In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore Reddit's remarkable journey to profitability, marking its first profitable quarter since going public with $348.4 million in revenue and a 47% increase in daily active users. The platform's success is bolstered by strategic AI partnerships with OpenAI and Google, transforming Reddit into a valuable data source for AI model training while creating new revenue streams through licensing deals worth $203 million.

Meta challenges Google's podcast generation dominance with NotebookLlama, an open-source alternative that transforms text documents into AI-generated podcasts. While the system offers impressive customization options and flexibility, it currently faces limitations in audio quality and speech overlap, highlighting the ongoing competition in AI-powered content creation tools.

The episode culminates with an in-depth look at Google's revelation that AI now generates over 25% of its new code, signaling a fundamental shift in software development practices. This milestone showcases how AI is transforming the tech industry, with the company's internal AI model, Goose, leveraging 25 years of engineering expertise to boost developer productivity while maintaining human oversight for quality and security.
