Reddit has always been a cultural force online — but today, it's also something else: a core piece of the internet’s AI infrastructure.
In this episode, Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman joins Eric to talk about the company’s first year as a public company, why Reddit still feels like it’s just getting started, and how it’s navigating a new era where AI-generated content is flooding the internet. They discuss Reddit’s evolution from a link aggregator to a community engine, the irony of becoming an LLM training backbone, and why Huffman thinks Reddit can preserve its human core even as it grows.
We also covered recent headlines including SpaceX’s projected $15.5 billion in revenue for 2025, Meta’s billion-dollar deal to extend the life of an Illinois nuclear plant, Colossal Labs’ plan to release dire wolf howls later this year, and Amazon’s newly announced film about the OpenAI boardroom drama.
