Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings: stories, schools, superpowers


Listen Later

This week, Reid and Aria sit down with Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings. Reed has seen technology rewrite the rules of entertainment before, but AI takes him back to his beginnings: he studied it at Stanford in the late '80s, decades before it became the only conversation in tech. Few people have watched this moment build from as many vantage points: he's served on the boards of Microsoft, Meta, Bloomberg, and, now, Anthropic.

In this episode, they talk about what AI changes in entertainment in the stories themselves, and who gets to tell them. We ask what AI can deliver for education, an area Reed has poured hundreds of millions to reform. We dig into whether the disruption coming for workers is a wages problem, a jobs problem, or something else entirely. And we ask what a two-superpower AI race means for everyone else.
Note: we recorded this episode with Reed Hastings before he announced that he won't stand for re-election to the Netflix board.
