As sims top out, the bottleneck for robot RL shifts to real-world environments

- Quoting dflieb's take that real-world RL environments for robot models could become a much larger space than software RL envs.
- The author notes that with recent sim results topping RoboDojo, the bottleneck is shifting even faster to the real world: software RL envs can be spun up endlessly, but real tasks, real objects, and real failure modes that matter to customers can't be simulated away — the gap their team is building for.
