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 Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.

This week, our dear friend Adam from The Secret History of Hollywood, Attaboy Clarence and The Labours of Hercule podcasts joins Scott, Paul and Charlie to discuss a movie that we vowed we would never watch again!

An episode filled with fun and laughter (bizarre when you consider the subject matter) as well as technical hitches and cock ups.

Irreversible (2002)

Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass. Her boyfriend and ex-lover take matters into their own hands by hiring two criminals to help them find the rapist so that they can exact revenge. A simultaneously beautiful and terrible examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect, and how time destroys everything.

" Take the underpass. It's safer.”

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 This week join Scott, Paul, and Charlie as we discuss Frederick Forsythe's tale of an assassin out to kill French President de Gaulle, while a detective races to stop him in a tense cat-and-mouse chase. The Day Of The Jackal (1973) "The Day of the Jackal" (1973) is a tense political thriller centered on an assassination plot against French President Charles de Gaulle. The story follows a mysterious and highly skilled assassin, known only as the Jackal (Edward Fox) , hired by a paramilitary group seeking to eliminate de Gaulle due to his controversial policies towards Algeria. As the Jackal meticulously plans the operation, he adopts various disguises and utilizes advanced tactics to evade detection. Meanwhile, French authorities, alerted to the potential threat, assign a determined police detective, Claude Lebel, to track down the assassin. The film intricately weaves suspense as Lebel races against time, piecing together clues to prevent the assassination. With its gripping narrative and realistic portrayal of espionage and counter-terrorism efforts, "The Day of the Jackal" explores themes of political intrigue and the relentless pursuit of justice, culminating in a dramatic climax that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. "You must understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime job, whoever does it can never work again..."

"I suppose you think you got the better of us there. But just remember, kidder, you're in for ten years." "Yeah, that's right, Mr. Pendel. But you're in for life, ain't yer?"

This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to take a look at an American cop classic from the seventies Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon. Electra Glide In Blue (1973) The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen ( Robert Blake ) wants is to become a detective. To wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes the case - and proves he's got the right stuff. But as soon as he's promoted, he finds that the corruption he must tolerate makes his Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, and makes another shocking discovery that could cost him his life. "I hate that motorcycle they make me ride. I'm here to tell you there ain't nothing in the world I hate worse than that elephant under my ass."

Trading Places (1983) Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke.

When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him. "Hey, bubbles, man! Say man, when I was growing up, if we wanted a jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub."

This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to look back at a movie that we first chatted about in 2013 Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon. An episode full of Grouch Marx lookalikes, thousands of used dollar bills, the neighbour from Home Improvement and fond memories from a great friend. The Taking Of Pelham 123 (1974) Four seemingly unrelated men board subway train Pelham 1:23 at successive stations. Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey and Mr. Brown are heavily armed and overpower the motorman and novice conductor to take control of the train. Between stations they separate the front car from the remainder of the train, setting passengers in the back cars and the motorman free. The four demand $1 million ransom within exactly one hour for the remaining eighteen hostages, including the conductor. If their demands are not met in time or their directions are not followed precisely, they will begin to shoot hostages dead, one every minute the money is late. Wisecracking Lt. Zach Garber of the transit police ends up being the primary communicator between the hijackers and the authorities, which includes transit operations, his own police force, the NYPD, and the unpopular and currently flu ridden mayor who will make the ultimate decision of whether to pay the ransom. Unknown to Garber, what may be working on their side is the disparate nature of the four hijackers, including methodical and unbending Blue, trigger happy Grey, and also under the weather Green, who may pass out before the caper has concluded. What Garber does know is that there is a plain clothes NYPD officer among the eighteen hostages. What Garber has to try and figure out is how the four hijackers can possibly get away, as they are in a tunnel and have to remain with the train since it has a dead-man mechanism which requires a motorman at the controls at all times.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us. This week, Cev from Film Guff, House of Hammer, and Here Lies Amicus, joins us to chat about one of his favourite movies of all time. Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) In the swift, cynical Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster stars as the vicious Broadway gossip columnist J. J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falco, the unprincipled press agent Hunsecker ropes into smearing the up-and-coming jazz musician romancing his beloved sister. Featuring deliciously unsavory dialogue, in an acid, brilliantly structured script by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, and noirish neon cityscapes from Oscar-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is a cracklingly cruel dispatch from the kill-or-be-killed wilds of 1950s Manhattan. " The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river."
