Humans barely usereinforcement learning… AK Andrej Karpathy — holds since 2025-10-17 Supervised learning does not happen in animals at all — squirrels do not go to school, and they learn everything about the world anyway. Supervised learningdoes not happen in… RS Richard Sutton — holds since 2025-09-26 Reinforcement learning only works once a model already knows something, which is why robots must be pre-trained by imitation first. Reinforcement learningonly works once a model… SL Sergey Levine — holds since 2025-09-12 Pre-training is not the process by which humans learn; it sits somewhere between human learning and human evolution. Pre-training is not theprocess by which humans… DA Dario Amodei — holds since 2026-02-13 Once a robot is good enough, you can teach it with words instead of with demonstrations, and language becomes a training signal for motor skill. Once a robot is goodenough, you can teach… SL Sergey Levine — holds since 2025-09-12 Learning is not training: a child learns by actively trying things and seeing what happens, not by being shown what to do. Learning is nottraining: a child… RS Richard Sutton — holds since 2025-09-26 Pre-training is a crappy evolution: the practically buildable substitute for the process that gave animals their built-in hardware.
