    they will tell total tho https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/microsoft-reveals-the-energy-impact-of-artificial-intelligence

    this works out to 2.7GW in 2023, on average. that’s comparable to peak daily consumption in croatia (today), if that 30%-ish figure is accurate then something closer to 700MW is ai-only, that’s smaller country like macedonia

    which only highlights how bizarre is their 5GW proposition. hey let’s outbuild ms 2x, like, now

      that sounds like it’s much less than crypto at its peak, and even 2023 estimate differs by over an order of magnitude (14.5GW avg). there’s also google and fb and whoever else (aws?)
