The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“Um it now depends on the current state of our diffusion. The nice part about this is that the like diffusion style has some pretty nice properties, specifically that it's uh kind of minimising the uh uh the the relative entropy so the K_L_ divergence between like your your target density and your your your current density.”
