> Huang contends that the AI boom will create a vast number of skilled, well-paid blue-collar jobs—such as electricians, plumbers, and steelworkers—rather than simply eliminating white-collar roles.
It appears that inside Huang's reality bubble lives a fantasy where we will build AI data centers in perpetuity. While in reality, the workers will be busy for the duration of the construction projects then furloughed. It's all temporary short term growth thinking where the only thing that matters is Nvidia's growth and by extension, Huang's ego.

You have no idea how many otherwise well meaning financial/professional advice 'influencers' are touting exactly the same thing.
Want a job that AI won't take? Learn a trade! Like, they all think the immaculate future is humans doing difficult painful sweaty jobs.
And what's worse is just because the shit isn't automated yet doesn't mean it won't be in the next five years. We already have the tech to perform surgery remotely, and the exoskeltons and robots are only getting more fidelity in smaller frames.
