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.

Watch the Show on YouTube Listen to the Podcast: Subscribe to our “The Strain” Only Podcast Feed in iTunes On this recap, recorded LIVE on Sunday, August 10th, Josh Wigler (@RoundHoward) is joined by co-host, Antonio Mazzaro (@ACMazzaro), to recap episode 5 of The Strain: “Runaways”. Josh Wigler is joined tonight by Antonio Mazzaro. Josh thinks the show is starting to get real here. Unfortunately, Rob can no longer do recaps for the Strain moving forward in order to accommodate Big Brother over RHAP. They do hope this becomes a smooth transition though. Antonio says he’s on the Strain Train. Some vampire killing is what he wants to see. It’s great that Eph and Abraham are finally getting together for some vampire-slaying action. Corey Stoll with a nailgun is not so bad. The Wigler Wig Watch: They hope Corey is putting the hat on for the rest of the show. Josh is pretty down with the wig this week, saying it’s worse than it was last week especially in the scene at the end of the episode during Eph and Jim Kent’s scene. Unfortunately, it was so clear it was a wig. Hopefully, he will shave his head off eventually. Is it possible it’s because he’s gonna go smooth? Is he the character who can still hang on to his humanity? We’ll see. Which is a better weapon – nail gun vs. chain sword? Josh thinks there might be something more about the sword. Antonio would go for the sword. At this point, Josh is scared getting close to any vampires. He thinks the nail gun isn’t gonna kill anybody and not a lethal weapon against these vampires. Josh says Antonio cannot count on him and he might point the nail gun to his head before any vampire could attack him. He would be the last guy you could count on when it’s the end of the world. But then Antonio offered him some pizza and Josh says he’s coming back in without any hesitation at all. What Antonio thinks is making this show interesting is that aside from the unique kind of vampires which is nothing like those in other shows, he likes how this is being a coordinated campaign to really spread the virus. It’s planned and purposeful. Josh thinks Eichorst is not just dangerous for being a vampire but because he has a silver tongue. The monster thing is a witty, sharp, dangerous-thinking creature as well and Abraham spells that out tonight. The flashbacks of Abraham back in 1944 with Eichorst there – Antonio thinks we’re definitely not done here. Josh thinks this is the Chapter 1 in the story showing Abraham’s history with the vampires which is barely a taste. He wonders if this is going to be a big storyline. We don’t get much elaboration on Eichorst though. Although we can conclude here that Eichorst definitely hasn’t become a vampire here yet seeing that he could stay out in broad daylight. But he could be working with the vampires. At this point, not enough information is being divulged yet. Josh is fascinated with what Abraham revealed in the modern day that silver affects them since it’s the weakness of the werewolves. So there might be more in the can here. What’s for sure is that their expectations are being flipped. The Master manipulating things as an explanation as to why the four survived the flight which is for disinformation purposes is good. Antonio appreciates this. He likes how they are building the Master up into something. Ansel’s wife killing herself came as a surprise though. Antonio explains what’s the deal with the silver mirrors. Finishing off Eph’s storyline, Josh likes the scene under the shed when Eph goes in with the camera phone out and he’s shaking. He thinks it is so 2014. That is definitely what you would do in the modern day vampire world. Vampire may just go into doing selfies as well. So Eph records the assault against Ansel and it’s a surprise Ansel is gone too soon. What bugs Josh is that when Eph brings the video to his boss in the headquarters and then basically calls security and gets Eph arrested. Antonio likes this for being true to reality with a lot of bureaucracy involved. Here’s what’s interesting, the captain’s head didn’t get cut off nor was it set on fire. So who knows what’s gonna happen next? Dr. Everett Barnes is acting weird in this episode and there is a possibility that he’s a mole. At the old folk’s home with Nora and her mom. Josh says the storyline was kind of the snoozer of the night until there are vampire’s seen there, or rather “grandpires.” This goes to show that the virus is really spreading quickly. Josh is also disappointed with Vasiliy, rat-exterminator extraordinaire, expecting that he would’ve killed the vampires in the sewers but he runs away instead. He is looking forward to see Vasiliy hooking up with our heroes and get his full story. Joan seems to be slowly progressing compared to Gabe. So show people might be changing at different rates. For now, she still hasn’t lost her hair or her genitalia either. Josh thinks the way vampires eat people on the show is really nasty. Antonio doesn’t want to be part of that either. Every time the vampire’s tongue comes out, Josh is definitely happy. To cap it off, Josh and Antonio are happy with how the show is going. Subscribe to Post Show Recaps [saf]…

The Strain, Episode 4 Recap: “It’s Not for Everyone” 54:50

il y a 11 years54:50

54:50

Watch the Show on YouTube – RSVP for the Event Listen to the Podcast: Subscribe to our “The Strain” Only Podcast Feed in iTunes Rob Cesternino is joined by co-host, Josh Wigler, to recap episode 4 of The Strain: “It’s Not for Everyone”. The show starts with Rob asking about Josh’s reaction to the transformation that happened with Gabriel in last week’s episode and he thought it was silly and wonderful. While a lot of time was spent on Gabriel last week, much time is spent on Ansel in this week’s episode. Josh is fully endorsing the “where’s the pilot’s penis?” flashback episode. Eph and Abraham are finally on the same page. Now Eph’s finally hooked up with the vampire slayer. Josh imagines this is where we should be headed. Josh is also hoping to see more of the Nazi Eichorst. He adds that being a vampire and a Nazi would be the most terrifying combination. Dr. Nora seems to be drifting away from Eph’s cause since she says can’t bring herself to kill innocent people and Josh finds this frustrating considering that she was the first person who urged the squad to talk to Abraham and explore the possibilities and that she even survived two vampire attacks. And now that she’s no longer on board in doing what needs to be done just seems weird based on where she started. Josh thinks the show is super fun, gnarly, and really disgusting. It can be very funny but it also has got moments of intense drama. And now, for Wigler’s Wig Watch: Josh thinks we need to get used to it. We can’t get obsessed over it otherwise we’d go crazy. Rob says any time Corey Stoll’s hair is messed up, it’s interesting to look at. Ansel has been going through some changes as well as his wife, Annie. He has the foresight to get his wife and kids out of the house and she sends her away but asks her to leave Gertie with him. Rob wonders why dogs have to be killed in all serialized dramas. Josh suggests that it’s because we care about dogs more than we care about people so it’s a way of making us feel bad. A good move to punch us in the gut. When Annie comes home, she found the dog lying dead and she does this eulogy. Rob feels Annie has got some mental issues. She heads to the shed and finds Ansel. Ansel says the voices in his head are telling him to eat his wife if she doesn’t leave. Josh guesses the Master can speak to all of them. Josh thinks Ansel and Gabe (the ones who survived the plane crash) are of higher order than those vampires at the morgue. Then Trip Taylor enters the scene and Rob thinks this is a little over the top. The autopsy scene was a fun one. Eph’s motivation for not getting anybody else involved in the situation is that he is just not trusting anybody because nobody believes him. The top three things from the autopsy that grosses out Josh are: the lack of genitalia, removing the six-foot python of a tongue, and fart and ammonia. That scene of Eph punching Jim in the face is a little weak for Josh because just one punch for a guy who ended human civilization is just not enough justice. Although Josh imagines a horrible demise is in Jim’s future. He is sympathetic to a degree but he has to redeem himself by throwing himself in front of a vampire. Gus returns and Rob thinks he is not connected to anything that’s interesting at this point. He goes around stealing cars. What’s going on here? This left Josh wondering although Rob thinks Gus is headed to a direction where Gus would be a part of the Justice League, along with Eph and Abraham. Gus’ cousin, Felix is introduced in this episode. Josh plays Ding, Marry, Kill on Felix, Gus, and Gus’ brother. Josh would marry Felix. He’d kill Gus’ brother. And he’d ding Gus. At this point, Josh is marking all supporting characters on the show for death and he thinks this is enjoyable. And Sean Astin is 100% on that list. What happened to Eldritch Palmer meeting the master is left blank right now. It doesn’t seem that he became immortal because he was needing surgery in this episode so obviously he didn’t get what he wanted. Rob thinks it’s smart that they brought in Dutch Velders. A good job to knock out the Internet. Rob isn’t sure what role Secretary Pierson has. Josh says she is Palmer’s mole. Rob and Josh take in some questions. Josh gives his Death Power Rankings. Josh really thinks everybody except the main characters has to die pretty quickly. Josh gives the Most Annoying Award to the AA meeting. The joint custody scene wasn’t great either but the AA meeting wasn’t necessary. The Gus storyline is a contender as well. So who do you think would be the members of the “Justice League”? The hosts are guessing Eph, Abraham, Gus, and Vasiliy. Nora perhaps or Sean Astin but still, Josh is guessing he’s gonna be toast. Subscribe to Post Show Recaps [saf]…
