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.

What is the European convention on human rights? Do we really need it? What’s the big deal anyway? The convention has come under attack in recent years. Opposers see the ECHR and the UK’s Human Rights Act as preventing them from ‘dealing with’ those who are different. For example they think that it gives citizens from other cultures, races and religions equality under the law – and they’re absolutely right, it does. That’s one of the things that the convention was designed to do shortly after the end of the second world war. In fact, when exploring the purpose of the ECHR and the way that it affects us today it’s almost impossible to avoid considering the atrocities of the Holocaust, the pressure of the jackboot on occupied Europe, the treatment of disabled people or those from ‘non Aryan’ races and the political violence of Nazism. Many UK citizens oppose the ECHR without ever realising just what they are arguing against. The European convention was and still is a direct response…

Stoicism is brilliant! We like to think we’re all ‘ever so advanced’ in the 21st century but the ancients weren’t exactly stupid either. Well over 2,000 years ago Stoic philosophers began laying the foundations for good mental health and the principles they established are still in use today. This stuff won’t cure serious mental illness but as a strategy for mental health promotion it’s a damn good starting place!

I've been a qualified mental health nurse since 1995. Throughout the intervening years I've always tried to face the ethical and conceptual challenges of my work head on. That hasn't always been comfortable and from time to time it's seen me at odds with some of my colleagues which is never a nice situation to be in. There's a lot wrong with modern psychiatric practice and we have an awful lot to learn (it is only 2018 after all) but there's a lot right too. Here I explore the notion that personality type is nothing to do with psychiatry at all and contrast it with the practice of psychiatry itself. We have come a long way since the Victorian and Edwardian 'asylums' but that doesn't mean we should get complacant. That doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on the issue.

Hello and welcome to my podcast. Here you will find a mish mash of things that capture my interest. Sometimes the entries here will be ripped from my youtube channel and sometimes they wll be created specifically for this project. In this first episode I hope to let you know a little about me, my roots and the traditions of my culture - a culture that has been hijacked in the last few years by far right racists and xenophobes who pretend to speak for us.…
