If we don't create the Torment Nexus first, somebody else who is much less responsible is gonna create the Torment Nexus before us. It's outright irresponsible to not take the lead, we might have to even give up on all safety concerns to make sure we make it to Torment Nexus IPO first.
I've been working with self improvement harness a little bit and one thing i've come to conclusion is harness task fit. The learning can be significantly improved if we understand the behaviour of task and how it should be learned.
I'm pretty sure a general solution will definitely exist which will do fine, but we are yet to see one.
Agree with the sibling comment that an example would be useful. I'm also curious what kinds of tasks you have in mind. Theoretically almost every knowledge work task boils down to the file editing that agent harnesses already are built around (which probably explains the second half of your comment).
