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.

America burnt him out, so he moved to Budapest with his Hungarian wife, then 4 year-old son, and his elderly dog Zoltan (RIP). Being a lifelong musician, activist, and scholar, Dr. Christopher Robin Cox enjoys unscripted conversations, stories, and calling it like he sees it. Burnt Out in Budapest is an often unscripted free dive into all things politics, culture, environment, and music. Sometimes there are guests, sometimes not. It is unapologetically Left and Socialist. All the music on the podcast is original as well.

A Political Precipice in Hungary: A Call out to the Young Folks 32:45

cách đây 3 years trước32:45

32:45

It has been a long time since my last episode, and I hope to do more episodes this year than I did last year. In this latest episode, I am appealing to young people of voting age here in Hungary, because it is up to them whether or not we are able to rid ourselves of the problem of the increasingly fascist leader Viktor Orbán. Like other places in the world (America and Eastern Europe) there is a sense of creeping fascism, and it is very important that Hungary - which is a kind of curtain between East and West in Europe - does not fall on the wrong side of history. Young people are overwhelmingly against Orbán and if they vote in record numbers, it might be possible to unseat him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

In the first new episode for quite some time (I hope there will be more soon) I tell a story that I have been wanting to tell the world for a very long time, something that I experienced almost twenty years ago in the a small Northern California town called Cotati. If you like the story I share here and you would like to hear more stories like this, or you would perhaps like to share your story, please contact me. Music on for this episode is from the band Fifty-first Monkey and Christopher Robin Cox, yours truly. https://krisztofercox.bandcamp.com/music https://soundcloud.com/krisztofercox/old-reconstruction-mp3-2 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

The show has been on hold over the past few months, as I've been dealing with some life challenges, a busy work schedule, and many other issues of daily life. However, I do plan to come back on a more regular basis. After a long while away, I woke up in the morning and decided to just put up a short episode. I hope you enjoy it, and make sure to subscribe wherever you see Burnt Out in Budapest listed, and you'll get notified when I upload new episodes, which I will do VERY SOON! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

The Expatriate Interviews, Part I: English Teacher Heather Keagan 1:20:14

cách đây 5 years trước1:20:14

1:20:14

In this episode I had a delightful and wide-ranging discussion with Canadian expat Heather Keagan. She teaches English as a foreign language to people of all ages here in Budapest. She's also passionate about mental health and has a great sense of humor. We get into everything from how Budapest has changed over the years, to the strange toilets we have here. We also talk at length about teaching English as a native speaker in foreign countries, which is likely useful for folks who are thinking about getting into TEFL as a profession. We end with some talk about what living in Budapest is like, what we like, what we don't like, and some of the unique things about life here. This is the first interview in what I hope to be regular series where I have open-ended discussions with expats from all over the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

Discussing "Planet of the Humans" w/ Special Guest Dr. Sean Parson 1:27:38

cách đây 5 years trước1:27:38

1:27:38

In this episode, I discuss the controversial new documentary film Planet of the Humans, directed by Jeff Gibbs and Executive Produced by Michael Moore. My special guest for the whole hour + is Dr. Sean Parson, Associate Professor in the departments of Political Science and International Relations and Sustainable Cultures at Northern Arizona University. We dig into some of the very obvious weaknesses of the film, like it's lack of a global approach to the problem of sustainable energy and population growth and distribution; the over-reliance on old white people to comment on the supposed "over-population" problem; and its total lack of attention to the existing movements that challenge many of the very real problems the movie highlights. Importantly, we don't leave it there. We use the film to have a holistic discussion about the myriad problems that exist in the "sustainable energy" narrative that the film's director, Jeff Gibbs, has said publicly is the main goal. There is much about this film that is wrong and in some cases downright harmful to certain aspects of the environmental movement, particularly those which deal with environmental justice, the global food web, and global distribution of finite resources. Crucially, there is also much about this film exposes and articulates that has lain dormant in environmental discussions for far too long. We also go into some depth on those aspects of the film, the aspects that have made so many liberal environmentalist red with anger. Many listeners will come away angry at the end of this discussion. Many will not. But one thing is clear, this movie has sparked heated discussion on a heated planet. We need way more of that.

A Discussion with Adam Klugman, Part II 1:18:25

cách đây 5 years trước1:18:25

1:18:25

This episode is Part II of my long-form interview with Adam Klugman , whom you might know from his now legendary monologues on his old radio show Mad As Hell in America, which used to run on the Air America radio network. For those who did not listen to the first part of the interview, it is worth knowing that Adam is the son of the famous actor Jack Klugman (Angry Old Men, Quincy, and The Odd Couple). Born on the 50-yard line of the game of Hollywood, Adam grew up in no ordinary way, but instead of following in his father's footsteps, he got into commercial ad-making. Eventually he found himself deeply invested in using his skills of messaging and video editing as a hopeful change-maker on the Democratic side of the Isle. In the interview we discuss how we met, which is through my participation in the planning of the Stop the Machine! Create a New World! protest and occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC in 2011, just as the Occupy Movement was reaching its apex. The band I played in and co-led for many years, Junkyard Empire , performed at that rally, as well as many other rallies like it across the country, and eventually that was how Adam and I got to know each other. He was a fan of the band, and I was a huge fan of his work on Air America Radio. We get into a lot of material here, and I hope it moves some of you to make comments and to subscribe to the podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

Special Guest Adam Klugman - Part I 21:29

cách đây 5 years trước21:29

21:29

In this episode, the first of a 2-part interview with Adam Klugman, we get an introduction to his life, one that is far from ordinary! This is the lighter half of the interview, where we talk about growing up as the son of the famous Jack Klugman, who you might know from the American sitcom of the 1970s called The Odd Couple, arguably one of the greatest shows ever on television. You may also know Adam from his now legendary monologues on his old radio show Mad As Hell in America. A regular aspect of the podcast is the sharing of stories, which I think is of great importance! As I will with all my guests, I ask him to "tell us a story." His story is a wild one. I don't want to give it away, but it involved the great Frank Sinatra. We also hear about his interesting social transformation from bratty Hollywood kid to passionate seeker of change, and his later transition from the world of commercial ad-making to political campaign messaging. In the second episode of the interview we did much deeper into his thinking about democratic politics in the United States and beyond, and we talk about our current musical interests, another important regular aspect of the show. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…

This week, my guest is the great Adam Klugman . He's a media strategist, radio personality, script writer and director, and all-around interesting guy.

On Farmer's Markets, Part I 21:37

cách đây 5 years trước21:37

21:37

On this short episode, I ponder the question "who get's to shop at farmer's markets?" The goal is to get a conversation going about the reality that farmer's markets in the US - particularly within large metropolitan cities - have become a kind of luxury, as opposed to a daily necessity. Many questions develop from thinking about farmer's markets in this way. On future episodes I will return to this subject and hopefully have some special guests on the matter. Consider this an introduction to the show and to one of the subjects I like to harp on. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/burntoutinbudapest/support…
