The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone. (archive.is)

wut? A Residential Wireman doesn't even go into the space for Inside Wireman. Then there's the fact that the space where an Inside Wireman works is tiny compared to the rest of the data center.

What are you basing your opinion on?

edit: bunch of butthurt Residential Wiremen in this thread apparently

I would rather see you explain why electricians would never change their field of work.

Residential Wiremen are not qualified to be Inside Wiremen

edit: I'm done with this. It's obvious that the people arguing with me have no idea what construction work is like.

And residential Wiremen are unable to get the qualification to be inside Wiremen? Are there no inside Wiremen who worked at residential ones before? Are you serious?

The fact that they don't even know what the job title is, says to me their opinion isn't worth considering.

Oh, so Residential never switch, got it.

They need more training
