What talks are people most interested in?

It looks like Joscha Bach [0] is continuing his "From Computation to Consciousness" series. I've enjoyed some of his older talks so I'll probably check out this new entry as well.

A few of the science talks related to biology also seem really interesting, although it reminds me of how much I'm lacking in understanding and knowledge of the topic. It looks like there's a big focus on mixing generative AI with biology research, and I don't know enough to disambiguate whether there truly innovative work happening or if this is an attempt to ride the AI hype cycle. Does anyone here have experience and knowledge on the topic to suggest whether the talks are worth checking out?

I would expect most of them bring critical and sceptical about AI, just like the general vibe here on HN.
For me it's all the embedded and crypto stuff.
Crypto as in keys, not crypto as in coins?

Can’t believe I have to ask that these days
