     @Jewpacabra they don't care. being at the point we are right now and saying stuff like that means they don't care.
     
     To them everything that isn't AI is "solved" and all human actions are totally fungible.

     @sickburnbro the scab labor coming over from india, mexico, wherever aren't qualified electricians
     they didn't have a 5-year apprenticeship
     they just lie
     also, once we've carpeted every flat piece of ground with data centers, what are those half million electricians going to do?
     i have an idea techbros, make your software better

     @RaHoWaJoe @JoshuaSlocum well, I'm sure there are some ancillory jobs created, like you need smart HVAC guys to come in and service the air handing, etc.
     
     but it's not 500,000 jobs.
     
     But ALSO they don't actually even care about the 500,000 long term. They're just like "I need 500,000 people tomorrow, I want them here STAT, and if I don't need them friday, I don't care"

     @JoshuaSlocum @sickburnbro That's actually a discussion I had a month ago.
     Once a data centers is up, they only have about 10 people working at them. Don't ever let people believe data centers are creating jobs.

     @James_Dixon the whole thing is just them either saying "I want my AI now, and anything that is in the way has to be solved immediately, and I don't care how" or "I want to destroy america with H1Bs"
     
     neither is that great.
     
     But the idea that they care about, know, or have even the slightest desire to know how these things work is wrong.
     
     They don't

     @sickburnbro > Apprenticeships take five years.
     
     An apprentice electrician can do everything a journeyman electrician can, he just needs to be supervised and perhaps have his work checked.
