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.

Table Talk Episode 008: The Klaus Teuber Spectacular! 54:43

منذ عامين54:43

54:43

It took us a while to get our meeply asses in gear, but we (Alice, Bailey, David, Taylor, and Victoria) finally managed to get together in one (virtual) place and pay tribute to Klaus Teuber, designer of CATAN (originally The Settlers of Catan ) and one of modern Eurogaming’s OG’s. After starting off with the usual “what we’ve been playing”, we share our earliest memories of CATAN and other Teuber favorites, discuss CATAN ’s role as a gateway game and whether it’s still the gateway game, whether it still stands up design-wise today, and end off by comparing our favorite CATAN variants. On the way we also talk about the following games: Ticket to Ride Hoplomachus: Victorum Dixit Kinoko CATAN Histories: Struggle For Rome Settlers of the Stone Age CATAN Histories: Settlers of America: Trails to Rails Fairy Trails Wacky Wacky West Machi Koro Space Base Read our latest musings on Tabletop games and culture at www.dailyworkerplacement.com .
