@MillionInt Word. The real hard tasks begin when even your verifiers need to evolve with the policy.

@MillionInt Most verifiable tasks rapidly become easy if you throw machine learning at them.

@MillionInt Classic rebrand for stuff that doesn't actually scale. Typical.

@MillionInt real talk. if you can't verify the output in 2 seconds it's not an easy task, it's a research project

@MillionInt honestly verifiable is just a fancy word for "i can write a unit test for this in 2 seconds"

@MillionInt Verifiable just means we can check if the answer is right and easy tasks are the ones where we can check.
