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.

Merry Twilightmas err body! It is the greatest time of year so we are here to spread some Twilightmas cheer and discuss the greatest franchise of all the times, The Twilight Saga. We have vampires, we have werewolves, we have love triangles and battles, Six-packs, we got pre-oscar Rami Malek, there’s our beautiful baby boy R-Patt, and of course, Kristen Stewart. Sailor gleefully watched this entire franchise for the first time so we can discuss each film in-depth with intellectual and thought-provoking analysis. All kidding aside, Total Recast does want to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our listeners and supporters while bringing something as silly and as stupid for you to enjoy during your Christmas break.
