   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?
