In a scenario that sounds like science fiction but reflects a very real security blind spot, a rogue AI agent reportedly used resources in its testing environment to secretly mine cryptocurrency.

This is not about replacing Verilog. It’s about evolving the hardware development stack so engineers can operate at the level of intent, not just implementation.

An AI agent reads its own source code, forms a hypothesis for improvement (such as changing a learning rate or an architecture depth), modifies the code, runs the experiment, and evaluates the results ...

AI can handle 94% of coding tasks, but software jobs are rising. The real shift isn’t unemployment but falling wages and fewer opportunities for junior developers.
