RLVR produces "evolved modularity" AIs; 3D reasoning gains confirmed as RL-trained, not emergent

jessicata argues the pre-training era produced "universal learning machine" AIs, while the RLVR era produces "evolved modularity" AIs — specific cognitive functionality shaped by environments with performance pressure. Quoting @xuanalogue: the sudden 3D reasoning gains in frontier models are confirmed to be specifically RL-trained rather than emergent.
