60-second Subway-Surfers-style animation teaches VAE, latent spaces and generation

Ahead of ICLR reviews, @nemishan made a 60-second animation in the "Subway Surfers" short-video style teaching deep learning: inspired by @rakitinden's VAE lecture, it visualizes vases, latent spaces and generation to explain concepts like KL divergence — "even KL divergence needs Subway Surfers now," the author jokes.
Full lecture materials from their Deep Learning 2 course are linked in the post, a fun entry point for VAE/latent-space concepts.
