> talk Microsoft Teams instead. I suspect that’s worse than AI training… If we assume that 25% of daily compute of 200 million people is spent on Electron and similar bloated software, and they're all using 50W computers (splitting the difference between laptops and desktops), that's about 7TWh per year: the annual electricity usage of Mongolia, or roughly 1% of Japan. Which is actually less than I had thought, but it also doesn't include the server-side resources.
