Assuming the box is pretty smart at understanding instructions (and has an understanding of my typical ontology to the extent that you would get after working with me a few weeks and reading various posts) and the box will ask follow-up questions in cases where the instructions are unclear. (And we can do small diffs with reduced latency like asking the results to be plotted in a different way.)
My main concern is running out of ideas after a while despite copies of myself with more thinking time having more time to generate ideas.
Sounds reasonable, though idk what you think realistic values of N are (my wild guess with hardly any thought is 15 minutes − 1 day).
EDIT: Tbc in the 1 day case I’m imagining that most of the time goes towards running the experiment—it’s more a claim about what experiments we want to run. If we just talk about the time to write the code and launch the experiment I’m thinking of N in the range of 5 minutes to 1 hour.
Probably yes for realistic values of N?
