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.

Beach Commute has launched a database of 300+ fully-remote companies that let you work from anywhere!

This is the result of 3+ years of filtering through tens of thousands of companies from remote job boards, LinkedIn, and Beach Commute's personal and professional networks.

Only about 1% of remote job listings you find on job boards ACTUALLY let you work from anywhere. Most companies come with a catch: Geographical location restrictions, hybrid requirements, or quarterly meetups.

Each company goes through a rigorous review and rating criteria by Beach Commute experts to ensure that each company in the database is 100% work from anywhere and will be an awesome place to work.

Along with requirements to be a "work from anywhere organization", each company listing is also rated and contains key information on a few critical factors:

Employee perks: Laptops, unlimited PTO, 4 day work weeks, etc.
Peer reviews: What employees are actually saying about working for the company.
Company culture: The type of environment the company fosters for its employees. How much do they care about their employees?!
Remote culture: How much does the company embody a remote culture as part of their business model?

Access to the Anywhere Atlas database also comes with daily company and job listing alerts sent straight to your inbox so that you never miss the hottest new companies and opportunities.
