thanks anon. i met that dude at a business thingy. he's extremely based. right now im building my own chips for robotics (non-ai stuff) basically just shrinking down some simple pcbs into a chip that allows signal control of a high number of motors to drastically cut costs of stuff. it's basically a motor multiplexer. im really just trying to build a process that i can expand into more complicated designs. so far it's been working well.    basically yeah. hdl (verilog and other langs) get converted into a stream of data that structures the internals of the fpga the way you programmed it.  you can even send verified working hdl to a chip fab and they will make your chip for you. there's even almost free services like the open pdks from skywater, efabless and google where you can get your chip placed on a wafer with a bunch of other people and they will basically make your chip for practically free.
