"Age of Miracles"

Show Notes

Anton Teaches Packy AI is Not Boring's attempt at making AI more accessible to our audience. It's become increasingly obvious that we're in the Golden Age of AI, so we think it's important to demystify what's going on and how it all actually works.

Anton Troynikov is the founder of Chroma, former Meta Reality Labs Research Engineer and Roboticist.

Packy McCormick is the author of the popular tech and buinsess strategy newsletter, Not Boring.

Anton Teaches Packy AI is exactly what it sounds like -- each video, Anton breaks down AI to a level that Packy (your average above average smart person) can understand. In Episode 1, Anton and Packy discuss the groundbreaking "Attention is All You Need" research paper which kicked off the entire Transformer generative AI wave.

We can live in an Age of Miracles, but it’s going to take a lot of work. Energy abundance is the most important thing we can work towards as a species. More than simply surviving climate change, we have the opportunity to unlock a new level of human thriving if we can successfully navigate this transition. That’s why we chose to do the first season of Age of Miracles on the energy sources of the future. In this episode of Age of Miracles, the final episode of season one, Packy and Julia reflect on the importance of energy abundance, how nuclear energy helps us unlock it, and what the future might look like when we do. Thank you to all of our guests this season for making this show possible—we're so grateful.
