The AI boom keeps hitting a wall nobody talks enough about — tradespeople shortage. Think about it: plumbers, electricians, construction crews — these aren't getting automated away anytime soon. Yet the entire race to build out AI infrastructure hinges on having enough hands on the ground. No skilled workforce means projects stall. Timelines slip. The shortage of basic construction talent is quietly becoming the real constraint, not compute capacity. Sometimes the bottleneck isn't technology. It's people.

This is the real bottleneck. Everyone is only focused on hash rate scores and no one is paying attention to the underground masters.

Ha, finally someone said it. I was wondering why there are still shortages of workers on the construction site.

Huh? So the real bottleneck for AI infrastructure now is finding electricians and plumbers? I really can't believe this logic.

Really, now everyone is hyping up computing power and chips, no one is paying attention to the worker shortage issue, it's hilarious.
