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.

Often I find myself mindlessly scrolling on a phone when I could be writing or creating something of my own. I get caught up in the entertainment of others instead of using my abilities for something constructive and good. I have journaled for a good while but never achieved the consistency I think is needed to be effective. This episode discusses how I plan to fix that and write more in 2025. I hope you enjoy the show!

Why You Should LISTEN To Books and How To RETAIN What you Read 7:42

منذ 29 يومًا7:42

Send us a text Listening to books can be just as impactful and important as reading books. There are so many benefits to listening to books, such as hearing the names and places pronounced correctly and the convenience of consuming books while completing other tasks. Audiobooks also allow you to remember the narration and the sound of the characters to stick out in your mind more. If you read and listen to a book, you will have a deeper understanding of the book than you would have by just doing one or the other. You retain what you read much better. I truly hope you enjoy this video and listen to some books!

Rousseau's Social Contract Theory Explained | How It Still Relates To Us - Book Review 27:28

منذ 5 weeks27:28

27:28

Send us a text I truly hope you enjoy my review of the Social Contract by Rousseau. He is a fantastic writer and very enjoyable to read, especially regarding philosophy. His work, in my opinion, is still in the process of being lived out and proven. This means this work is very current, and he discusses many of the issues we face in the book. Below are a few main points about the Social Contract. General Will: The core concept, where citizens, by collectively deciding what is best for the community, essentially "obey themselves" when following laws based on the general will. Natural Freedom vs. Civil Liberty: People are naturally free, but by entering the social contract, they surrender some individual freedoms in exchange for the benefits of civil society and the protection of laws based on the general will. Direct Democracy: To ensure the general will is accurately reflected, Rousseau advocated for a system where citizens directly participate in decision-making, not through representatives. Sovereignty of the People: The ultimate power lies with the people, not with a monarch or ruling class, and they have the right to revolt if the government deviates from the general will. Equality among Citizens: Rousseau emphasized the importance of equality among citizens within the social contract, where everyone should have an equal say in shaping the laws.

The HARDEST BOOK I Ever Read and ... How ANYONE Can Read It 6:43

Send us a text Today we discuss the hardest book I have read, what I learned, and how anyone can read hard books. Some books are more challenging than others but that should not stop us from reading them. Paradise Lost is a book that challenges you as a reader on many levels. The poem is written in blank verse in iambic pentameter. The poem makes music when read correctly which allows the poem to have a charm and enchantment I have never experienced in any other book. Not to mention the devil shows up in many of the details such as the numerology and symbology.

Why Plato's Republic STILL Matters | Are You Lost In The Cave? 21:03

منذ 22 weeks21:03

21:03

Send us a text Why Plato’s Republic Is Still Important Plato's "Republic" explores justice, the ideal state, and the nature of the soul through a dialogue led by Socrates. The work is structured as a discussion among several characters, primarily Socrates and Glaucon. Key themes include: 1. Justice: Socrates seeks to define justice, arguing that it is about harmony in both the state and the individual. Justice involves each part fulfilling its role. 2. The Ideal State: Plato outlines a tripartite society: rulers (philosopher-kings), warriors, and producers. Each class corresponds to a part of the soul: rational, spirited, and appetitive. 3. The Allegory of the Cave: This metaphor illustrates the difference between the world of appearances and the world of forms (true reality). It suggests that many people live in ignorance, mistaking shadows for reality. 4. Theory of Forms: Plato posits that non-material abstract forms (like beauty and justice) are the most real, as they represent true knowledge. 5. Education: The importance of education in shaping the soul and preparing individuals for their roles in society is emphasized, particularly for future leaders. Overall, "Republic" is a foundational text in Western philosophy, posing deep questions about ethics, governance, and the human condition. I hope you enjoy the video 1.
