Agency
RL ↔ human agency; attention-hijacking tech
I come into this area with a Reinforcement Learning thinking. I think most agents are similar due to The Internet, to and such human programming tools. It means that most of these agents share the same rewards,I.e. goals but we all have a wide range of inputs, probably different observations depending on the skepticism and such of the agent, which filter the input into useful information, I.e. Signals. We all have the same actions?
