If software gets solved, could an automated AI factory self-train robotics models?

In this thread on RL and the LLM S-curve, the post raises the key follow-up: if the current path holds, does that imply an automated AI factory could be built to autonomously train models for RL-able tasks like robotics? The reply argues software is obviously going to be solved, but that optimism lives inside the RL-environment box—outside software, computer use and math, the trajectory looks much weaker.
