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.

Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman 1:58:36

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. This month we read and discussed the book, "Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots" by Deborah Feldman. As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman who eventually reclaimed her life outside of her faith tradition and forged a new path for herself and her son.

Armageddon: What the Bible Really Says About the End by Bart Ehrman 1:47:29

Welcome to The Good Book Club podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. This month the book club discussed “Armageddon: What the Bible Really Says About the End” by Bart Ehrman. You’ll find nearly everything the Bible says about the end in the Book of Revelation: a mystifying prophecy filled with bizarre symbolism, violent imagery, mangled syntax, confounding contradictions, and very firm ideas about the horrors that await us all. But no matter what you think Revelation reveals—whether you read it as a literal description of what will soon come to pass, interpret it as a metaphorical expression of hope for those suffering now, or only recognize its highlights from pop culture—you’re almost certainly wrong.

The book discussed at this meeting is “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life” by Mark Manson. In this entertaining and hard hitting self-help guide, the author cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. In other words, there are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter. We found this book to be really eye opening and we think you will too!

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. Our bookclub discussion this month was centered on the book, "The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values" by Sam Harris. In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false—and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. We found this book and the concepts presented, absolutely fascinating and we think you will too, This bookclub meeting was originally held on Sunday, July 14th.…

Delving into the latest research of psychologists and neuroscientists, HOW MINDS CHANGE explores the limits of reasoning, the power of groupthink, and the effects of deep canvassing. The book ultimately challenges us to question our own motives and beliefs. In an age of dangerous conspiratorial thinking, can we rise to the occasion with empathy? We really learned a lot from this book and we know you'll find this discussion fascinating. This bookclub meeting was originally held on June 9th, 2024…

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings and bonus events available for listeners to enjoy. In this episode we discuss the ground breaking book, "The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World " by Max Fisher We all have a vague sense that social media is bad for our minds, for our children, and for our democracies. But the truth is that its reach and impact run far deeper than we have understood. Building on years of international reporting, Max Fisher tells the gripping and galling inside story of how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social network preyed on psychological frailties to create the algorithms that drive everyday users to extreme opinions and, increasingly, extreme actions. We found this book to be equally interesting and terrifying and we are definitely rethinking our social media use. This book club meeting was originally recorded on Sunday, May 19th, 2024…

Welcome to The Good Book Club podcast where we make all our book club meetings and bonus events available for listeners to enjoy. This episode features our bookclub discussion of "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond. In this groundbreaking book, the author convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. You won't look at the world in the same way after reading this book. Our bookclub meeting was originally held on Sunday, April 14th, 2024.…

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings and bonus events availble for listeners and viewers to enjoy. On today's epiosde we discuss the book "Devil's Gate: Brigham Young and the Great Mormon Handcart Tragedy" by David Roberts. The book recounts the tragedy of the Willey and Martin handcart companies. In 1856, 220 Mormon pioneers traveling west to Utah, pushing and pulling their belongings in handcarts, died of malnutrition and hypothermia. Roberts draws on contemporary letters and diaries to re-create the drama and suffering, as well as delving into the church's LDS church's role in the events.This was very heartbreaking to read, but also very important to understand in it's scope within a broader context of the LDS church.

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast, where all our bookclub meetings and bonus events are made available for listeners to enjoy. On this episode we discuss "The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture" by Dr. Darrel Ray. "The God Virus" uses the analogy of religion as a virus to explain the psychology behind it. Dr. Darrel Ray, uses his background in psychology and his knowledge of religion to explain the hold that religion has on our culture. The book is a lot of fun to read and the author does a wonderful job of educating us while never losing focus of his clever yet appropriate analogy. Dr. Ray joins us for the second half of the meeting and as always, it's an absolute pleasure to have him talk to the group. We know you'll think so too!

Welcome to the Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our book club meetings and bonus events available for listeners to enjoy. This book club episode is a discussion of Johnathon Haight's "The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom." "The Happiness Hypothesis" is a book about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations—to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. We absolutely loved this book and learned so much from it, and we know you'll really enjoy it too. Discussion leader Joel did an excellent job presenting the book.
