Look at the file paths. None of these three are in this talk’s folder. They’re from IDA Driving AI in May — different talk, different audience, same repo, loaded live from where they already live.
Nothing was copied. Those five entries are relative paths to files that belong to other talks and are still maintained there — fix a typo once and every talk that borrows it is fixed. Reordering a talk is editing an array, which is why I stopped dreading the email asking for “the same thing but twenty minutes.” That request now takes about a minute.
The slide contains the animated model itself. Rotate it from the stage, change the camera, or let it run as a restrained loop.
Blender is useful here because the subject is spatial: a production AI system has a core, connected services and information moving between them. The live deck uses the GLB. The PDF exporter sees the compressed poster instead, so the handout stays deterministic.
