When you fail the quick time event

How do we make money off these 40 year old men trying to creep on children?

Dear CEOs: please get some additional CEO training so you don’t pivot into CEO mode when certain subjects come up.

Let’s circle back to the talk about ‘safety’ once we go over these fantastic new AI features we’re implementing

Oh god the whole interview’s more awkward than I thought. Besides, ofc, the AI incorporation

Here’s a sample

Roose: Last year, activist fund and short seller Hindenburg Research came out with a report arguing, among other things, that Roblox was, “compromising child safety in order to report growth to investors.” One of the things they pointed to was that there had been a decline in your spending on trust and safety. You have denied that. Why? What did they have wrong?

Baszucki: Fun. Let’s keep going down this. And so, first off, Hindenburg is no longer in existence, correct? So, you should report on that. They went out of business for some reason. The other thing is, have you researched that information? Roose: Um ——

Smug ass ad profitum :kelly:

Baszucki: Because you’re asking me about this, I’m curious if you’ve done your own research.

Roose: I have, I have done some research about ——

Baszucki: And what’s your take on that?

Roose: Well, I’m asking you.

Baszucki: So it’s really interesting, because I think we’re diving into a situation where we’re getting better, better, better. But would you ask the same situation of someone who converted from maybe hypermanual labor making cars by hand to an assembly line? The assembly line might be infinitely better and at the same time not have so many people. So, I think what they’re referring to is moving more and more and more and more to A.I. Arguably, is it better to have A.I. systems reviewing every image, every piece of text, all of that, or to keep doing that manually? So I think that was a misnomer. And I think if you interview anyone in our safety team or safety systems, that would be just part of making our systems better.

Ah yes, cuz getting a US-based immature AI that confuses A with B is certainly comparable to a more controllable automation of industry a la PRC quality.

It’s only fair that they should represent an opportunity for Roblox after all the opportunities Roblox has provided them.

In a just world, Roblox would be taken down and the people responsible for it either jailed or hung upside in the town square for people to punch them to death. But considering we’re being ruled by psychopaths and literal pedophiles, nothing will happen.

nice username btw that took me like a minute to parse haha

the MBA dialect of corporatese strikes again

Peak CEO brain.

Did you know that the Chinese word for ‘child predator’ is the same as the word for ‘creeper whale’?

I guess I don’t understand the outrage here. Roblox said it IS a problem but also an opportunity to learn how to make the platform more secure while allowing kids to communicate and build communities.

I see it as my responsibility to make sure my kids aren’t getting into trouble. It’s great if Roblox helps, but Roblox security doesn’t guard against sex pests on the street or other games/platforms. In recent news, filing a report about misconduct after the fact is just a parent saying “I wasn’t watching my kid, why didn’t Roblox stop this?” Childish blame games and zero responsibility as a parent.

In my kid’s friends group, at least one parent is always on the group call and all the parents are very active in teaching our kids how scams, predators, and bullies work.

If the kids don’t want us around or try to hide, they’re up to something no good and will lose their internet time. If I don’t have time to watch them, I engage other parents to help. If they can’t help, my kids aren’t allowed on Roblox.
