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.

Recently, Chris led a group of ministry leaders to Israel. More than a sightseeing tour, this trip provided a deeply meaningful opportunity for Christians to love and support God’s Chosen People, beleaguered citizens of a country still at war. While in Israel, Chris spoke with several individuals to gain a clear picture of the difficulties so many displaced Israelis have ...

What does truly God-honoring ministry look like? Here’s a hint: It involves less speaking and more doing! In Leviticus 8, when Moses ordained Aaron and his sons to serve as the high priests of Israel, God directed him to place the blood of the ram sacrifice on specific parts of their bodies—their ears, thumbs, and toes. This divine order may ... Read More The post Leviticus 8: The Ordination of the High Priests of Israel | February 22, 2025 appeared first on The Friends of Israel Today Radio .…

The Rapture is one of God’s greatest scriptural promises to us. It provides great hope and comfort for believers who look to heaven and await the day the Lord will descend to meet believers in Jesus—both those dead and alive—in the air and bring them to heaven with Him. Yet, some Christians reject this comforting truth, being unconvinced by what ...

Last week, we analyzed religious antisemitism—the hatred of Jewish people for their religious practices and beliefs. This week, we’re taking a look at another evil form of Jewish hatred: racial antisemitism. Unlike religious persecution, which theoretically offers an escape through conversion, racial discrimination against the Jewish people permits no escape. Chris shares an excellent explanation of this deadly sin and ... Read More The post Antisemitism, Part 2 of 3 | February 1, 2025 appeared first on The Friends of Israel Today Radio .…

For thousands of years, humanity has fallen prey to a deadly sin: antisemitism. This hatred of the Jewish people takes many forms. This week, we’ll study religious antisemitism, which many carry out because they believe Jewish practices and beliefs prevent peace and progress.
