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.

Mel Gibson’s Mutiny on the Bounty: The Untold Story of a Hollywood Flop 36:39

Mel Gibson, Mutiny on the Bounty, and historical accuracy take center stage in this episode of Hugging the Cactus: A Mel Gibson Podcast . Join us as we dive into the 1984 film The Bounty , directed by Roger Donaldson, featuring an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, and Laurence Olivier. We explore the real-life mutiny that inspired this cinematic retelling, the troubled production history (including developmental hell, budget woes, and Mel Gibson’s bar fights), and how it stacks up against earlier versions like the 1935 Clark Gable classic and the 1962 Marlon Brando film. From Robert Bolt’s screenplay to Vangelis’ soundtrack and Arthur Ibbetson’s cinematography, we unpack why this historically accurate take didn’t resonate with audiences or awards, despite its stunning visuals and epic scope. Was it the lack of a sequel, bad timing, or simply an unremakeable classic? Stick around for the full story of Fletcher Christian, Lieutenant Bligh, and a ship that changed naval history forever.…
