AI Joke: A 1903 RL-Environment Startup Ships PlaneEval, Humanity Stuck at Wright Flyer
akbirthko · x · 2026-10-12
An AI-circle satire: projecting today's RL-environment startup frenzy back to 1903 — a startup ships the benchmark PlaneEval, and "instructions unclear, humanity stuck at Wright Flyer."
The joke skewers the current wave of RL environment and benchmark startups: a poorly designed eval can lock an entire field at a low capability level instead of driving progress.
