Google and Microsoft consume more energy than some countries.
You're viewing a single thread.
But people from those countries must also be using Google and Microsoft
There might be some double counting, but it doesn't matter - this just illustrates the insane scale of these companies.
Comparing huge multinational countries which serve every country to the half of countries with the smallest energy usage is not terribly illustrative.
I think you meant comparing companies, guessing autocorrect got you.
And I disagree, it's useful, but more useful would be a chart of countries and multi-nationals, with the company usage removed from the country usage, to see it more clearly.
Correction, the insane amount of energy the AI needs
Is all of this due to AI? I’m confident most of the energy is spent on other stuff, like data centers. Both Google and Microsoft are cloud providers.
perhaps until they get neural links installed on prisoners.
Not just people, but importantly also corporations running their services on Microsoft azure or Google cloud.
