roblox is a societal ill and its CEO is a monster

Is not fully against the idea of a kind of Polymarket-for-kids on Roblox. Says it'd need to be money-free.
Roose: Would you ever put a prediction market inside Roblox — like, let kids bet with their Robux and say, “I bet he’s gonna steal a Tung Tung Tung Sahur?” Newton: Or, “I bet he’s not gonna Dress to Impress.” Baszucki: We would — I think we would have to do that — once again, I’ll share some of the complexity. Every single country in the world has different legislation around loot boxes and kid gambling. And so we would have to be — it sounds very fun and obvious. Like, I love that — Roose: Oh, to be clear, I think this is a horrible idea. Newton and Baszucki: (laughter) Roose: I was just interested if you were thinking about it. Baszucki: Well, I actually think it’s a brilliant idea if it can be done in an educational way that’s legal. And so, imagine no free Robux, no free prizes, just a game called the Dress to Impress Predictor, where it’s not like trying to get kids’ money or anything like that. I would be a big fan of it. Newton: Interesting.
