About whether AI models could learn from experience by continuously changing their weights.

Thank you ! I actually think real time weight update is theoretically possible while also avoiding messing up the network. Would be super useful if we figure out how to do that. That would enhance LLMs closer to real intelligence if we follow Sutton’s definition

An LLM updates its weights in real time as it learns, without damaging what the network already knows.

Has this happened?
