Steve Huffman: 我对2005年用户名已被占用感到惊讶，现在要为我儿子找个Gmail都很难。我理论上可以拿回“Steve”这个用户名，但那样做很不Reddit。我曾经帮助别人找回他们在Reddit上的用户名。我和我的姐妹在大学时一起参加交谊舞俱乐部，几乎每天都会争吵。我从和姐妹跳舞的经历中学到的一个重要教训是，我们是同一团队的，争吵是因为我们关心这件事，所以要学会放下。作为兄妹的优势是，我们不需要道歉，可以像什么都没发生一样继续练习。在交谊舞中，我学到的更大的教训是，在抱怨别人之前，要先尽力做好自己。 Nick Martell: 当我的伙伴强烈支持某件事时，我通常认为他是对的，并且最好一起前进。 Jack Crivici-Kramer: （未提供核心论点）

Shownotes Transcript

Reddit… it’s the most important company in social media right now, because it’s the most different. It’s the 5th most visited website in America, the internet’s front page, and the most valuable source of content to train artificial intelligence (Sam Altman pays them). They’ve got a partnership with OpenAI… yet the content is anti-AI. And co-founder / CEO Steve Huffman runs the most real company in tech right now… and he's a classically-trained ballroom dancer.

In this interview episode, you’ll hear…

  • How ballroom dancing is like running a company.
  • The invention of the upvote/downvote.
  • Reddit’s version of judicial, legislative, and executive branch.
  • How the CEO of reddit decides when to ban an account.
  • How AI models train by reading reddit.
  • Should Reddit rebrand to “Real”?
