[ali @waterloo_intern]

The jaggedness of LLMs, and the excuse that their capabilities emerge from RL on environments curated for revenue potential, is proof enough to me that there is no such thing as RL generalization. It makes me very bearish on RL being the algorithm that gets us to AGI.

And if we do get there, it will be a disgustingly inefficient and unsatisfying success, because we will have done so by mobilizing the world economy to create environments for every fucking task, such that nothing is out of distribution. If every new task needs its own environment, what exactly is generalizing?

If that’s the path, environment/data selling companies will be the most valuable in existence, second only to the labs. This is stupid. The concept of RSI is stupid. Intelligence, by definition, is generalization...but all we have is omniscience.

We're starting weekly updates on the Moda blog to share what we're shipping and learning.

In our first issue:

- Jev helps us detect more specific signals
- Full conversation analysis catches problems that a single scan can miss
- We rebuilt the dashboard and trace views to make problems easier to investigate
- You can now ask questions about alerts directly in Slack
- Import your Braintrust history and find signals in past traces
