AI visual note: A French train station labeled "Montaigu-Vendée" stands with several parked cars in the foreground, including a white sedan. The image contrasts with the post's reference to NeurIPS 2024, suggesting someone is humorously "still" at the conference rather than having returned home to this rural French location.
