RL-AS-A-SERVICE WILL OUTCOMPETE AGI COMPANIES (AND THAT'S GOOD)

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

RLaaS (Reinforcement Learning-as-a-Service) has proven performance, lower costs, is more excludable, and is safer. AI companies pivoting away from pursuing AGI towards RLaaS is good news because it promises a switch to a safer mode of AI development. While RLaaS is not without risks, the transition to an RLaaS model would reduce AI risk. The concatenation of specialized models may create or assist general intelligences.
