> Im expecting to see a lot of hyper growth startups using RL to solve a realworld problem in engineering / logistics / medicine
I love when people on hn make market predictions based on how revolutionary they think something is. I guess startup people thank they're also VC people.
FYI Sutton's book came out in 1999; none of this is revolutionary anymore and yet I don't see any "hyper growth". The reason is exactly because while you can train these models to play super Mario, you cannot use them to solve real world problems.
