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?

Interest rates have reached their lowest point in two years, creating a significant opportunity for potential homebuyers who have been waiting for better market conditions. This rate drop translates to approximately 5% more buying power, allowing buyers to afford more home for the same monthly payment or reduce their payment on the same home. • Half-point interest rate reduction means about 5% increase in buying power • Sellers competing with builders who offer significant rate buydowns to attract buyers • Current market showing homes either sell immediately or sit for extended periods • February sales were down due to higher rates in December/January when those buyers locked in • Mortgage applications increasing in February indicates improving market in April/May • Homeownership ranked as best long-term investment by 36% of Americans • Temporary rate buydowns offer affordable entry to homeownership with lower initial payments • Creative financing options available including bank statement programs for self-employed • Home equity growth consistently outperforms other investments over any 10-year period • Renting may be temporarily cheaper but lacks stability and long-term financial benefits Contact guest Chantry Abbott at Guild Mortgage at 435-979-1775 Guild Mortgage: https://branches.guildmortgage.com/ut/stgeorge/chantry-abbott-521-sgcab.html Have other questions about living in, moving to, or visiting St. George and Southern Utah?

Jessica Taggart Marron joins us to explore the fascinating world where post-election dynamics meet the real estate market. Kicking off with gratitude, we share personal reflections on the small joys that carry us through turbulent times. As election dust settles, we pivot to how these outcomes might sway real estate, particularly for sellers in St. George, emphasizing the ever-present narrative of political "importance" and the call for unity. By spotlighting historical sales trends, we reveal a pattern of increasing home sales post-election—expecting a 12% rise this year—and underscore the need for strategic home preparation. Our conversation with Jessica unpacks the strategic considerations for successful home sales, debunking myths like the supposed magic of events such as the Parade of Homes. We encourage sellers to focus on thoughtful preparation, leveraging Jessica’s expertise to tackle repairs and improvements that maximize returns. With insights into local market fluctuations and seller motivations, we offer a comprehensive guide to navigating today’s real estate landscape. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of how individual actions and attitudes shape our shared world, regardless of political outcomes.
