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.

The proposed Trump budget is the exact opposite of what our economy needs. The greedy liars who have proposed it either 1) don't understand economics, or 2) are lying to steal our money. A little of column A, a little of column B.

Let's Talk Soil Economics - After A Run Through the News Jungle 28:34

منذ 7 years28:34

It's been a few days since the last one, so I run through some news you might have missed. Verizon will pocket its tax cut. Exxon quintupled its profit. Student debt is dragging down the economy, and young people are unionizing. Finally, let's talk about a plan I call "Soil Economics" https://heavy.com/news/2018/02/risks-costs-private-water-lead-poison/ https://www.themaven.net/beingliberal/room/verizon-will-pocket-tax-cut-savings-not-create-better-network-or-jobs-KshzJNl4zEu6eyAOM7JPkQ https://bangordailynews.com/2018/02/05/business/ll-bean-starts-employee-buyouts-ends-pension-plan/ http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-20150531-story.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/02/02/exxon-mobil-profit-trump-tax-cut/300076002/ http://www.epi.org/publication/biggest-gains-in-union-membership-in-2017-were-for-younger-workers/ http://www.cnn.com/2018/02/11/health/aetna-california-investigation/index.html http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/lets-cancel-everyones-student-debt-for-the-economys-sake.html https://www.wvgazettemail.com/life/historian-shines-light-on-region-s-forgotten-history-of-slaves/article_a5dcfb35-fd5f-50c7-9b06-51f456cde046.html…

In America, Fines are Fine for the Rich - but Prison for the Poor 39:12

منذ 7 years39:12

39:12

In a lengthy rant, I talk about the criminalization of poverty, and how that leads to big profits for private prisons and other companies that exploit prison labor. On the other hand, if you're rich in America, you grin and ask for your bank to be fined. With enough money, a prison sentence isn't social death - it's a springboard for a senate run! https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/02/09/384968360/jail-time-for-unpaid-court-fines-and-fees-can-create-cycle-of-poverty https://www.npr.org/series/313986316/guilty-and-charged http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/43412-jailing-the-poor-for-fines-and-bail-is-a-government-operated-loan-shark-operation http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/43453-yes-lots-of-people-go-to-jail-because-they-can-t-pay-a-fine http://www.hcn.org/issues/49.8/how-the-booming-business-of-private-prisons-came-to-be http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2017/09/slavery-prison-system-170901082522072.html https://www.npr.org/2018/01/30/581778796/er-use-goes-down-as-hospital-program-pays-homeless-peoples-rent https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/06/us/baltimore-police-corruption.html https://www.wvgazettemail.com/opinion/gazette_opinion/op_ed_commentaries/troy-n-miller-it-was-never-about-the-drugs-and/article_674a982f-4639-5741-ba8c-a60bb9a3e872.html http://www.businessinsider.com/jamie-dimon-said-he-could-afford-fines-2015-3 https://www.salon.com/2018/02/05/mick-mulvaneys-cfpb-gives-up-on-equifax-probe/ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/11/ex-con-coal-baron-don-blankenship-is-running-for-u-s-senate.html…

The Flu, Or: How Greedy Employers Kill Grandmothers 16:54

Today we talk about the flu; how climate change plays a role; how the absence of paid sick leave in America leads to epidemics; and, ultimately how greedy employers kill grandmothers. http://time.com/5105929/why-is-the-flu-so-bad-2018/ https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/02/03/581805417/the-liberian-elbow-bump-is-your-good-friend-during-flu-season https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130128142847.htm https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24045424 https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-ebola-policy-hamper-fight/…
