Gorillaz wasn't really fake though. It was an animated front for an actual human band. The human band even played their live shows. It was pretty inventive, and it certainly gave a lot of work to not only the musicians involved but the many animators, planners, marketers, and others who pulled the whole thing together. It wound up being much more complex than a traditional guitarx2 + bass + drums quartet.
Datacentre expansion has been ongoing for years. Aluminum welding has been in hot demand since aluminum became the preferred material in many vehicles and engine block designs. And that's just two areas. Underwater welding pays quite well I'm told (and is pretty dangerous). There's going to need to be an expansion in the installation and maintenance of power generation facilities which may favor steamfitters and/or electricians.
Who knows? You act as if it's a given that will happen anytime soon. Smart tradesmen will look to the market and use their leverage from years of lucrative work to expand their skillset as the market evolves.
Demand for aluminum welders has been hot for awhile and will probably stay that way. Same for underwater welders.
Casinos and other gambling outfits go out of business all the time. Just ask Trump!
Not absolutely true. There's going to be a lot of work for electricians (especially ones trained to handle large network installations) due to the boom in datacentre expansion. Aluminum welding is a specialized skill in hot demand. There are others.

There is no right to your image.
Government can TRY to make those rights, but the freedom of expression is superior to the idea that you can stop me from hand drawing your image when you're at the beach.
One wonders if it identifies as ChatGPT.
One use case for a VPN is allowing incoming connections to a home PC that is behind an ISP's firewall and/or NAT. Such a PC might be running a game server or a low-traffic web server. Another is connecting to the IPv6 Internet from an IPv4-only home ISP such as Frontier.
What about CowboiKneelGPT?
If US Federal spending is any indicator, not much, especially since the spending would be a one-time-only thing rather than a yearly thing.
Now it would be a good idea for Zuck to consider investing in power generation for datacentres instead of the datacentres themselves. And he'd likely make a tidy profit off such a venture.
What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. -- Bertrand Russell, "Skeptical Essays", 1928
