Roblox's popularity has exploded among kids since the pandemic. Today Roblox has more than 150 million daily active users, and functions as one of the primary online gathering places for preteens. But precisely because Roblox is so popular with children, it has also attracted the attention of adult predators. This week we’re joined by Roblox chief executive David Baszucki for a conversation about how the company is responding to allegations that it has become unsafe for children, and the new measures the gaming platform says it’s now implementing to protect them.

  • Hi, this is Eric Kim with New York Times Cooking.

  • As a recipe developer, I spend a lot of my time trying to come up with dishes that are quick,

  • easy, but also very special.

  • For me, that means dishes like Coachegrado Salmon.

  • It's a crispy salmon filet with a salty, sweet glaze that bubbles up in candies.

  • I love cooking this because it only takes 20 minutes.

  • You can get this recipe and so many more ideas on New York Times Cooking.

  • visit nytcooking.com to get inspired.

  • Casey?

  • Yeah.

  • You were in my dream last night.

  • I was.

  • Yes.

  • What was I doing?

  • Now, normally I don't have sort of lucid, vivid dreams,

  • but I've been taking melatonin, which will mess you right up.

  • And last night, I had a dream that starred you in a central role.

  • So I'm not sure whether it was because we talked about space data centers last week,

  • but for some reason,

  • this dream involved you and me deciding to go in a rocket together into outer space.
