Why don't machine learning research agents overfit?

New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization. Machine learning, at its core, is about generalization, not memorization. You hand your learning algorithm a pile of training examples and use them to fit a model. But the goal is not to perform well on the training examples — that's easy, you could just memorize ...
