Reddit, AI, and the Future of the Human Internet with Steve Huffman

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.
