Yes, I read that.  And I read that they want taxpayers to pay for it,
which I am of course totally against.  Microsoft should pay its own
way.  If it can't afford to do so, it should go bankrupt.

Is anyone reseaching how to make computers more energy-efficient?
I recall Feynman writing on that topic.

I know that computers are a long way from their theoretical maximum
possible efficiency.

Am I the only one here who is annoyed by the use of "AI" to mean
anything other than human-level (or better) machine intelligence?
