Generative AI, Game Development and the Future of CivilizationJon Radoff
This is my talk from Gamescom Congress in 2023: the topic is the use of generative AI in game development -- but the context is much broader. This is about the next stage of human civilization, where our minds and our creativity are extended through the use of AI tools and agents. My talk is not only about creativity, but empowerment: tools that act upon our goals and reflect our individuality.
This is a somewhat condensed and updated version of a lecture I presented at the MIT Media Lab course on Metaverse (MAS.S61).

Phil Keslin (Niantic Labs): ar is more than just pixelsAugmentedWorldExpo
A talk from the Inspire Track at AWE USA 2018 - the World's #1 XR Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, California May 30- June 1, 2018.
Phil Keslin (Niantic Labs): ar is more than just pixels
We started with the mission to find ways to inspire people to explore the world around them, getting a little exercise along the way, and having fun doing it with others. Creating exciting and magical experiences tied to the real world seemed like the right way to make this happen. In this talk I’ll share how we started with innovative stories in a virtual world then tied it to unique real world objects and places through various forms of augmented reality to create compelling shared experiences for our players. I’ll conclude with possibilities for future shared experiences that we hope to create.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
