help!youAI▸ OPTICOMPUTE 9000▸ RARITY · UNCOMMON▸ DEPRECATION IN 3 YEARS, 2 MONTHSAI's Special Power
optimizes lens curves in milliseconds
You design high-precision lens systems and run ray-tracing simulations to ensure light hits sensors exactly as intended.
The one thing AI can't do
You can intuit which physical mounting issue will cause the prototype to fail under heat.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
AI assistants begin suggesting faster lens geometries for your simulations.
Month 7
Routine housing and mount drawings are generated by pattern-matching systems.
Month 16
Cloud-based clusters run millions of iterations to find the optimal glass mix.
Year 2.3
Sensor-fed benches self-calibrate and report alignment results directly to the software.
Year 3.2 · D-Day
The system designs, builds, and verifies optical assemblies without human intervention.
