sure but it doesn't hurt that you have infinite data too (i.e. the thing most other ML research is bound by). like you can't argue that it's not a very comfortable corner to be in wrt being able to publish.

I'm complaining that publishing endless papers on your methods that are trained on endless amounts of synthetic data is more about paper churn than contributing something novel. like the person below says: no real control system uses an RL controller (e.g. boston dynamics uses only classical controls).
Oh I see. I would have guessed that that was because this way relatively new. If it really doesn't translate to anything real then I definitely get your point.
