burnytech observes a practical shift: as long as a research idea is concretely specified, hillclimbable, not open-ended, and not too complex, you can simply hand it to AI agents and they can mostly execute it. The takeaway: the bottleneck has moved from execution ability to the skill of pinning down the idea itself.
