A viewer sent me an email, asking me to look over a schematic for an autofire circuit that he had a generative AI create for him.

This is the circuit he sent me.

It doesn’t make any sense.

I sent him a circuit that works from an old magazine I used before.

Don’t fricking trust AI with anything.

@janbeta

I'm not entirely sure what the circuit would actually do.

Possibly open a portal to the netherworld? 😂🤦‍♂️

@simonzerafa Maybe it is the flux capacitor we were looking for all these years!

(Also, not sure what the actual netherworld portal circuit would look like but I’m 100% certain that it does use a 555!)

@janbeta These days everybody uses an Arduino in their netherworld circuit. That's really inefficient if you could just use the 555 instead.

Also that schematic breaks my brain... I can't even.

@sebastian I‘m sure a 555 can be tuned to the correct frequency for opening the portal. The only thing I’m missing to complete the circuit is that 10nF diode.

@janbeta @sebastian don't knock the 555, I booted Linux on one recently.
