sokrypton questions brute-force AI science: agents and compute can merge papers, but then what?
sokrypton · x · 2026-09-13
Responding to @QuanquanGu, sokrypton argues that while enough AI agents, compute, and robotics can brute-force well-defined problems or stitch many researchers' work into a mega pipeline, the deeper question remains: what comes after? He points to an interview with Terence Tao on the limits of this approach.
