Seeing a version of this from India. Every decent ML engineer is getting vacuumed into foundation model work or infra roles at hyperscalers. Teams building the actual application layer are struggling to hire.
The stat about OpenAI needing 20% of the existing skilled trades workforce for their data centers is nuts. That's not a scaling challenge, that's a resource extraction problem.
Anyone else noticing this hitting developer tooling and devrel budgets too? Everything that isn't "AI infra" is getting squeezed hard.
