Along the way, he explores how supervised learning continues to quietly power today's most impressive AI systems—and why reinforcement learning and unsupervised learning are still lagging behind.   We also dive into: The tribal war between Connectionists and Symbolists The surprising origins of Backpropagation How transformers redefined machine translation Why GANs and generative models exploded (and then faded) The myth of modern reinforcement learning (DeepSeek, RLHF, etc.) The danger of AI research narrowing too soon around one dominant approach Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a machine learning practitioner, or just curious about where intelligence is headed, this episode offers a rare deep dive into the ideological foundations of AI—and what's coming next.
