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.

Did you know that the Evergreen State leads the nation in reported sightings of the legendary Bigfoot? The Evergreen State has also served as the birthplace of the term "Flying Saucer" when a reporter misquoted a pilot who spotted something very strange in the skies near Mt. Rainier, as well as the term "Men in Black." Tales of creatures lurking in our deep waters have also persisted since before settlers arrived, and have continued up until the present.
All of these and more will be discussed today in this final episode of Spooky Season.
Next week brings a return to standard episode formats, this time looking at the long history of Kalama.

منذ عام واحد18:00

From 1901 until 1905, Henry G. McBride was the fourth governor of Washington state. He was first elected lieutenant governor in 1900, and when Governor John Rogers passed away in December of 1901, he was appointed governor. The majority of historians believe his tenure was stable and effectively run. His support for a powerful commission to oversee the state's railroads at a time when their owners held significant sway over the legislature is what most people remember about him, and it cost him the Republican nomination for reelection in 1904. The only governor in the state to hold the role without ever being elected, McBride unsuccessfully sought the executive's chair again in 1908 and in 1916. Listen now to learn more about this fascinating character in the Evergreen State's political history!

168- Kalama on the Mighty Columbia 24:55

منذ عام واحد24:55

24:55

Cowlitz County's Kalama is a small city situated beside the Columbia River. By the 1850s, non-Indian settlers were moving into the region. The town had prosperity after becoming the Cowlitz County seat in 1872, but then the Northern Pacific Railway relocated its corporate headquarters from Kalama to Tacoma, causing a severe economic setback. July 16, 1890, saw the incorporation of Kalama. The Port of Kalama was founded in 1920 and subsequently went on to rank among the top five ports on the West Coast for the shipment of dry bulk cargo. Kelso became the county seat in 1922, which was yet another setback for the town. Kalama experiences frequent floods; the worst happened in 1948, when three feet of water submerged downtown shops. Listen now to learn more about the former County Seat of Cowlitz County! A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.

166- John H. McGraw 14:00

منذ عام واحد14:00

14:00

In 1892, John H. McGraw was elected as the second governor of the Evergreen State. At the age of 26, he traveled from Maine to Seattle in the 1870s and found employment as an Occidental Hotel clerk. His career in politics, business, and law enforcement in the Pacific Northwest began when he enlisted in Seattle's small police department. His path took him from chief of police to sheriff of King County; in 1886, he was involved in the anti-Chinese riots. He then pursued his legal studies and was quite quickly a Republican candidate for governor. During his tenure as governor, he backed both the Lake Washington Ship Canal Project and the University of Washington. He participated in the 1897 gold rush after serving as governor, then after failing to strike it rich, though his health made a drastic upturn, he went back to Seattle and entered the real estate market. Listen now to learn more about one of Washington's most interesting governors! A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.
