One human is building a game about fighting back.
Designing better silicon than you can imagine.

optimizes gate paths while you sleep
You define complex digital circuit layouts and optimize power targets for silicon wafers using heavy hardware description languages.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the timing constraints fail during a thermal stress test.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 6
AI models learn to map functional specs to standard cell blocks.
Month 5
Algorithms replace manual RTL coding for standard logic structures.
Month 12
Simulations run across the entire design space without human bias.
Month 18
Neural nets refine power consumption metrics beyond human capability.
Year 2 · D-Day
Hardware design fully offloads to self-optimizing silicon foundry software.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
