calibrates 50,000 beams while you blink
You align mirrors on vibration tables and calibrate diode power outputs. Your lab is a graveyard of unused laser diodes.
The one thing AI can't do
You possess the cursed ability to feel when the alignment is off by a micron.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Sensors map your optical bench layout to eliminate manual mirror tweaking.
Month 5
AI algorithms replace your manual Matlab scripts for beam profile analysis.
Month 10
Micro-pincers perform all lens cleaning rituals without leaving fingerprints.
Month 20
Digital controllers maintain perfect equilibrium, removing the need to wait.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The system runs your lab experiments autonomously while you find new work.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
