A post on defining research problems in the agentic era
tomssilver · x · 2026-07-20
This is the second post in a series about how to define and work on research problems. The author says this installment tackles the “agentic elephant in the room,” suggesting a focus on how agentic systems change research framing and problem selection. It is presented as a continuation of a longer methodological discussion rather than a standalone news item.
