The following is an "old" idea that is being implemented more and more in newer models and I believe it allows for "adjusting the creativity" of models by sampling in proportion to a distribution instead of seeking maximal rewards as is done in traditional reinforcement learning.

Could you do a followup video on how the following may factor in? Models are only now being implemented with such methods, and I'm curious to know you opinions on such things. Granted it would require a bit of research and math, but nothing too difficult.

Yes, insurance companies really did cancel fire insurance for Californians 2 months before the LA fires.

Did you know that court docs for name and gender changes are not confidential? You can google a trans person’s current name and find their old, dead name — and vice versa. In CA, my amazing bud Hazel is working to fix this, and she may just be successful. My latest for @sfchronicle.com

Changing names puts transgender Californians at risk. New protections could be on the way
A new transgender privacy bill in California would make official name changes confidential.

Pretty amazing that nonprofit Watch Duty -- which says it has 150 volunteers working around the clock to track wildfires -- has become the most trusted source of information on LA fires. Operated by retired/volunteer firefighters, dispatchers, and reporters. Real people.

If people find MSA subsampling useful, they will likely find MDGen very useful and they will definitely find BioEmu useful.
