Somehow it did not get much attention, but Signal president Meredith Whittaker (together with Udbhav Tiwari) spoke about the risks and threats from AI-enabled systems.

I also found the talk about Asahi interesting, both from a technical standpoint but also as a nice update what the current status is.

Finally, not recorded, but workshops like

Foundation workshop: Hands-on, how does the Internet work?

by Ingo Blechschmidt, is congress at its best. Getting a diverse set of people with various backgrounds and knowledge levels to ARP spoof in a little over an hour is art.

Meredith's talk was extremely scripted, not very original and then she ducked out of taking any audience questions. Udbhav awkwardly stood there but seemed like he could have had much more to say. It was hard to watch.

Mona Wang's talk early on Day 2 wasn't recorded but was the polar opposite -- Original, off-the-cuff, engaging, and just fun to witness.

To be fair, I believe they answered questions after the talk. At least there was a sizable gathering near the stage.

The Asahi talk was good, but the video switched waaaayyyyy too often between slide only -> slide + speaker -> stage -> only speaker. Made me kinda uncomfortable.

Complain to c3voc, specifically the video mixing! Without feedback like yours they won't know what's best.
