Reinforcement learning on real robots in real time has been done lots of times, since back in the 90s at least. It’s painfully slow.

Why is it slow?

We know a human uses roughly 100 watts. And teaching a new specific task takes only showing maybe 10 times to get to 80%.

The learning function in humans are definitely connected with both training/recitation.

I'm seeing that as the big roadblock between thinking machines and a really big autocomplete we have now.
