  • QUOTE: benign versus adversarial environments. In benign environments, the environment might be random. It might be stochastic, but it has no objective on its own that would contradict your own objective. For example, weather is benign. Contrast this with adversarial environments, such as many games, like chess, where your opponent is really out there to get you.
