Tim reads a Wall Street Journal op-ed about Meta and Mike Rowe's program training tradesmen to build AI data centers, arguing workers are building the infrastructure that will replace them, and digresses into how Democrat super PACs are funding YouTube creators to build captive political audiences.
- Meta is paying people to train for data center construction jobs, partnering with Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
- Tim's friend works at a YouTube startup where Democrat super PACs are funding long-form content for young creators.
- Political action committees fund creator channels to build captive audiences they can later program with messaging.
- This model differs from transparent ads—the channel itself exists solely to create an audience for political purposes.
- Meta is paying people to learn skilled trades to build data centers, then their jobs end once construction finishes.
- Tim notes this job training could have fixed American infrastructure instead—roads, bridges, public spaces—but only exists for Meta's data centers.
- Workers are being trained and paid to build the AI infrastructure that will eventually replace them and others in their community.
- J.D. Vance has said joblessness from AI isn't the real concern—only vast inequality and potential surveillance.
