calibrates mirrors faster than light
You write grant requests, design optical systems, and fiddle with hardware in remote, poorly lit field locations.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when a mirror is misaligned just by the sound of the beam.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 2
An AI agent writes your next three funding proposals automatically.
Month 7
Simulation software replaces your physical bench design prototyping entirely.
Month 16
Autonomous sensor pods handle field collects without needing your travel.
Year 2.3
Precision robotic grippers handle old hardware teardown and part salvage.
Year 3.1 · D-Day
The logic engine assumes full control of all light experiments.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
