Q & A: I ANSWER LISTENERS' QUESTIONS

WHEN I GROW UP

1:14:43

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.

Athina and Florence understand how challenging it is to find a pair of frames that fit your face comfortably. Shopping for eyewear that embraces diverse facial features has long been a seemingly impossible task. Most frames in the market either sit on our cheeks, slide down our nose, or rise up our face when we smile. They knew there had to be a way to wear frames with confidence, so they created Elevated Fit® and started their journey to break away from the standard fit.

MY STORY: HOST & ACTRESS ELLIE LEE 43:23

il y a 6 ans43:23

43:23

Hey everyone, my name is Ellie Lee and I am a Korean-American on-camera host & actress from New Jersey. I come from immigrant parents who worked hard in the retail business (children's clothing & shoe stores) growing up but I never had plans to get into fashion or retail-I had other dreams. Like everyone, I got a 9-5 job after college but my heart was yearning for other things. I quit my job a year and a half later when I booked a small play in NYC-it was the dream and I knew it was the calling I needed to go after everything I ever dreamt of. I hope my story inspires you to go chase after all that you want in this short life.
