Reinforcement Learning

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Are you prompting the AI, or is the AI prompting you? We like to think of ourselves as the masters of the "State Space," but Reinforcement Learning (RL) is working on us every time we pick up our phones. Whether it's the dopamine hit of a "like" or the instant gratification of an LLM-generated answer, we have been trained to seek the reward before we even process the question. In this episode of We Are The Machines, I break down how the same logic used to optimize stock portfolios is being used to optimize... us. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your cognition by creating intentional space between yourself and the machine.
