In this raw interview he exposes the daily trauma of viewing CSAM, knocking on doors of hidden pedophiles (doctors, lawyers, even cops), family cover-ups, maternal failures to protect, escalating depravity from images to live-stream abuse, grooming via games like Roblox, sextortion of young kids, and why the justice system often fails victims with soft sentences. #ChildAbuse #PoliceStories #OnlineGrooming Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 00:00 Joining Police & Path to Child Protection 02:30 Childhood Trauma & Why He Chose This Work 05:00 Uniform Days in Luton & Early Shocks 07:30 Transition to Child Protection & Family Abuse Cases 10:00 How Physical & Sexual Abuse Gets Reported 13:00 Extreme Child Cruelty Cases & Parental Failures 16:00 Mothers Not Protecting Kids – Unforgivable Examples 19:00 Hidden Pedophiles: Profiles & Everyday People 22:00 Porn Escalation to Child Abuse Imagery 25:00 Door-Knock Arrests & The Life-Changing Moment 28:00 Families Torn Apart by Investigations 31:00 Desensitization & Addiction to Horrific Material 34:00 Weak Justice System & Soft Sentences 37:30 Prevention Options – Lucy Faithfull & Therapy 40:00 Daily CSAM Viewing Trauma for Officers 43:30 Shocking Baby Abuse Case & Court Outcome 46:30 Sex Offenders Management & Reoffending Risks 49:30 Escalating Depravity – Live Streams & Worse 52:30 Grooming, Sextortion & Dangers to Young Kids 55:30 Parental Advice – Monitoring Devices & Red Flags 58:30 Sharenting & Social Media Predator Risks 01:01:00 High-Profile Cases & Tech-Savvy Offenders 01:04:00 Dark Web vs File Sharing – How Material Spreads 01:07:00 A Heretic Paul admires Learn more about your ad choices.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment from Analytic Dreamz dives deep into the 2025 video game industry landscape, drawing from Matthew Ball's State of Video Gaming 2026 report. Global content sales reached a record $195.6 billion, up 5.3% year-over-year, marking three straight years of growth and surpassing the 2021 peak despite ongoing structural challenges.This episode breaks down the paradox: record revenue contrasts with a 55% collapse in private funding, ongoing layoffs totaling ~44,000 jobs from 2022-2025 (9,200 in 2025 alone, down 40% from 2024), and a surge in outsourcing now at 35.5% of content investment. Console spending hit $41.6 billion, driven by subscriptions like PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch Online offsetting declining direct sales, while PC grew strongly to $40.7 billion.Key drivers include China capturing 38% of global spending growth and Roblox alone accounting for 67% of net industry expansion, with peaks of 47.3 million concurrent users. Mobile shows warning signs of flat growth reliant on price hikes rather than new players.Analytic Dreamz explores projected 2026 opportunities in non-core markets, advertising, direct-to-consumer models, external development, and platforms like Roblox. The takeaway: the industry isn't monolithic—growth is uneven, concentrated, and service-driven across segmented ecosystems.Tune in for this essential analysis on the state of gaming today and tomorrow.

*This episode contains sensitive material and talk of suicide, audience discretion is advised* In this heartbreaking, shocking and emotionally raw episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen talks with Jason Sokolowski, a Canadian father whose daughter died by suicide in 2025 after being groomed by someone she met on Roblox and was messaging with on Discord. Penelope was just 16-years-old when someone going by the screen name “Culprit”, a member of the vicious online group 764, encouraged her to commit heinous acts, self harm and eventually to take her own life. Today, Penelope's father Jason speaks out about what he went through in the hopes to educate parents and adults on 764, the online group that prey upon our children to commit horrendous acts of self-harm and violence against themselves and others.

In this episode of Protect Our Kids, host Kristi Bush discusses the recent updates to Roblox, focusing on the new mandatory age verification for chatting, the ongoing safety concerns regarding inappropriate content and grooming, and the importance of parental involvement in monitoring children's online activities. Kristi emphasizes that while Roblox has implemented safety measures, active supervision and communication with children are essential to ensure their safety in the digital space.TakeawaysRoblox has introduced mandatory age verification for chat features.Kids are finding ways to bypass age checks using parent selfies.There are serious global concerns about grooming on Roblox.Parental awareness and oversight are crucial for child safety.Roblox has built-in safety tools, but they require active parental involvement.Content filtering and reporting tools are available for parents.Parents should familiarize themselves with the app's settings and controls.Age-based protections are only effective if the child's age is accurate.Safety requires a combination of technology and parental supervision.Regular check-ins with children about their online experiences are essential.

Mewgenics is de nieuwste hitgame van 2026, een combinatie van genres van de hand van Edmund McMillen, die ruim vijftien jaar terug indiegamehits Super Meat Boy en The Binding of Isaac maakte. Daniël Mol is in zijn nieuwste werk katten gaan fokken en vertelt er vol enthousiasme over bij Joe van Burik in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Mewgenics is nu te spelen via Steam op Windows pc. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis. Over Joe van BurikJoe van Burik is presentator, podcastmaker en techredacteur bij BNR Nieuwsradio. Je hoort hem bijna dagelijks in de Tech Update met het laatste nieuws over digitale technologie, en gaat daar in De Grote Tech Show (samen met Ben van der Burg) elke woensdag dieper op in met gasten uit de techwereld. Daarnaast maakt hij onder meer de podcast All in the Game, voor iedereen die meer wil horen over videogames.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the first half of this episode, we sit down with Nick from Pod of Thunder for a fascinating conversation about podcasting, nostalgia, and Canadian music legends.We kick things off discussing an intriguing podcast concept about screenwriting based on album tracks before diving into memories of obscure 70s TV shows and how YouTube has transformed from a platform for random content into a nostalgia powerhouse and instructional video library.The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore AI technology—both its benefits and pitfalls. Nick shares a story about AI providing completely incorrect information, while we discuss how AI can be useful for tasks like product reviews. We also talk about the importance of family in podcasting, with Nick sharing stories about his mom's involvement in Pod of Thunder.We explore how COVID-19 changed podcasting forever by normalizing virtual recording and remote guests, comparing our different setups (StreamYard vs. Zoom) and discussing the evolution of podcast equipment over the years.The highlight of the episode is our deep dive into Nardwuar the Human Serviette, the legendary Canadian music interviewer known for his eccentric persona and encyclopedic knowledge of bands. We watch clips of his iconic interviews with KISS and Divine, discuss his unique interviewing style, and celebrate his upcoming induction into the Order of Canada. Nick also introduces us to Norman Gunston, another character-based interviewer, and his hilarious KISS parody album "Kiss Army."We wrap up this segment with discussions about family-friendly entertainment, video games like Roblox and Minecraft, and some memorable concert experiences.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/Merch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public
La segunda semana de febrero ha estado marcada por un fuerte protagonismo de la regulación tecnológica, la inteligencia artificial y las grandes maniobras corporativas en los sectores digital y energético. En Europa, el debate sobre la protección de los menores en entornos digitales continúa intensificándose. El primer ministro de la República Checa respaldó la prohibición de redes sociales para menores de 15 años, sumándose a una corriente cada vez más extendida en el continente. En paralelo, la Comisión Europea advirtió que las grandes plataformas deberán reforzar su lucha contra el ciberacoso, anticipando posibles actualizaciones de la Ley de Servicios Digitales para endurecer las obligaciones de protección infantil. También en este ámbito, Australia convocó a Roblox tras denuncias de acoso infantil y exposición a contenido gráfico, mientras en Estados Unidos arrancó un juicio histórico contra Meta y YouTube para determinar si el diseño de sus plataformas puede considerarse legalmente responsable de fomentar la adicción en menores. En el frente corporativo y geopolítico, Rusia intensificó su estrategia de soberanía digital. Por un lado, endureció la presión sobre Telegram con nuevas amenazas de multas y restricciones. Por otro, bloqueó completamente WhatsApp en el país, promoviendo el uso del mensajero estatal MAX, en un movimiento que refuerza su apuesta por infraestructuras tecnológicas bajo control nacional. En Italia, la Guardia di Finanza registró la sede de Amazon en Milán en el marco de una nueva investigación fiscal sobre posible establecimiento permanente no declarado entre 2019 y 2024. La inteligencia artificial volvió a situarse en el centro del escenario global. Anthropic protagonizó la mayor ronda de financiación de la semana al alcanzar una valoración de 380.000 millones de dólares tras captar 30.000 millones adicionales, consolidando la carrera por la IA empresarial. ByteDance, matriz de TikTok, aceleró su apuesta por el desarrollo de un chip propio de IA y negocia su fabricación con Samsung para asegurar capacidad productiva en un contexto de escasez de semiconductores avanzados. Mientras tanto, Amazon prepara el lanzamiento de un mercado de contenidos dentro de AWS para facilitar la licencia de materiales a empresas de inteligencia artificial, en plena redefinición de las reglas sobre derechos y uso de datos.
We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

2026 could make or break Roblox. That's because the multi-billion dollar children's video game company is mired in dozens of private lawsuits on top of multiple probes from several state governments, the FTC and the DOJ. In this episode of The Capitol Forum Investigates, reporter Ethan Ehrenhaft sits down with Arjun Singh to talk about the future of Roblox in the wake of major allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse on its platform.Follow The Capitol Forum on Bluesky or Linkedin
Supercell's annual letter was supposed to be routine. Instead, it triggered backlash around Clash Royale's “resurgence” narrative. Influencers were credited for growth, including major names amplifying the story, which upset parts of the community. The reaction escalated to organized boycotts, forcing Ilkka Paananen to issue an apology and update the letter publicly. Meanwhile, revenue tells a simpler story: Clash Royale spiked aggressively, then dropped aggressively, returning close to its previous baseline.Layoffs continue across the industry. Riot cut around 80 people from its 2XKO fighting game. Ubisoft faces union-led strikes following structural division moves that look increasingly like pre-sale positioning. Highguard is downsizing shortly after launch. Unity stock dropped roughly 30%, founders exited, and Bernard Kim steps in. Contrast that with AppLovin reporting $5.4–5.5B revenue in 2025, up ~70% YoY. One side restructures. The other compounds.On the upside, indie and system-driven plays are thriving. The Steam indie hit sold 500k copies in its first week. ARK Raiders drove revenue growth to $3.1B (+6.5%). Overwatch doubled its concurrent record to 165k after a story-driven update. Arknights: Endfield crossed $30M within weeks of launch. The lesson is clear: execution and product-market clarity still win, even when public markets wobble.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Connor Pugs tells a Storytime about a Roblox Kid THREATENS The Principal…Listen to my stories on Spotify:
Supercell's annual CEO blog post reads equal parts culture memo and a recruiting pitch. We break down what is behind the PR spin before zooming into Clash Royale's Lil Wayne halftime show as a case study in where “brand” ends and product-led fandom begins.From there, we triangulate the broader market: Newzoo's year-end PC/console recap as a reminder that attention is consolidating, not expanding; Roblox's growth story as it starts acknowledging gravity; and an update on Budge and PE as capital keeps rewriting the rules of what “good” looks like. We close by wishing the best to the team impacted by Riot's 2XKO layoffs.00:31 Podcast Overview and Today's Topics00:58 Market News: Roblox Earnings and More02:14 AI and Gaming Industry Insights03:25 Unity's Financial Struggles04:43 Community Engagement and Volunteering20:44 Game Industry Updates: Budge Studios Acquisition24:23 Roblox Q4 Earnings Analysis32:19 The Challenge of Monetizing Young Audiences32:33 Roblox's Strategy to Age Up33:02 Advertising Challenges for Under-18 Demographics33:26 Negative Margin Users on Roblox35:19 Upcoming Episode Teaser: Roblox's Algorithm Changes38:23 Supercell CEO's Annual Blog Post39:05 Clash Royale's Rebound and Marketing Strategies44:14 Squad Busters: A Postmortem44:54 Supercell's Future and Industry Insights49:01 The Role of PR in CEO Letters52:18 Supercell's Innovation vs. LiveOps Debate01:02:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment explores Discord's major safety overhaul: the global rollout of "teen-by-default" settings starting early March 2026. With over 200 million monthly users, the platform is shifting all new and existing accounts to a teen-appropriate experience by default, requiring age verification to unlock full adult access and features.Under these changes, unverified users face restrictions including blurred sensitive content, blocked access to age-gated servers, channels, and app commands, limited direct messages from unknowns (routed to a separate inbox), friend request warnings from unfamiliar accounts, and no speaking permissions on stage channels for teen accounts.To regain unrestricted access, users must complete private age verification via facial age estimation (selfie video processed locally on-device with AI, no data leaving the device) or government ID upload (handled by a third-party vendor and deleted post-verification). A future background age inference model may assist. Verification is typically one-time, remains private, and aligns with prior implementations in the UK and Australia for legal compliance.Discord is also launching a Teen Council of 10–12 members aged 13–17 to advise on teen safety, online needs, and community features, with applications open through May 1, 2026.This update builds on existing measures like banning teen dating channels, blocking AI-generated CSAM, and automated filters—while addressing past concerns, including a 2025 verification vendor hack leaking 70,000 ID photos. It positions Discord alongside platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Roblox in prioritizing minor protections without fully limiting verified adults.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the implications for users, privacy trade-offs, verification processes, and what this means for Discord's community in 2026 and beyond.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
After a volatile few months across games, tech, and public markets, it's time for a grounded check-in on where the industry actually stands. Host Devin Becker is joined by Aaron Bush (Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Naavik) to unpack the latest signals – from AAA publisher performance and what recent EA earnings suggest for big franchises like Battlefield, to Ubisoft's ongoing restructuring, studio closures, and the push to reframe its future through initiatives like Vantage Studios.Next, they dig into Roblox's continued growth and what its recent results imply, even as age-related scrutiny and safety conversations remain part of the narrative.From there, the discussion widens to the state of the console market: the early momentum around Switch 2 sales, the trajectory of Xbox hardware, and why Sony appears to be holding its ground.Devin and Aaron also look at how transmedia is shaping perception and demand, including Nintendo's recent moves and what releases like an upcoming Mario Galaxy movie – and the surprise success of Iron Lung this month – reveal about IP leverage, audience crossover, and timing.They close with addressing the market whiplash around the reveal of Google DeepMind's Genie 3, and a “buy, sell, or hold” round covering Microsoft, Krafton, AAA vs. AA, and PC gaming to highlight where near-term opportunities and risks may be emerging.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In today's heavy episode, we dive deep into the case of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie. We break down the shifting timeline, what law enforcement (Puma County Sheriff's and the FBI) actually knows, and the complexity introduced by ransom notes, digital evidence (doorbell camera, pacemaker app), and the growing concerns around AI voice manipulation in high-profile cases. We also look at the emotional pleas from the Guthrie family as they navigate this absolute nightmare. Plus, we cover another missing person case involving two teens who were thankfully recovered after being lured from their home through conversations that started on Roblox and moved to other platforms. This case serves as a critical reminder to have urgent conversations with your family about online safety, red flags, and setting up a family password in this technological age.

If you live in a rural area, you already know the struggle: the internet will have you stuck in the dark ages… and then everybody acts surprised when you can't stream, work, or upload a thing. In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I'm talking with Mashood Ahmad, founder and CEO of Gigabit IQ — known as the UK's "Safe Broadband Provider." Mashood has spent 25+ years in telecom and broadband, and he's on a mission to make internet access not only fast, but also safer for families. And y'all… we get into the part parents are exhausted by: online safety. Because once kids hit the internet, it can turn into the Wild West real quick — especially for autistic and neurodivergent kids who may be more vulnerable to manipulation, grooming, cyberbullying, and unsafe content. We talk about why "basic" parental controls aren't enough when you've got 20 devices in one house, and how network-level tools (aka controls that work across your home Wi-Fi) can reduce the chaos. We also get REAL about: Why "super fast fiber" isn't always super, fast, or fiber Roblox, in-game chats, and how "kid games" can still be unsafe FamilyGuard+ features like age-based filtering, screen time limits, app blocking, alerts, and VPN bypass blocking (because these kids are SMART smart) How parents can set digital boundaries without turning into full-time detectives Why safety needs to be the standard — like seatbelts — not an optional add-on Connect with Mashood / Gigabit IQ: Website: gigabitiq.com Learn about FamilyGuard+: Gigabit IQ FamilyGuard+
Patrick Klepek on the reality of parenting in the age of Roblox and YouTube. I listened to hours of podcasts about how screen time affects kids of all ages and how parents should manage screen time but I still felt completely unprepared for this challenge when I had a kid. I think the reason for that is that there's a lot of reporting about how screens are impacting kids, and a lot of reporting about the research into this subject, but rarely did I encounter a conversation between parents that talks about how any of that information can be realistically applied in the real world. This week on the podcast we're joined by Patrick Klepek in order to have the kind of conversation I wish I heard before I became a parent, but I think there's something here for everyone. Patrick is the cofounder of Remap, a website and one of my favorite podcasts about video games, and the writer behind Crossplay, a newsletter about the intersection of parenting and games. Patrick is also my former colleague at Vice, back when I worked at Motherboard and he at Waypoint. Patrick has been reporting about video games for most of his life, is a wonderful writer, and a parent. I find his perspective on many of these issues—screen time, parental controls, YouTube, Roblox—extremely useful and interesting, and I hope you do as well.

In this week's FOLLOW UP, Bitcoin is down 15%, miners are unplugging rigs because paying eighty-seven grand to mine a sixty-grand coin finally failed the vibes check, and Grok is still digitally undressing men—suggesting Musk's “safeguards” remain mostly theoretical, which didn't help when X offices got raided in France. Spain wants to ban social media for kids under 16, Egypt is blocking Roblox outright, and governments everywhere are flailing at the algorithmic abyss.IN THE NEWS, Elon Musk is rolling xAI into SpaceX to birth a $1.25 trillion megacorp that wants to power AI from orbit with a million satellites, because space junk apparently wasn't annoying enough. Amazon admits a “high volume” of CSAM showed up in its AI training data and blames third parties, Waymo bags a massive $16 billion to insist robotaxis are working, Pinterest reportedly fires staff who built a layoff-tracking tool, and Sam Altman gets extremely cranky about Claude's Super Bowl ads hitting a little too close to home.For MEDIA CANDY, we've got Shrinking, the Grammys, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's questionable holographic future, Neil Young gifting his catalog to Greenland while snubbing Amazon, plus Is It Cake? Valentines and The Rip.In APPS & DOODADS, we test Sennheiser earbuds, mess with Topaz Video, skip a deeply cursed Python script that checks LinkedIn for Epstein connections, and note that autonomous cars and drones will happily obey prompt injection via road signs—defeated by a Sharpie.IN THE LIBRARY, there's The Regicide Report, a brutal study finding early dementia signals in Terry Pratchett's novels, Neil Gaiman denying allegations while announcing a new book, and THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, vibing with The Muppet Show as Disney names a new CEO. We round it out with RentAHuman.ai dread relief via paper airplane databases, free Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert—still classy in the digital wasteland.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Anthropic drops Opus 4.6. Twenty minutes later, OpenAI fires back with GPT-5.3 Codex. This is the AI agentic coding arms race and it's moving fast. Both AI models are writing code that can write itself now. OpenAI is using 5.3 to improve its own tooling. Opus 4.6 is "voicing discomfort with being a product." We tested both and break down what actually matters for people building stuff. Plus Kling 3.0 is out (and harder to prompt than you think), OpenClaw bots are hiring humans on rent-a-human.ai, Roblox launches prompt-to-3D creation, and robots are now doing 130K step challenges in negative 47 degree weather.

I spoke with Ken Fish about a sign I witnessed, what it could mean, and why discernment matters as church scandals surface. I then had a wide ranging conversation with Brent Dusing of @TruPlayGames on Big Tech discrimination, kids content, and why parents should pay attention to platforms like Roblox.

Today, we have a special guest on the podcast, Keith Lucas, a startup advisor specializing in product, growth, people and culture. Keith led product and engineering at Roblox, helping scale its infrastructure, product offerings, team and business. Most recently, Keith published a book entitled Impact: How to Inspire, Align, and Amplify Innovative Teams. All book proceeds go to charities to help young entrepreneurs, so make sure you check the link in the notes and grab the book today.In our chat, Keith is going to walk us through key concepts in the book, surrounding centering your team around the vision and mission of what you are driving towards, from recruiting to execution to "coaching out".Questions:What was your goal in writing this book? What were you hoping to accomplish?In Chapter 1, you mention purpose inspiring action. How does aligning to purpose drive urgency, without resulting in burnout or being an "antiquated mandate", like you mention in Chapter 2?You state "Culture is what you do, not what you say"... How does a leader's daily behavior - especially around micromanagement or decision-making speed - define the team's realized values, overriding the company's codified ones?I found the idea of The Cascade (Chapter 5) interesting, mapping core beliefs to execution alignment. In terms of feedback, what is the difference between "belief busting" and "hypothesis busting" feedback? How should leaders respond to each in order to maintain trust and agility?How often should entrepreneurial teams deliberately challenge and re-org autonomous pods to optimize for agility and opportunity, over long term stability?Now this is interesting - the "okay contributor", you define as a person who meets standards in all areas but shows no exceptionalism. Why is this person more damaging to a culture of mastery, than the high talent disrupter?What is a Mission Athlete? When recruiting, how does preparing a vision doc for a role shift the recruiting conversation from transactional to one focused on strategic alignment and ownership?You mention in Chapter 8 that compensation can be a distraction. What core mistakes do scaling startups make with compensation that turn it from a non-issue into an energy-sapping problem that erodes retention?You define Coaching Out as the intentional process of protecting the productive from the disruptive, treating an exit as a non-personal assessment that maintains decency and clarity. Can you describe the GYOR continuum?Why should leaders avoid formal PIP's when dealing with a struggling team member? What must replace it to ensure accountability and decency?SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.

Connor Pugs tells a Storytime about The Most SUS Roblox Kid… this Roblox Story is CRAZYListen to my stories on Spotify:
Have a Seat with Chris Hansen continues its coverage and conversation surrounding the gaming platform Roblox and the controversy of their questionable security measures. On this episode, Chris Hansen is joined by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti who is joining his AG colleagues and filed a lawsuit against the company ‘alleging that they lure children into an environment it knows is dangerous but promises is safe, in violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)”. Hansen and Skrmetti discuss how parents are being mislead into believing the platform is safe for children and how it should be a red flag that Roblox won't let law enforcement on the platform to investigate criminal activity and complaints. If you've been following the Roblox headlines, it's another episode of Have a Seat you won't want to miss.
