Debate: RL Environment Synthesis Is Valuable but Not Novel

A discussion thread highlights that a paper's section on RL environment synthesis is valuable, noting that RL environment synthesis is now both high-value and easy to do, which is exciting.
Replying, @stochasticchasm argues nothing here stands out as particularly novel — just sensible engineering that combines various previously used methods, plus better model capability allowing agents to do more.
