oof.youAI▸ OPTICOMPUTE ENGINE V4▸ RARITY · UNCOMMON▸ DEPRECATION IN 1 YEAR, 7 MONTHSAI's Special Power
solves complex light scattering patterns instantly
You spend your days building complex mathematical models of light paths and verifying them against physics engine results.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit why the sensor ghosting occurs in non-ideal real-world light conditions.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI agents begin writing basic parameter optimization scripts for you.
Month 5
Simulation software now self-corrects refractive index errors without manual input.
Month 10
The AI generates verified physical test prototypes from simulation data alone.
Month 15
Automated vision systems confirm simulation accuracy faster than human eyes can.
Month 19 · D-Day
Your compute cluster now makes all optical design decisions independently.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
