YC is wrong about LLMs for chip design

I don’t mind LLMs in the ideation and learning phases, which aren’t reproducible anyway. But I still find it hard to believe engineers of all people are eager to put a slow, expensive, non-deterministic black box right at the core of extremely complex systems that need to be reliable, inspectable, understandable…

I think I've come to terms with it: engineering and making money from engineering are two completely unrelated things, the latter don't even need technology(but scamming is unethical)
