runs formal verification across every permutation
You write SystemVerilog testbenches to find bugs in chip architecture before tape-out. You spend days chasing non-deterministic simulation failures.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit why a race condition appears only on the Tuesday build.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
AI models write your UVM testbenches faster than you can blink.
Month 3
Machine agents filter out your false failures before you wake up.
Month 6
Mathematical engines prove the design correct without running a single simulation.
Month 10
Silicon is generated directly from high-level spec without human RTL.
Month 14 · D-Day
The logic core no longer requires your fallible human oversight.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
