For later: people are gravitating to a dead-reckoning model of intelligence by treating length of autonomous runs as a kpi. I think this is ill-posed. Perfectly playable domains allow dead-reckoning to substitute for situated orienting and maneuvering because simulation is 100% fidelity and tractable. Where that’s not true it’s the wrong mental model.
