  1. Our readingSynthetic experience can only rehearse what a system already knows; information about the world has to be injected from outside.

    Their wordsSo here's what I would say that deep down at a very fundamental level the synthetic experience that you create yourself doesn't allow you to learn more about the world. It allows you to rehearse things. It allows you to consider counterfactuals but somehow information about the world needs to get injected into the system.

  3. Our readingThe goal was never good simulation; it was answering counterfactuals, and a value function does that job as well as a simulator does.

    Their wordsIt tells us that the key is not necessarily to do really good simulation. The key is to figure out how to answer counterfactuals.
