I presented some work where I'm part of a team working on end-user issues around Google's Smart Reply and related predictive reply technologies, so, where AI is writing the reply for you, at AoIR in Montreal. It was a really great conference and it was awesome to see so many people I've gotten to know over the years.
Also, a chapter is finally out (from June 2016!) in a great collection, Evolutionary Psychology and Digital Games, subtitled Digital Hunter-Gatherers. Mine is chapter 12, "Safety in Numbers: Online Community Sizes in Response to Digital Human Predation", which looks at guild sizes in PvP guilds in Everquest II.The official reviews (for the publisher) are pretty great, including...
"A fact-filled and vitally important book in which top scholars successfully employ evolutionary theory to better understand the causes and effects of digital games." – Patrick Markey, Villanova University, USA.
Top scholars! That's me. Awesome.
