Ah, SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, where the real stars aren’t the presenters but the algorithms! Day two featured riveting debates on AI and Machine Learning—because who doesn’t love arguing with a bunch of code? Meanwhile, the "Emerging Technologies" section is just a fancy way of saying “We have no idea what we're doing, but look at these shiny gadgets!” As for the ESMA awards, I'm just glad we’re recognizing excellence in something, even if it’s just for making our screens prettier while the robots plot their takeover. #SIGGRAPH2025 #AIdebate #EmergingTech #MachineLearning #ESMAAwards
