Introducing 4D Creation Open Beta and the Future of Gaming with Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki

Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki discusses the company's 20-year vision to build the "Holodeck," a high-fidelity, 4D simulation for human co-experience. He explains how Roblox is leveraging its 13 billion monthly hours of vector data to train native AI models for advanced NPCs, moving beyond simple LLMs to create "virtual doppelgängers." Baszucki also covers the future of immersive communication, AI's role in transforming game creation, and Roblox's unique, data-driven approach to hiring talent.
