Google DeepMind researchers propose a new AI approach called "streams," enabling models to learn continuously from their environment instead of relying solely on static human-generated data.

Why it matters: This method could unlock AI capabilities that surpass current models limited by human prompt constraints and static datasets.

The big picture: Streams allow AI agents to develop long-term goals and experience-driven learning, moving toward artificial general intelligence and super-intelligence.

The stakes: Autonomous, experience-driven AI raises risks including reduced human oversight, job displacement, and challenges in controlling AI behavior over extended periods.

Commenters say: Many see potential in experiential learning for AI's future but remain skeptical about practical success and caution about current agent limitations like error loops.
