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.

As a college student, Lela Lee was an angry young woman, but she wasn't sure why. So one night, she took that anger and created a cartoon, "Angry Little Asian Girl". But, she didn't share it. In fact, she put her away FOR YEARS! A local film festival and a twist of fate, however, helped revive Lela's private, therapeutic project and the foul-mouthed "Angry Little Asian Girl" became a kind of hero to women and girls everywhere who were...you guessed it...ANGRY! Lela bootstrapped the raw, honest and hilarious cartoon series doing everything from selling t-shirts to creating a Kickstarter campaign. But how things have changed! Lela and the "Angry Little Asian Girl" along with her friends are ready to take it to the next level! May talked with Lela about the big news and shares her unusual story of success all thanks to a simple drawing that symbolizes the powerful intersection of being female and Asian.

EP 30 - Erosion of Journalism 1:01:47

3 hari yang lalu1:01:47

1:01:47

One important pillar of a functioning Democracy is the press and the ability to freely report truth and fact to the public. But has been a steady erosion of journalistic efforts due to the current political chaos in the U.S. and that is leading to genuine fears that journalism, as we know it, will soon vanish and, instead, a type of propaganda will take its place. This is textbook dictatorial behavior. May is joined by fellow journalist, Rebecca Sun, to talk about how their industry has changed dramatically and what can be done to save the important work that journalists are committed to doing. Not easy when billionaires are creating media empires and politicians label journalists as the "enemy of the people". Don't miss this crucial episode. Please subscribe, rate and review us!

Sometimes you just need to say “What the F*K!” But then, you need to find a way to cope with all that’s going on…and there’s A LOT going on. So in this episode, May and Kelly (Tamlyn had a very good excuse not to join this time, which is explained in the show) decided to just sit down, unload and share coping mechanisms…everything from dealing with friends on the opposite end of the political spectrum to K-dramas as a distraction from the madness to how May would react to an alien encounter. Yes, you read that right. If you’re in need of authentic and raw conversation about where we are right now, watch and listen. Please subscribe, rate and review us!

EP 28 - LA Burning and How to Help 1:02:20

1:02:20

This episode of "Shoes Off Inside" was originally supposed to be about how to mentally prepare for the new year ahead with the help of our guest psychologist Dr. Jenny Wang. But then, the cataclysmic LA wildfires hit and we knew we had to pivot. The destruction to homes, businesses and entire neighborhoods is so immense, it's difficult to truly understand the scale of loss. As of the date of this episode, more than 180,000 people have been displaced by the fires. More than 10,000 structures are damaged or destroyed. 11 human lives have been lost. Animals, both domestic and wild, have also been dramatically impacted. May, Kelly and Tamlyn speak with Dr. Wang about how we can all help each other through this unprecedented disaster and what each one of us can do to make a difference even in the smallest of ways. This was a way for us to share a space of comfort, compassion, sympathy and empathy. Thank to all the incredible first responders who are courageously putting themselves in harm's way to save others. At the end of the episode there is information about ways you can help.

EP - Childless Women IN PERSON!! 1:02:39

1:02:39

Do you believe in miracles??? After 2 years of hosting "Shoes Off Inside" virtually, May, Kelly and Tamlyn FINALLY recorded an episode IN PERSON and they made sure to get into some GOOD TROUBLE! Sitting on the floor in May's living room eating musubi, mochi donuts and drinking boricha, the outspoken threesome tackled the subject of Childless Women, who have recently come under attack. So who better to talk about it than three childless women. The conversation is raw, honest and powerful. And on a completely different subject, May tries to get Tamlyn to spill the beans about a possible "Joy Luck Club" sequel. Here's a hint...what she says may not reflect what she really means. Hmmmm.... Side note...the election is right around the corner, so make sure to vote! Another side note...our audio is a little wonky because our mics weren't coming through, but fear not, it's still totally audible!

The threesome is down to two for this episode because SOMEONE forgot about our recording date and overslept! LOL! But as the saying goes, “The show must go on!” So May and Kelly chat up a storm from the frivolous to the very serious. From French wine, cheese and fashion to the disinformation enveloping the hurricanes that are devastating Florida and beyond. Tamlyn was sorely missed, but the ladies had fun as usual, including the tech-challenged Kelly teaching the normally tech-savvy May a very basic lesson in “Do Not Disturb”.

1:14:04

The ladies of "Shoes Off Inside" took a little time off for summer...a combination of globe-hopping, caretaking and gearing up for the country's most consequential elections in modern history. This is an episode that is full of surprises, insight, admissions and TMI (hint...the squatty potty is a topic). But May, Kelly and Tamlyn get down to serious business with a heartfelt and informative conversation about the upcoming presidential election and what is truly at stake. We all have the privilege of being part of the democratic process and that means being informed in order to exercise our right to vote! And a show note...we decided to try a new recording platform so the show starts off in the most casual, candid and oh so MKT way!

Would you be willing to travel on your own dime to all 50 U.S. states and sit down with a total stranger over a meal? Well that's exactly what Shari Leid, former attorney turned life coach, did and she lived to tell the many tales. Her purpose was to find connection and common ground in our growingly divided country. All of her connections were women of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. Through this journey, Shari not only discovered the beauty of pushing beyond fear and stereotypes, but as a Korean adoptee, she experienced her own unexpected epiphany. Her story is one of courage, adventure, patience and, ulimately, self-love.

EP 22 - Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month 1:03:11

1:03:11

The month of May is when the spotlight burns brighter on the AANHPI community! All month long we celebrate the diversity of Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders and that means honoring everyone from the most prominent political and media figures to the unsung heroes who are tirelessly working to elevate our voices. In this episode, May, Kelly and Tamlyn talk about their commitment to the community and why the sense of belonging amongst AANHPIs is still not fully embraced, according to the latest STAATUS report. Perhaps one reason is that a majority of Americans still can't name one prominent Asian American. The ladies of "Shoes Off Inside" also look forward to being together IN PERSON in Washington, D.C. to celebrate AANHPI at the APAICS gala, or more fondly referred to as the "Asian Prom". (note: this episode was recorded May 2, before the D.C. events) But at the end of the episode, there's a post-event update that you don't want to miss. Let's put it this way, it's the most unusual setting that MKT have every recorded in together! It was a little bumpy!

EP 21 - Words Matter, or Do They? 1:05:55

sekitar setahun yang lalu1:05:55

1:05:55

At the heart of this episode is the hotly debated issue of the "coddled" generation. These are Gen Z'ers and, now, Gen Alpha who have been overprotected by parents from the real world with all of it's challenges, pain, and dangers. But ironcially, these same kids have been severely underprotected from social media. According to psychologist and NYU professor, Jonathan Haidt, this combination has led to a multitude of problems including depression and self-harm as well as a complete lack of accountibility. Social media has created an entire generation of addicted "keyboard warriors", who hide behind their devices and say whatever they want without reprecussions. This behaviour manifests in other areas. May shares her firsthand experience as a university professor who has battled this lack of accountability among students. Recently, she was the target of unfounded incidenary remarks and when she asked for university support, it was rejected. May, Kelly and Tamlyn talk about the reasons behind this kind of hostile and evasive behavior, and what we can do to slow and, perhaps, even avert the further breakdown of civility. And on the lighter side, May has a very fun sneak peek of the first "Shoes Off Inside" swag! You won't want to miss it!!! SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

When it comes to movie stars with the full package, one of our Asian American brothers is at the top of that list...the one and only Daniel Henney! From starting as a model in the U.S. and Asia, to becoming a full-blown heart throb on TV and film in South Korea and worldwide, Daniel continues to entertain the masses. He stars in the series "Wheel of Time" and has a new Korean movie coming out, "Dog Days", February 7th. But what makes him truly endearing is his authenticity and humility. He is as real and as grounded as they come. And if that's not enough, he's also a HUGE dog lover and has advocated for the humane treatment of dogs in South Korea. Daniel has been working with the Humane Society International in an effort to stop the dog meat trade in Korea, which just recently became reality when a new law to ban the trade of dogs was passed. In this episode, May, Kelly and Tamlyn talk openly with Daniel about this controversial topic as well why dogs are so personal to him AND a special someone makes an appearance during this episode! This is an episode you DO NOT want to miss!

EP 18 - Multigenerational Living and Senior Scams! 1:06:32

sekitar setahun yang lalu1:06:32

1:06:32

The numbers don't lie...the senior population is booming while the younger generation is shrinking due to fewer and fewer people having children. That means there is a growing need for caregiving within families, which is leading to more multigenerational households. That's nothing new for Asian families, but we're seeing this trend of multigenerational living increase across all communities and that's changing the way physical homes are being built, remodeled and outfitted. Our Kelly Hu just bought a home with plans for her parents moving in when the time comes so this hits close to home! Also, with more seniors, that means more senior scams! These horrible scammers prey on our vulnerable, sometimes, lonely elders using all sorts of devious tactics. In this latest episode sponsored by AARP, we talk with Senior VP of Caregiving and Health at AARP, Tricia Sandiego, about multigenerational living and what options are out there for childless people like May, Kelly and Tamlyn and they prepare for their "golden years". We also delve into the dark underbelly of senior scams, which totaled $9 billion last year. Denise Oki of the Federal Trade Commission gives us useful tips on how to help our loved ones. You'll be shocked to hear some of the most heartbreaking stories of elderly being cheated out of their life savings. As we say in the show, "There is a special place in HELL for people who scam seniors."

For many of you who have been watching and listening to this show, you've gotten to know May's Golden Retriever, Eggy, pretty well. She would often make cameo appearances during the show knowing exactly where the camera was. Eggy's story, like many rescue dogs, is amazingly touching and inspiring. On October 14 2023, Eggy crossed the rainbow bridge after nearly 16 years. May wanted to take a few minutes at the start of this episode to honor her fur baby and share Eggy's story. Tamlyn and Kelly join May after the memoriam to talk about Tamlyn's theatrical escapades with a run in East West Players production of "Spring Awakening", which opens Oct. 29 in Los Angeles. Kelly gives us an update on her big move to Las Vegas and how her high school calvary came to the rescue! And May shares details about her recent engagement party and how she almost fell for the pressure of throwing a fancy, expensive, formal affair and, instead, chose a more personal route. (Hint, she made the right choice.) Please subscribe to this channel to get updates on the show! You can also listen wherever you get your podcasts. Rate and review our show!!

The ladies of "Shoes Off Inside" took an unintentional break for part of the summer, but that's not a bad thing, especially for Kelly Hu, who traversed Europe, then felt the "burn" and mud at "Burning Man". Meanwhile, Tamlyn was busy attending and emceeing various events elevating the API and Japanese American communities. And May was gearing up for her new position as full-time professor at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. The thing about taking a break is that SO MUCH HAPPENS during that time! So, there was A LOT to catch up on including the continuing Hollywood strike and the Maui Fires. But this episode also celebrates the boldness and courage of one API female entrepreneur, Janel Luu, Founder and CEO of Le Mieux. "Shoes Off Inside" LOVES spotlighting Asian women who don't let traditional stereotypes get in the way of going what we want the way we want to! Janel is living proof of that. And we should note, Le Mieux stepped up to the the FIRST official sponsor of this show on faith and belief in the concept alone. The sisterhood is strong!
