I especially found the talk titled &ldquo;Surveilling Politicians, Unmasking Influencers, Fake Likes and Dying Together&rdquo; by Dries Depoorter to be especially memorable. It wasn&rsquo;t a particularly technical talk, but the creativity he shown through his work was something that I thought was particularly hilarious and admirable. This is even more so nowadays where we tend to outsource our thinking to LLMs.</p>
