Hilarious moment at 36:00. Sutton has just finished talking about how in real life, functions that learning agents wish to estimate will often be non-stationary because life is constantly changing.<p>An audience member complains that this is unfair (i.e. unfair to the learning algorithm), and somebody nearby the cameraman retorts &quot;life is unfair&quot;.<p>This is a fact that even algorithms cannot avoid.
