This has some real “Larry I work on ducktales” energy

Construction workers built all the houses.

Why shouldn't they own it?

His way of saying that he wants to charge us a subscription fee for breathing

Btw, he isnt the creator, he is just the fourth engineer they hired. He is much more a content creator (and game patent asshole) than the creator: https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Shedletsky

E: he also created this "A Bridge Too Far is a game that was created on September 21, 2007. The objective of the game is to blow up the bridge." Which as a Dutch guy just makes a lot of alarm bells go off. (In market garden the bridges needed to be taken intact). Im not saying he is a crypto neonazi btw, it is just a dumb bad name.

The tweet before that:

Let me tell you something about Akash. During a project at Berkeley, I accidentally deleted our entire codebase 2 days before the deadline. I panicked. Akash just stared at the screen, shrugged, and rewrote everything from scratch in one night—better than before.

This says more about you, the scale of the project, bad organisation of your group, and the lack of challenge of Berkeley (nice namedrop though) group projects, and the failure of understanding the excersize (the goal is to learn how to work as a group and notice the networking problems), and the goals of being at a university (networking, partying and learning) than anything else.

Hell I know of a project that also did this and they didnt manage to rewrite the project, as it actually took a lot of time.

Judging by the rate at which every commercial piece of technology that exists gets enshitified nowadays, I don't think they should be the ones building the modern world either.

Roblox is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with capitalism

You inherited what from who now?

Odd, because a huge part of the problem is that Silicon Valley is running too much of the modern world. Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Google et al run their respective ecosystems as a de facto government. An unelected and undemocratic government.

I'm pretty sure that if we fed a handful of fascist billionaires to a wood chipper, the rest would be much easier to manage.

The world you built is proper shit. That's why.

A world run by Roblox would mean worldwide child labor, getting paid in company scrip and widespread abuse. That's why you shouldn't run it, asswipe.

Silicon Valley built all the worst parts of the modern world. Most of the genuinely useful discoveries and technological innovations were made in govt funded academia, and co-opted by industry into creepy ways to control whole populations

The development of AI came from our stolen personal data. Why shouldn't we communalise it?

Been sniffing your own farts much?

Because government and society are not a fucking video game you pretentious jackass.

So that's why he lets children became nazis there? That's why he lets pedophiles roaming freely? That's why his company added predatory monetization?

Silicon Valley built the modern world

Ofcom urged to act after US firm claims Roblox is ‘paedophile hellscape’

Explains a lot

Didn't DARPA and University research and a shitload of public funding technically build the modern world?

Oh, you mean the guy who invented the thing that works on child labor, takes children’s pocket money and exposes them to predators?

You'd really think people would look at the state of the world and try to wash their hands of responsibility, not take credit. Just how out of touch is Mr child exploitation.

It's a small comfort that even Twitter is giving this take the reception it deserves.

Yeah, because Roblox is the model we want to shape society after. The fucking hubris is of the charts with these arseholes.

Hahaha get the guillotines out.

Did he donate to Trump? Would we see federal institutions paying workers robux?
