Agent searches may scale to 10,000 conjecture disproofs, but verification stays the bottleneck

A reply thread argues that searching for 10,000 candidate disproofs in a weekend may soon be easy with agentic systems, but verifying them rigorously remains the bottleneck.
The key claim is that verification does not parallelize as cleanly as brute-force search, so even if major labs dump open conjectures into thousands of agent runs, the hard part is still the proof-checking stage.
