Any tips for working on RL? I'm currently a bachelors working as ML engineer doing stuff related to computer vision and generative models in a consulting company, but would love to work on stuff related to RL or even games.

Would you guys recommend just going for a PhD and try to get a job in some place like Meta AI labs? I don't know how easy it could be to pivot from computer vision to RL without an advanced degree.

There's quite a few open-source Reinforcement Learning challenges that you can explore with modest amounts of compute in order to build some experience training RL models, for example the Nethack Learning Environment, Atari, Minigrid, etc. For me personally, I had only worked in NLP / dialogue for years but got into RL by implementing Random Network Distillation models for NetHack. It's a fun area that definitely has its own unique challenges vs other domains. -AM
