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.

This episode the le Carré Cast delves into the world of true crime with a look at one of the strangest moments in le Carré’s literary history. You won’t read about this one in Sisman’s biography! Settle in for the case of the fake blurbs. Further Reading Sources used to write this post are below. Both The New York Times and The Washington Post had some great reporting on the story with “The Bizarre story of Derek Goodwin” being especially well done. “A Spy Novel’s boosters it seems, aren’t” 04/13/1991, The New York Times “Book Notes” 09/25/1991, The New York Times “Manuscript with False Praise is Rejected” 04/26/1991, The New York Times “The Bizarre story of Derek Goodwin” 04/08/1991, The Washington Post “What’s up with the book biz” 04/23/1991, The Washington Post Thanks to Matthew Kresal for finding this 06/02/2013 interview, “The killer serial killer who scared the FBI” , with the Derek Goodwin in the French magazine, L’Express . All quotes from that story are with the caveat that they were run through Google Translate. Val Mcdermid’s message board posts circa 2003-2008 had some interesting discussions on the book. Clive Cussler by Stuart Leuthner had more on Cussler’s take on the incident.
