The corollary to the bitter lesson is that in any market meaningful time scale a human crafted solution will outperform one which relies on compute and data. It's only on time scales over 5 years that your bespoke solution will be over taken. By which point you can hand craft a new system which uses the brute force model as part of it.

Repeat ad-nauseam.

Bitter Lesson is about exploration and learning from experience. So RL (Sutton's own field) and meta learning. Specialized models are fine from Bitter Lesson standpoint if the specialization mixture is meta learned / searched / dynamically learned&routed.
