Hard Fork · We Asked Roblox’s C.E.O. About Child Safety. It Got Tense. · 21 Nov 2025 podcast

But I do think this is something worth thinking about.

Oh, wow.

I thought we were going to talk about Polymarket and like dropping like things into Roblox, like earnings calls.

So I assume you are both big fans.

Yep.

So I had to really—I don't know if you had the experience, independent of political party or anything, just a real-time science experiment.

On election night, I had four screens, like journalists of all journalists, and like, how do I quickly go from journalist to journalist?

And then with my family, we were watching Polymarket as well, and we were comparing Polymarket to the comments of all the journalists.

And I do think Polymarket was coming through like 30 to 45 minutes ahead of them.

And it was an interesting thought experiment to see like, okay, we're at 86% here, whether you like or dislike the way it was going, and then see various journalists commenting

like, say different things.

I think mathematically...

There's the notion that prediction markets, if they're liquid and transparent, capture, in a way, all of the world's information and every signal.

And if there is one election counter way out in the corner in some weird county that knows it's going to go this way, if they could go bet $10,000, that's going to nudge the thing and make the information more perfect.

So I'm a huge fan of that.

Yeah.

I think we would have to do that...

Once again, I'll share some of the complexity.

Every single country in the world has different legislation around loot boxes and kid gambling.
