"Roblox CEO David Baszucki recognizes the struggle. On the "Access" podcast, the executive was asked about his recent sabbatical, where he'd spent some delving into AI. "It was very humbling," Baszucki said. "It is hard to get to a position where you can understand all of those research papers." Baszucki founded Roblox in 2005. In the company's early days, the CEO said that he read "all the research," from physics simulation to rendering technology."
"Then came the "horizontal wave" of AI research, which Baszucki called "so massive and so fast." From transformers to diffusion and world models, there's "a lot going on," he said. Over the past few years, AI research has expanded from an academic subject to a national interest. Major tech companies, such as Meta and Microsoft, have developed in-house research labs - and awarded lucrative compensation packages to top AI researchers."
A concentrated review of recent AI papers revealed that the volume and pace of modern AI research make comprehensive understanding difficult. Research has broadened horizontally across techniques such as transformers, diffusion models, and world models, generating a rapid influx of specialized work. 3D and gaming-related AI research remains at an early stage despite broader industry advances. Research publication practices are shifting toward greater privacy as companies build in-house labs and reduce public disclosures. Major tech firms are investing heavily in talent and compute and offering lucrative compensation to attract top AI researchers.
