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.

Barney “Scout” Mann is on the podcast to talk about a lifetime of being in the outdoors. His new book, Journeys North, is the tale of his hike from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail.

It’s more than that though… The story includes many of the hikers who crossed his path and of course his wife. Backstories help the reader understand current situations and Scout does a wonderful job at interweaving these into his story.

I have since read the book. Honestly, it reads like a book of fiction even knowing the truth behind it. In the past, I have read plenty of PCT books, but this one stands out as completely capturing the culture of the trail and those who hike it.

Order Journeys North on Amazon, REI or order a copy signed by the author.

For more about Scout: visit his website and follow him on Instagram.

180 How Does a Huge Outdoor Facebook Group Handle Staying Home? 24:59

5 years ago24:59

24:59

Lee Jacobson is on the podcast again. I wanted to get the listeners a look behind the scenes of handling a group which is dedicated to hiking, without wanting to promote people to hike the main trails. Covid-19 has currently changed getting outdoors. The first thing Washington Hikers and Climbers did is turn on post approval. This way, all posts can be vetted before approved. Also, they have stopped allowing posts asking for current conditions, as this could encourage people to overrun the trails. Listen to see the ideas Lee’s team has come up with to keep the masses entertained while stuck at home. Lee started the Facebook Group Washington Hikers and Climbers which has over 132,000 members Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/washingtonhikersandclimbers/…
