On today’s episode of FYI, hosts Andrew Kim and Nicholas Grous are joined by Roblox CTO Daniel Sturman, as they venture into the dynamic world of this gaming platform. Roblox empowers users to both create and experience unique content. Join us as we explore the multifaceted ways people leverage this technology, from crafting games and orchestrating music concerts to forging immersive brand experiences. We’ll also venture into the future of virtual reality (VR) and emphasize the significance of offering users the choice to engage with content in their preferred manner. Stay tuned for a discussion with Daniel, as we discuss Roblox’s success, confront the challenges in rendering realistic 3D generations, and discover how the company is ensuring safety and civility on the platform. “We try very hard not to create any of our own content. The general idea behind Roblox was one of bringing 3D simulation to people and letting them create whatever they wanted out of that.” – Daniel Sturman Key Points From This Episode: Roblox as a content creation platform Showcasing an early demo of an artificial intelligence (AI) system; enhancing product features Utilizing generative AI to boost casual creative accessibility Addressing challenges in 3D generation and intricate avatar movement Navigating inefficiencies with models not designed for 3D data Leveraging rich safety data to refine generative AI models Anticipating immersive experiences, personalized touches, and expansive growth Prioritizing safety and custom experiences Exploring VR and phone avenues for immersive content creation Enhancing virtual reality communication through spatial sound; ensuring privacy and civility Innovating with real-time word censoring and substitution in models Approaching the horizon of arbitrary generation of user components
