What made you willing to make a bet? It

seemed relatively low cost in that we, Michal in particular, had spent the past year developing infrastructure that made it a lot easier to run some of these experiments.

And the precedent was deeper networks should do a whole lot better.
3:12
That's what the deep learning revolution has been over the last decade.
3:15
Yeah, I know.
3:15
Why do we stop making them deeper? And reinforcement learning was like this one anomaly where we continue to use these really shallow networks.
3:22
And that's particularly true in the settings that we were looking at where you're starting from scratch.

What additional work does this inspire that you want to push on next?
2:55
What, what made you willing to make a bet? Like-
2:57
It seemed relatively low cost, uh, in that we, Michal in particular had spent the past year developing infrastructure that made it a lot easier to run some of these experiments.
3:07
And the precedent was deeper networks could do a whole lot better.
3:11
Like that's what the deep learning res- revolution has been over the last decade.

And-
8:00
We can just go.
8:01
Yeah, we take big networks from...
8:02
Add them to PPO, add them to SAC, add them to your favorite reinforcement learning algorithm.
