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.

The Ring in the Basement 53:13

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 110 "The Ring in the Basement" The role video plays in the paranormal hasn't changed much over the years. People generally see what they want, or don't want to see in them. What has changed is the prevalence and quality of cameras in not only our investigations, but our day to day lives. This week we look at three videos shared with us that seem to contain anomalies. Ghosts or not, videos like this give us a great example of why deciding what we are often looking at reported video evidence of the paranormal is still just as complex and confounding to figure out as it ever was.…

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 108 "Ghost Lite No.8 Unsolved Mysteries" On this ghost lite, we have the first in what will hopefully be a mini series, we celebrate Unsolved Mysteries. This is a show that introduced many people, so many strange topics.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 107 "The Falcon Lake Incident" On this episode of the Ghost Furnace, we look at one of the most famous cases in Canadian UFO lore, Falcon Lake. What sets this 1967 case apart is the presence of physical evidence, the massive response by the public and officials, and the legacy it produced. What do you think Stephen Michalak had a run in with on that fateful day?

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 106 "Big Bear" On this week's episode we look at the resort town of Big Bear, nestled in the San Bernardino national forest. Tourists come in to enjoy the lake, high desert, forests and all the other natural attractions the area has to offer. When people gather and relax in the great outdoors, it's natural to tell a few stories to pass the time. We look at some of those stories and what locations like this, with huge fluctuations in population, might have to tell us about the nature of our reality.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 105 "Old Man of the Forest" On this week's episode we look at a few creatures which have made the jump from folkloric rumors to taxonomized records of mainstream science. An occurrence which doesn't happen often, but when it does, there is a blueprint established which allows for speculation on what else might be out there in our vast world.

Both the City Tavern and The General Wayne have wild stories, even without all the ghosts. Some of the stories which come out of these places reflect the hundreds of years of history that we don't often see in public/commercial locations in the states.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 103 "Occam's Laser" On this week's episode we look at the rash of drone sightings happening on the east coast recently. There are a lot of videos out there showing various lights in the sky. Theories range from the very mundane to the very strange.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 101 "PA Thunderbirds" On this episode we take a deep dive down the burrowing owl hole into a topic we have touched on in the past, thunderbirds. Concentrating on a small section of Pennsylvania gives a view into a history of sightings that's new to us, but gives an interesting snapshot into this phenomena. Are these sightings abnormally large birds, a relic population of historic animals, spiritual signs, misidentification of known birds, some combination of these factors, or something stranger?

Ghost Furnace Episode 100 - "657 Boulevard" In this episode we take a look back on the last few weeks before getting into the strange case of the Watcher of Westfield NJ. Was it a disturbed neighbor, a prank, a ploy, or something more strange yet? If you're not familiar with this case at all yet, we can recommend the article linked below. This case is a bit a rabbit hole, but has some interesting turns that make us wonder what is really going on here.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 99 "We need ghosts, we can't recon without them: Tim Grieve-Carlson on Shoemaker" On this episode, we speak with local author, professor and folklorist Timothy Grieve-Carlson about one of our long-time subjects, Henry W. Shoemaker. Shoemaker was Pennsylvania's first state Folklorist, prolific author and preservationist who is responsible for shaping much more about our modern idealition of the people, places and stories we love. While the origins of some of Shoemaker's stories don't hold up to modern academic standards, the passion and perspective for the people and places he championed can't be called into question.

The Ghost Furnace - Ghost Lites No.6 Brady's Run Redux In response to the last episodes EVP's, we wanted to look at them again through a lens quite a few listeners had suggested. Like many historic sets of evidence in the paranormal, the Sierra sounds are polarizing. You can find examples from the author online, we don't have them linked here for copyright reasons but we would suggest giving them a listen for context. We have a few other interpretations we are researching so might have more on this topic again in the future. If you have an idea on what is in there, please let us know your ideas! If you have a story you'd like to share or feedback we would love to hear from you. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com…

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 97 "EVPs of Brady's Run" In this episode we look at two evps (electronic voice phenomena), which we submitted by a friend and listener. These were captured unintentionally, and were not heard aloud at the time. Which put them into a curious category. We talk about these pieces of evidence in relation to other evps we've come across while exploring the context and setting. What do you think is being said in these recordings?
