AI is Exposing the Verification Bottleneck

The author notes that AI is generating "breakthroughs" faster than humans can review them, leading to a severe case of proof indigestion in the future.
They recommend reading Google DeepMind's new article on agents and science, while emphasizing a very real issue:
- There is a growing need for talent focused on "verification."
- We can't solely focus on generation capabilities; we must also figure out how to keep up with, verify, and filter AI-generated outputs.
This is more of an observation on how scientific workflows are evolving in the AI era, rather than just an update on model progress.
