This is gibberish, you may as well tell me you've found a load-bearing seam.

Okay?

There's no reason the reinforcement learning that is getting them better at computer use can't be applied to other domains, like biology, chemistry etc. It's just expensive, because the environment often becomes the physical world, it requires creating labs like anthropic are doing here, and gathering a lot of data, it requires llms attempting their own experiments(that's what 'getting their hands dirty' means).

Getting the data and setup will be expensive, but not impossible, and labs are clearly gearing up to do just that. If you can't understand that then that seems like a you problem.
