these streets. ENJOY! AND RATE, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE PLEASE! .…

1:40:23

Rachel McMillen is a comic, producer, and lawyer-in-training from Houston, Texas, who has worked with Bill both in Austin and Houston. Rachel comes by Bill's trailer in Austin to discuss her WILD ride of a life - going from being a model student to a black tar heroin addict to a comic, CEO, and paralegal being involved in some of the most impactful cases in modern-day American. Rachel is a great example of how faith and belief in yourself can literally and figuratively pull yourself out of the gutter. If you have issues with addiction or mental health, Rachel's story should serve as an inspiration to anyone looking to follow their dreams. This is a MUST LISTEN! ENJOY!…

Dana May Jamison on THE SEARCH FOR SOUL - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 252 1:06:00

منذ 2 years1:06:00

1:06:00

Dana May Jamison (actress, writer, producer) comes by the yard after their very "interesting" experience on the set of an upcoming Christmas movie to discuss what the f$&k it's all about. Dana discusses her upcoming docuseries "The Search for Soul," where she travels to various BLUE ZONES (look it up) in the world to discover what elements create a healthy, thriving, abundant community where life expectancy and reported happiness far exceed any place (probably) that you've ever been. Dana had a challenging childhood which fuels her need for adventure and philanthropy. But DON'T WORRY -- this episode is mostly fun and funny! ENJOY!…

BILL DAWES & GARY FAUST on WHY AUSTIN HATES LA - The Afterlaugh - Ep. 250 1:53:22

منذ 2 years1:53:22

1:53:22

Gary Faust (of Faust Media) takes Bill out of his cozy AUSTIN trailer in the driveway and convinces Bill to interview him for the Afterlaugh, since they are two friends who don't really know much about each other. The result is a wild, three hour conversation that is at once brilliant and prophetic and dull and pathetic. We spill a lot of tee as Bill secretly reveals his anger and jealousy of NOT being included at all in the burgeoning Joe Rogan scene coming out of Austin. And Gary tries to convince Bill that COMICS are the NEW ROCK STARS! (Uh, they're not). Plus, is Bill more of an actor or more of a comic, and which is worse to be... ENJOY!…
