        GPT-Synopsys brings together OpenAI frontier models with Synopsys' EDA technology and domain expertise, enabling the specialized model [to] directly operate Synopsys' tools. Engineers will delegate design objectives … with agents running tools, interpreting results, implementing changes, and iterating toward verified outcomes for engineer review.
    
    
    “Agents will do all the engineering work. Engineers will delegate and review.” Lol, no, what the engineers are gonna do is get laid off.

      My observation is even if AI takes 80-90% of my job, the remaining 10% is still going to be more relevant to keeping the company going than other people's 100%.

      I wish this was hubris, but no. I would genuninely be happy to not have to do other people's work for them on top of mine.

        Unfortunately, somebody three levels up from you will decide that 90% is good enough and fire you. The fact that the company then crashes and burns doesn't help, because you'll already be out of a job.
