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? -- Keith F.
