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.

Why doesn't mumps have it's very own chapter? Isn't it worth talking about like all the other diseases? Doesn't it make everyone sterile? JPR answers these questions, and more ... including the claim that the company that makes this vaccine faked its efficacy research and is now defending themselves in federal court.

Should colleges mandate meningococcal vaccine? After all, this form of meningitis can be deadly. But does this vaccine even stop the spread of this disease (which it would need to in order to justify a mandate)? How can this infection be identified early so that life-saving treatment can begin? And why did almost half of the experts who evaluated this vaccine at the CDC vote AGAINST adding a second dose, but a second dose was added to the schedule anyway?…

What would happen if small religious schools decided to follow the guidelines of their faith instead of their State vaccine law? Would the State step in and shut them down? Would the Constitution save these schools? Would the public sit back and let these teachers and children be rounded up and hauled off to jail, or would we all finally learn from history and allow people of a different type to share our society openly?…

Should vaccine policymakers make vaccine choices for children based on what's best for kids as individuals and as a collective, or should they also consider the well-being of vaccine makes as well? If these policymakers held stock in or were paid by pharma, would that influence their decisions or can they set that aside and be objective? If the right choice would end up bringing down someone's bottom line, would anyone be brave enough to make that call? Or is it just easier to keep everyone happy?…

JPR reviews the science, or lack thereof, behind the claims that the flu shot reduces severity of disease, hospitalization, and mortality, and shows you how to quickly prove such science doesn't exist to those around do. He also reviews what flu shot claims ARE valid, from a scientific viewpoint. And given there's no evidence the vaccine reduces person to person transmission (and yes, he shows you how to prove that too), mandating this vaccine for school or employment isn't justified.…
