"The model generated totally different output every time you ran it, even with fixed seeds." - I remember seeing code takedowns of the model from anti-lockdown people who repeatedly cite this issue. But there is a valid reason for

Veritasium is fantastic, I can't think of many current or past TV shows that are of a similar quality to his videos. A while back he did a video of his own startup story, which was very cool: https://www.youtube.com/wat
