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.

The Slaptail Squad explicit

He's the Beaveman, a sarcastic, angry, Army veteran who is full of guarded optimism and a love of comedy. His counterpart, the Swan, is the Padmé to his Darth Vader, the Evil-Lyn to his Skeletor, and unfortunately someone who wouldn't know great comedy if it bit her on her lovely backside. Together they use the podcast as their own form of stress relief along with squad members Jumanji, Nemo (comedian Mike Cotayo), and the Trailer Park Monster/Dark Lord of Brown-Town JD Hutchins, as well as a rotating cast of friends of the show. When they unite they are, "The Slaptail Squad," a force of humor and idiocy in a world gone completely nuts. Join them, become a part of the great Slaptail Nation, and embrace the collective craziness.

Send us a text Beaveman, JD, and Ricker discuss subjects they are 100% qualified to discuss. Not really, that would be so unlike all of our other podcasts. Shared delusional disorders, aka Folie à Deux or other types of Folie depending on the type and number, are delusional disorders that start with one person and are shared by others. They discuss some cases briefly to determine WTF! Keep in mind that these three are, basically, idiots. So have fun with their crazy interpretations.

Send us a text It's been nearly 5 long years but the Ricker is back! One of the original members of The Slaptail Squad is finally back from the longest hiatus and we could not be more thrilled. We are very proud of his accomplishments and humanitarian efforts all over the planet earth and in the cosmos that kept him away, but now he is back and ready to embrace the collective idiocy. Would you want to know when you are going to die? What is the best way to die? What is the worst way to die? Would you like the Beaveman to predict your demise? Water-boarding by clowns perhaps? Join us for a fun chat. Welcome back Ricker! Slaptail Nation https://www.slaptailnation.com/ https://www.dormousetheatre.com/ https://solo.to/beaveman Support the show…

Send us a text It is a wonderful day in the Beaver Den. The Beaveman finally has sleepwear that does not squeeze his waist or cause him to drop residual urine on his bedsheets. He really wanted to talk more about it but got sidetracked by a ridiculous discussion with Swan about travel, Nemo about comedy, and of course, sex toys. Congrats to Mike Cotayo for getting selected by the WSOC to compete in Las Vegas. Hopefully more satellite selections are coming.

Send us a text Beaveman and Swan hang with a friend of the show Jogun to talk about all things nerdy—no fact-checking needed. We never need fact-checking again. All things, ridiculous, nerdy, historical, and revisionist, don't matter, it is all factual. Join us for a fun talk about all things nerdy. Basically, things Swan doesn't understand, because you know, she is not a nerd. Strap in for a wonderful four years of making fun of true idiocy.

Send us a text Swan, Nemo, and Beaveman unite as a squad to talk about the giant poop show, goat rodeo, FUBAR world we are living in, and how it is affecting the human condition. Sounds deep doesn't it? Too bad Swan and Nemo are easily distracted by anything and everything. There are some serious moments, but remember, none of this is real. We are all living in some screwed-up version of the Matrix. So even if we are on a watchlist, a play is a play, and hopefully, we get bumped up in the charts.

That makes her an expert. [succubitus is the trait of being a succubus, (it's a word Beaveman made up)] Catch this fun chat with this rising comedy star. Emmy, not the Beaveman, just to clarify.

Send us a text The Swan and the Beaveman welcome comedian Adam Minnick remotely to the Beaver Den to talk comedy, bad habits, drones, and whatever other crazy stuff the Beaveman can come up with. To challenge the Swan, Beaveman gives her a swear jar and a handful of quarters because, as we all know, the Swan curses up a storm like the true RN she is. Will she make it through with her handful of quarters, or will she run out? Thank you to our guest, comedian Adam Minnick, for hanging out for a fun conversation. Check the show links to find out where you can see Adam in person. Tickets are on sale now for Slap Your Tail Comedy, where Adam will be the headliner. The show will feature Emmy Butrick and Jen Flaxman, with the amazing Devarron Thomas hosting.
