I’m just very skeptical that the kinds of neural nets we’re training right now can learn to do anything remotely like that— I think it’s much more likely that people will hard code this type of reasoning into the compute graph with stuff like MCTS. This has already been pretty useful for e.g. MuZero. Once we’re hard coding search it’s less scary because it’s more interpretable and we can see exactly where the mesaobjective is.
I hope that you’re right; that would make Retargeting The Search very easy, and basically eliminates the inner alignment problem. Assuming, of course, that we can somehow confidently rule out the rest of the net doing any search in more subtle ways.
