Frank Lantz: Games All the Way Down

Join us for an engaging evening with Frank Lantz, a game designer, creator of Universal Paperclips, writer, and founding chair of the NYU Game Center. Frank will explore the concept of games as a way of seeing the world, treating them as aesthetic objects and thinking tools.

Topics of Discussion:

• Why are there no great AI-facilitated games (yet)? 🤖
• The peculiar influence of RAND Corp, which Frank refers to as the 'Military Industrial Hipster Complex.'
• The beauty of poker compared to blackjack, and how this beauty can inform the design of prediction markets.

Schedule:

• 6:30 PM: Dinner served (3F Cafe) - with vegan options 🌱
• 7:30 PM: Talk and Q&A
• 8:30 PM: Continued hangouts
