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.

Maybe I've already had an aneurysm and this reality is merely a terrible delusion borne of that.

Simulated underage children! We call them honey pots… you can add one to your kids account for an extra $50 a month.

ok, that's enough Capitalism, i think

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

Ignorance is letting your kid play roblox. Scumbag platform.

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

Really leans into CEO is just a serial killer in a different setting.

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.

Their greed has messed up their perceptions. Just disgusting.

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

Whaaaat

PaaS, pedo as a service?

Only when paired with precise geo location and cruise missiles.

This guy has a certificate in SWOT analysis and he is gonna use it

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.

You want to go back and reword that?

Sue them out of existence. They are not going to stop.

An opportunity it's, like Dexter? But instead of murdering murderers he rapes child rapists?

More tech bros making bank from crimes. Lovely

Lordy, I hate sensationalized editorial headlines. This is the actual quote.

Asked by co-host Casey Newton how he thinks about the issue of child predators on his platform, the Roblox CEO said the issue wasn’t just a “problem, but an opportunity as well.”

This is standard corpo/PR speak when addressing an issue, you refer to it as an "opportunity", there's an implied "to solve/address".

In bazuski's defense, he's a moron.

Opportunity to put them in the morgue where they belong, right?
