The speaker thinks taste may be learnable from relatively short-horizon episodes, noting that humans develop taste through a relatively short succession of small experiences and that there is no obvious reason it must require very long episodes.

“like how meta learnable is taste from like shorter horizon episodes and like i feel like there's no obvious reason it's super long because like humans somehow develop taste with not having many long episodes like we don't live to be like 10 000 we have like you”

“know we we develop pretty quickly right and so like you know if you think about like even like in a phd the difference between like a first year phd student and like a final like postdoc or something that's like five years maybe and they've only done like maybe like 10 15 30 research projects in total but somehow they develop”

“develop taste quite quickly from like a relatively short succession of like small things and so like theoretically it's you know possible to develop it like that the ai obviously will have vastly more experience in which to develop taste like metal on it and there's like how well does that generalize to like really long horizon things is i think the question which i think is really unsolved at this point like we don't know”
