"You’ll see that fast.ai’s way of teaching is very different to what you might be used to, if you did a technical degree at university. Nearly all technical subjects at university are taught “bottom up”: start with basic foundations, and gradually work up to complete useful solutions to real world problems. But we go “top down”: start with complete useful solutions to real world problems, and gradually work down to the basic foundations. Education experts recommend this approach for more effective learning."

I don't think this discusses reinforcement learning (not sure about the comment you responded to). To my recollection, the first course goes through basic architectures and concepts, and the second discusses autoenvoders.
Yeah, the Fast.ai course does not discuss RL. The first part focuses on DL and the second part focuses on Diffusion based models
