The links between science fiction and reality have been demonstrated in numerous research studies. By speculating about the possible future uses of technologies under development, science fiction shows us plausible futures. In this sense, it allows us, as a society, to popularize and debate the consequences (expected or not) of our technological developments. In addition to this not negligible social role science fiction also has an impact on our current developments. We speak here of "loop-looping", i.e. there is a feedback loop between what science fiction shows us and what we are then led to actually develop. From this point of view, our imaginations are performative, and this is perhaps the most critical issue: what I see can happen. In the case of hacking and cybersecurity, a particular phenomenon is added: the general public's knowledge of these subjects is mainly through the fictions they watch, read, or listen to. We propose to analyze a corpus of 200 fictional attacks, and 800 real attacks and to compare them to define if the imaginary ones are predictive if they inform us or on the contrary mislead us as for the reality of the current attacks.

Backstage is a platform that helps developers in their job by providing a single portal where everything happens. It aims to reduce the barrier to building new components inside an organization and make it easy for engineers to get set up. It also provides software templates that allow for the creation of boilerplate repositories and documentation alongside components.

Cloud native technologies are expanding into extreme environments, sophisticated workloads, and multi-cluster environments. The community is also focused on expanding its reach to new end users and increasing diversity.
- Cloud native technologies are being pushed into physically extreme environments such as space, offshore oil rigs, and vehicles through projects like kubej and cube edge.
- The introduction of the Volcano project has allowed for the integration of sophisticated scheduling algorithms for machine learning training into cloud native environments.
- The KRM project is focused on cross-cluster, cross-cloud scheduling to create a single pool of resources across different environments.
- The Cloud Native Elite Club is onboarding new end users into the community and focusing on increasing diversity, particularly for women in technology.

The presentation discusses the use of synthetic data and neural networks to generate high-quality labels and diverse datasets for training models. The focus is on assigning a latent code to each asset to represent a family of objects.
- Synthetic data can provide high-quality labels on a pixel level that is impossible to achieve with real data
- Variety in datasets is important for training models
- Assets are generated by 3D artists using a dedicated software and encoded with a family of assets
- Assigning a latent code to each asset can represent a family of objects
- The network is incentivized to decompose information in the latent code
