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.

SPOILER: Este episódio não contêm SPOILERS. Excepto aquele do Star Wars em que o Darth Vader revela ser o pai do Luke Skywalker. Mas esse tecnicamente não conta como SPOILER, visto que toda a gente já o conhece.
ERRATA: Durante a emissão deste programa, anunciamos o Transformismo como sendo a 24ª Arte, quando na verdade é a 64ª Arte. Pedimos desculpa pelo sucedido, mas errar é humano e perdoar é divino.
Terceiro (e quiçá último?..) capítulo do Estupefascinante, com cinco pessoas em estúdio a falar sobre a arte de fazer o humor, mas só com uma dessas pessoas a ter verdadeiramente piada (para saberem quem é, basta ouvir o programa).
A tão aguardada sequela da saga artística do ano. Correndo o risco de não ser tão bom como o primeiro (como costuma ser o caso nas sequelas), é um programa bastante "amoroso" digno de ser ouvido, graças à participação especial de Mariana Roque (Portudo e Pornada).
Episódio-piloto do "Estupefascinante". Com a participação especial de Tiago Pinto (Nossa Que Pinto, Capri Due) e com actuações dos portugueses Tu Metes Nojo e dos franceses Daft Punk.
