Podcast appearances and mentions of Alexis Ohanian

How do we build products and platforms that support a healthy, prosperous future? What will it take to “make the internet fun again?” Should kids be using AI? This week, serial entrepreneur and investor Alexis Ohanian—who co-founded Reddit two decades ago and is currently working to reinvent the social news aggregator Digg—joins Reid and Aria to talk about (re)building online and offline communities in the age of AI. They hear from Alexis on his recent bid for U.S. TikTok, the startups and women's sports ventures he's backing through his VC firm Seven Seven Six, and his approach to raising AI-forward daughters with his wife, tennis legend Serena Williams.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/  Topics: 03:03 - Hellos and intros 03:24 - Being a “Daddy Caddy” for Olympia 04:36 - Inspiration behind 776 08:26 - Making the internet “fun” again 12:25 - Internet culture vs. the platform 17:49 - Bid for Tiktok 21:47 - AI and online communities 27:01 - AI in women's sports 30:16 - Hardware vs. software 31:46 - Midroll 32:00 - Kids, parenting, and learning in the age of AI 34:55 - Physical products in a digital world 40:46 - Tech optimism  41:56 - Alexis's collectibles 44:29 - Rapid-fire questions Select mentions: Seven Seven Six Teenage Engineering Art For Kids Hub Synthesis Tutor Monumental Labs Mantel Unreasonable Hospitality Possible is an award-winning podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there.

Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education. These conversations also showcase another kind of guest: AI. Each episode seeks to enhance and advance our discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.

Amit Katwala, features editor at Wired, profiles Alexis Ohanian. The co-founder of Reddit is now a venture capitalist who has made headlines for acquiring the social media platform Digg, and joining Frank McCourt's 'People's Bid' for US TikTok.

Die Plattform Reddit hat seit ihrem Börsengang im Sommer 2025 ihren Buchwert zeitweise vervierfachen können. Zum einen ist dafür die Entwicklung der KI verantwortlich, da Reddit es geschafft hat, seine offene Struktur in eine geschlossene umzuwandeln und den großen Datenschatz gewinnbringend an Google und OpenAI zu verkaufen. Zum anderen erklärt sich Reddits Aufschwung aus der Priorisierung, die Google vorgenommen hat. Plötzlich steht die Erfahrung von Usern im Vordergrund. Wer googelt, bekommt häufig Reddit-Ergebnisse weit oben angezeigt – von einem Zuwachs an Sichtbarkeit um 867 Prozent im Jahr 2023 ist die Rede. Reddit ist eine erstaunliche Erfolgsgeschichte, die im Jahr 2005 begann, als das Unternehmen von Steve Huffman und Alexis Ohanian gegründet wurde. Zunächst sammelten sich in den Foren vor allem Nerds und lange Zeit hatte Reddit ein erhebliches Problem mit Hasskommentaren, was jedoch in den vergangenen Jahren eingedämmt werden konnte. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über die Plattform, die sich als Frontpage des Internets versteht.

This week, we're re-releasing Erik Torenberg's interview with Alexis Ohanian. Alexis discusses his journey from co-founding Reddit to creating the venture firm Seven Seven Six, detailing its unique approach of using software to enhance venture capital operations and founder support, transparency, and accountability — 

Techdirt has finally accepted the inevitable and gone full democracy blog—because let's face it, politics and tech are now the same dumpster fire. Google rolled out AI Mode for Search, proving once again that the internet is just Clippy with better branding. Meanwhile, Billy McFarland insists Fyre Festival 2 is totally happening, despite Mexican officials pointing out that his coordinates literally lead to the ocean. Speaking of fraud, Tesla sales are in freefall thanks to Elon's alt-right cosplay, and people are setting Teslas on fire in protest. And in rich-guy disconnect news, Google's Sergey Brin thinks engineers should work 60-hour weeks to build the AI that will replace them. That's some late-stage capitalism poetry right there.Elsewhere, Trump Media paid Don Jr. nearly a quarter of its revenue to show up twice, while indie musicians can't afford to tour, proving once again that grifting is more profitable than making art. Technicolor shut down overnight, stranding 10,000 workers because Hollywood's financial planning is apparently as stable as a Starship rocket launch. Oh yeah, SpaceX exploded another one.Meanwhile, Netflix's attempt to upscale A Different World turned it into a Lovecraftian horror show. A quarter of Y Combinator startups now run on “vibe coding,” meaning their software is basically a Ouija board with extra steps. The AI takeover continues as OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 monthly for specialized AI "agents," proving once again that the revolution will be monetized. Meanwhile, Moscow's Pravda network has been poisoning Western AI chatbots with Russian propaganda, because if you can't convince humans, just brainwash the robots that humans increasingly trust.On the bright side, hackers brought the Humane AI Pin back to life after it was bricked, transforming an overpriced paperweight into... a slightly less useless overpriced paperweight. ChatGPT can now directly edit code in macOS development tools, making it easier for AI to introduce bugs you never would have thought of yourself. Over At the Library, check out "The Tempest" by Peter Cawdron for your first contact fix, and if you're worried about where society is heading (and who isn't?), Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny" offers a survival guide for our slow-motion constitutional collapse. Finally, in "everything is fine" news, 82% of indie artists can't afford to tour anymore.Enjoy the dystopia, kids – at least we still have our sense of humor.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Plus Startups Go Big On AI Generated CodeLike this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox, every weekday. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usGoogle Introduces 'AI Mode' in Search for Conversational ResultsGoogle is testing 'AI Mode' in its search engine, replacing traditional link lists with AI-generated conversational answers. This feature utilizes the Gemini 2.0 AI model to provide comprehensive responses, integrating relevant web links. Initially available to Google One AI Premium subscribers, 'AI Mode' aims to enhance user experience by delivering more intuitive and informative search results. AI-Generated Code Dominates Y Combinator's Latest Startup CohortIn Y Combinator's recent cohort, approximately 25% of startups have codebases predominantly generated by artificial intelligence. This trend underscores AI's growing role in software development, enabling rapid prototyping and reduced development costs. However, reliance on AI-generated code raises concerns about code quality, security vulnerabilities, and the need for human oversight to ensure robust and maintainable software solutions.Researchers Advocate for New Approaches to Achieve Human-Level AIA recent survey of AI researchers reveals skepticism about current AI technologies reaching artificial general intelligence (AGI). Over 75% believe scaling existing systems won't achieve AGI, and 84% doubt neural networks alone can match human intelligence. The findings suggest a need to explore alternative AI methodologies beyond current dominant approaches.Amazon Plans 'Constellation' of AI-Powered DevicesAmazon is set to expand its AI offerings with a "constellation" of devices, according to Panos Panay, head of Amazon's devices and services. Following the launch of Alexa+, the company aims to integrate AI across its product lineup, potentially enhancing devices like Ring security cameras, Eero Wi-Fi routers, and Echo smart speakers. Specific details remain undisclosed. The Hottest AI Models Right Now and How to Use ThemAI is evolving fast, with top models pushing the limits of what's possible. OpenAI's GPT-4.5 leads in language generation, Google's Gemini 2.0 enhances reasoning, and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 excels in complex problem-solving. Meanwhile, xAI's Grok 3 and diffusion-based models are gaining traction for specialized applications. Digg's AI-Powered Reboot: A New Era for Social Content CurationDigg, once a leading content aggregator, is set for a revival under co-founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The platform will incorporate artificial intelligence to enhance content curation, aiming to foster genuine community engagement and counter misinformation. The relaunch positions Digg to re-enter the competitive social media landscape with a focus on user-driven, AI-augmented experiences.

Have you been involved in another week of absolute crypto chaos? Episode 103 is packed with wild headlines—Alexis Ohanian wants to put TikTok on-chain, Dogecoin just got the ETF green light, and the SEC is suddenly not interested in Yuga Labs anymore. Meanwhile, Trump's late-night tweets are sending Bitcoin and Ethereum on a ride wilder than a meme stock rally. Is this market manipulation at its finest, or just another day in the digital asset circus? We break it all down—strategic reserves, power plays, and why Brian Armstrong is out here acting like the only adult in the room. Grab a drink, this one's a trip.

In this episode, Moni and Kat review Zora Neale Hurston's The Life of Herod the Great, a never-before-published novel that challenges the traditional view of King Herod. Hurston portrays him not as the villain of the New Testament but as a visionary leader who enriched Jewish culture and navigated the political chaos of the first century BCE. With rich historical detail and a fresh perspective, the book offers a compelling look at one of history's most misunderstood (and apparently hot) figures.But before they get into the book discussion, there's some Super Bowl business to address! The hosts recap the game, with Moni taking an L after making a bet on the Kansas City Chiefs. They also break down Kendrick Lamar's epic halftime show, discussing its cultural impact and why it was one of the best performances in recent years. This episode has it all, even corrections from last week's episode! Tune in for the laughs, the lessons, and the literary gems. Cheers!

When are we going to start taking black quarterbacks seriously? Yes, Jalen Hurts has become the fourth-ever black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. However, four of the last six Super Bowls were won by black quarterbacks. Jason asks the question: When do we stop acting like the special-needs kids did something remarkable? Even though this Super Bowl was a clunker and borderline unwatchable, Fox, ESPN, and the NFL are reporting that TV ratings indicate this was the most-watched Super Bowl ever. Lies, lies, and more lies. Did you truly think the halftime show was entertaining? No? Deion and Ryan Clark did. They loved it. It all seems like a bad dream. This year's Super Bowl will be remembered as the day the NFL began its decline to NBA-level relevance. Steve Kim joins "Fearless" to discuss the NBA's most relevant story of the past five years. The NBA rebellion has begun. Dallas Mavericks fans are irate over the trade of Luka Dončić. Mavs loyalists are starting to realize how terribly they have been slighted. Mark Cuban is getting cussed out by fans, and the fans are storming the gates. Will we see an NBA revolution? Last but certainly not least, Shemeka Michelle joins the show to address Dank “The Tank” DeMoss' most recent interview on "The Breakfast Club," where she claims that we should all pander to fat people the way we do to the LGBTQ community.

Episode 359 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Matt Douglas, Founder & CEO of Sincere. Boston has this legacy reputation that you can't build consumer companies in the area, yet there are so many great companies that have scaled like Wayfair, DraftKings, iRobot, SimpliSafe, and so… so… many more. Plus, don't get me started on how many brands, especially footwear, are located here. Anyway, Sincere is another example of a great consumer company at scale. It is highly likely that you've used one of their products like Punchbowl to plan a party, Timehop to relive past memories, or Memento, where you can collect and preserve memories together for a group video or photo album. Sincere's latest brand is Lovebird, a new platform for the wedding industry which is taking on The Knot and other outdated incumbents and as highlighted in this interview with Matt, there will be more coming from Sincere. In this podcast, we cover: * A discussion around the legacy of an entrepreneur and what led Matt down the path of starting a corporate foundation at Sincere for charitable initiatives. * Matt's background story, growing up with 5 brothers and how he started his entrepreneurial roots early on. * Getting his career started and how he became the youngest Product Manager at Adobe. * His brushes with tech luminaries like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Alexis Ohanian, Justin Kan, and Dharmesh Shah. * The background story of Punchbowl and the three key characteristics he used for building a business. * Why the expansion into the wedding market with Lovebird made sense for the company and how they are differentiating themselves from the competitors. * Matt's philosophy around buying premium domains and a hint about his best 5 letter domain that is not even live yet. * And so much more.

In 2020, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian resigned from his own company in protest. After 15 years building Reddit into a social media juggernaut, why leave?The answer is values. Alexis is the kind of entrepreneur and investor who believes that integrity and long term profits go hand in hand. It's the reason he started his new company 776, allowing him to invest in startups that are trying to make the world a better place. And it's the reason he resigned from Reddit after George Floyd was killed, requesting the board replace him with a Black director.In this conversation, Alexis shares with me his thoughts on the future of entrepreneurship, the race for AGI, climate change, and the principles that guide the way he leads. It turns out, building a business with values is the best thing for long term greed.This...is A Bit of OptimismFor more on Alexis and his work, check out:776alexisohanian.com

Jessica Livingston is a co-founder of Y Combinator, the first and most successful startup accelerator. Y Combinator has funded over 5,000 companies, 200 of which are now unicorns, including Airbnb, Dropbox, DoorDash, Stripe, Coinbase, and Reddit. Jessica played a crucial role in YC's early success, when she was nicknamed the “social radar” because of her uncanny ability to quickly evaluate people—an essential skill when investing in early-stage startups.
