yes one would hope so. but what a weird straw to battle against. joey makes up a strawperson who thinks that “without datacenters we’re stagnating”?

but is that what anyone thinks?
don’t a number of people think “it’s a bubble” meaning we’re overinvesting….so they WANT to have AI $$ elsewhere?

Right, but as Matt mentioned, that article is making a serious error (i.e it’s lying-with-statistics) by where it decides to start/index, so the graph is not at all informative unless you give the context of the craziness during Covid & wages, and employment levels, etc

Yep!

This article is making an analytic error by indexing to 2021.

During COVID a huge amount of people lost their jobs. This drove "average wages" up, but only because so many people were unemployed.
