Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and founder of venture firm 776, has been speaking about the value of live sports in the age of AI. He said that sports are the "only pillar of entertainment that is durable" and described them as an "anti-AI bet," arguing that no one will pay to watch robots compete because sport "matters because it's humans doing it." Ohanian also discussed his investments in women's sports, including the women's track and field league Athlos, which he said he is building with athletes as equity partners. He stated that he was a "rare voice five, six years ago" calling women's sports an institutional asset and expressed confidence that the commercial value of women's sports is being proven. Ohanian commented on the SpaceX IPO, calling it a "milestone moment" and noting that space technology was an "investment thesis that was unthinkable a decade ago." He said that many companies that would have gone public in a previous decade instead stayed private longer, and that it is positive for retail investors to gain access to such opportunities. Ohanian also reflected on the evolution of technology, stating that the current AI wave is a larger shift than the social media or mobile revolutions he previously experienced.
