Verge deputy editor Alex Heath sat down at Code 2023 to chat with Roblox CEO David Baszucki. Roblox definitely started out as a kid thing, but the company has big plans to change all that, and Alex got to find out a bit about how that’s going. Roblox is determined to be a platform, even more than a product — something users can develop games and experiences on. And of course, David and Alex spoke about AI, and the opportunities it presents for Roblox in the not-too-distant future. #Roblox #Code2023 #Technology
