Highly relevant Simpsons clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no_elVGGgW8

While being an insightful satire of mass training LLMs with (negative) reinforcement learning, it's actually from the 1993 episode "Last Exit to Springfield", thought by many (including me) to be the single greatest Simpsons episode of all time (https://www.reddit.com/r/Simpsons/comments/1f813ki/last_exit...).

Does this really work? Seems likely to be more hype.

Codex makes all kind of terrible blunders that it presents as "correct". What's to stop it from just doing that in the loop? The LLM is still driving, same as when a human is in the loop.
