A post claims that Mechanize, the AI futures research org, has been acqui-hired by Google (unconfirmed, no official announcement yet).
The post also quotes Mechanize's blog describing its workflow: a typical task takes roughly a week from ideation to submission, usually one task at a time, with a second task in an earlier phase running in parallel while long-running agent transcripts complete — a glimpse into the real pacing of agent-driven research work.
