Preventing collapse -&amp;gt; model gets &amp;quot;full&amp;quot; https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.00796 2. Forgetting causes better generalization https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.01163 3. Unknow paper that connects this - allow a &amp;quot;forgetting&amp;quot; model that improves generalization over time. - I tried for a long time to make this but it&amp;#x27;s a bit difficult Fun implication is that if true this implies AGI will need &amp;quot;breaks&amp;quot; and likely need to consume non task content of high variety much like a person does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2307.01163/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
