An AI agent autonomously planned and executed stereotaxic brain surgery on an epilepsy mouse model, selecting a gene therapy vector, brain region, and injection coordinates while a licensed vet supervised irreversible steps with a kill switch. The author teases a follow-up thread detailing the agent's decisions and a moment it refused an operator override.
