Researcher Challenges 'Verifiability' Intuition: RLVR Generalizes via Manufactured Information Asymmetry
kalomaze · x · 2026-09-12
Researcher kalomaze tweets that he's increasingly opposed to the popular intuition that "spiky capabilities are a function of how verifiable a domain is" — the idea that only math/SWE-shaped fields will fall to RLVR.
His counter-thesis: the underlying primitive is information asymmetry, and you can almost always manufacture it. Even domains that aren't naturally verifiable can get usable reward signals by constructing asymmetry, so RLVR may generalize far beyond current consensus.
