For me, the biggest open question is currently "How autonomous is 'autonomous'?" because the commits make it clear there were multiple actors involved in contributing to the repository, and the timing/merges make it seem like a human might have been involved with choosing what to merge (but hard to know 100%) and also making smaller commits of their own. I'm really curious to understand what exactly "It ran uninterrupted for one week" means, which was one of Cursor's claims.

I've reached out to the engineer who seemed to have run the experiment, who hopefully can shed some more light on it and (hopefully) my update to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46646777 will include the replies and more investigations.
