Newton: I mean, look, Dave, I can tell you’re getting a little bit frustrated here.

Baszucki: I’m actually not frustrated. I just, I’m so excited to talk — I thought we were going to be talking about fun, funny things in the industry and all of that. So I’m not frustrated, I’m just kind of figuring out how much fun time I have with you guys and how much fun time we have versus kind of this superfocus. But I’m happy to talk about whatever you guys want.

“I don’t want to talk about our predator problem, I want to talk about getting kids on our platform”

Guy sounds like a predator exploiting kids himself.

Roblox was a great idea from an acedemic lab on child education and STEM, but as soon as it was successful it went off the rails.

Silicon Valley has always been pioneered by rapists. SV has always been about breaking boundaries and coercing consent

The company itself preys on children. The largest developers prey on children. It’s not always the body that predators are after. It often is the vulnerability and naivety.

He’s already a paedo himself, so this isn’t surprising. He looks young, but I think there’s a huge reason for it.

An opportunity to get cozy with the president, to have paid accounts without moderation features

A large community of child predators is a great opportunity - to expand roblox into a prestige networking site for the republican party.

How many robux is that?

Only a businessman could look at literally anything at all and call it an opportunity.

Only when paired with precise geo location and cruise missiles.

In other words, Baszucki claims that the reason for the dip in safety spending is directly linked to the adoption of AI systems. One of those moderation systems, announced over the summer, was supposedly designed to detect “early signs” of child endangerment. However, under Baszucki’s social media posts about the tool, you can find dozens of complaints that the AI is failing to stop harmful content.

If I ever have kids, they’ll find that every network at home will block off roblox entirely.

Of course you do. That “think of the children!” is only narrative you’d use to advance that agenda of yours, which usually involve eroding civil liberty.
