No, you don’t understand.

The $500 million is money the government has to pay to have a public good built.

Whereas the $50 billion is money invested corporations, which they got from their customers… and the government as incentives, tax breaks, and other magic that normal people can’t have. And it makes a private asset instead of a public good.

So obviously the $50 billion is less money.

How much energy do data centers and artificial intelligence use? /// Less than 2% of global electricity, but demand is very geographically concentrated. in c/technology@lemmy.world

So using a more distributed Internet (instead of sticking all out services in data centers) would help balance that.
