This week, Allison has a tiny hat that all about real hats, Janelle Shane's project HAT3000. The big hat this week is actually HAIM, a language model that seeks to guide generation by providing the transformer both a start and end point! Then, it's time to go back to school. Justin guides Allison through some generative essay writing as she earns a series of degrees from different schools including the exact replica of USC: Santa Cruz inside the game Skyrim.
