Is this a good time to fake being an electrician?
I mean, union pay, and my crappy work will take Forever and burn the place down?

My family and friends have always found my electrical work shocking.
Honestly, get your friends to sign up for apprenticeships/traineeships and look for the electrical/construction companies working on data centres and let loose. Drop nails all over site, do as much damage as you can.
Take sneaky photos of layouts and schematics. We'll need them in the future.
Like Herod they are looking for that one special baby.
Jesus was an electrician?
No, but he was a carpenter. 🤨
Not then of course but now He might be, it is an occupation almost as clean as carpentry. My point is AI companies are not motivated by working for the good of mankind, they are probably looking for something in this, possibly distraction.
Turns out building data centers is a lot harder and involved than just sending out a tweet that funding is secured.
Electrified Guillotines.
when the bubble pops, at least they'll have needed skills.
hey, maybe this is the equivalent of the 'well, they'll be able to use all that fiber eventually' thing that happened in the 00s
