#Microsoft to "invest" $3.2bn in #AI in #Sweden, "drawing on the country's green energy"
When you read that "AI consumes as much energy as a small country", that country is now Sweden.
And this basically means the country's *public* power infrastructure is being sold out to private interests.
Shit like this makes me livid.
