optimises thermal efficiency to absolute zero
You spend years simulating transistor layouts and debugging signal integrity. Your coffee is cold by design.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still argue about thermal throttling constraints with a human manager until 3am.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI models start writing your boilerplate hardware description language files.
Month 5
Software agents replace your manual testbench development and coverage analysis.
Month 12
Neural nets take over floorplanning and signal routing without human input.
Month 16
Automated formal verification proofs identify logic flaws before you even start.
