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.

Women's Fightback 33 — Trump, Putin's Russia, Israel/Palestine, the "manosphere" and alt-right, culture & more 3:12:25

3:12:25

Women's Fightback 33, Winter/Spring 2025. With Trump back in office, and the far right ascendant across large partsof the world, the challenges facing socialists and feminists are starker than ever. In this issue we hear about the fight for democracy in Putin's Russia, from a military refuser in Israel building the opposition to the occupation of Palestine, and about socialists in the US trying to reorient and rebuild. We explore the 'manosphere' and the alt-right pipeline radicalising young men in the UK, the impact that pornography is having on our sexual horizons, and much more besides – with our usual mix of history, culture, and poetry. Enjoy! Articles: Trump's New World Order Gregg Wallace Building an independent socialist left Organise with us for abortion rights Israel's "fucked generation" takes on the occupation Poland's war on women Trying to make power out of hatred and destruction Dispatches from Ukraine The Manosphere Exposing the realities of pornography Un Violador en tu Camino (A rapist in your path) Trans Strike Back!
