Meta’s data center just invented a new way to go viral, literally.
Why is Meta still building data centers? They are basically turning into a cloud computing company like AWS, except Amazon has more infrastructure already in place for this so why bother?
Start expecting the gradual rotation out of AI would be my guess. Look at how many companies are going to cheap open source models. Not to mention the price of oil going up will look to be much more attractive.
You can have the water for growing food, but only after meta is done contaminating it. You’re welcome, peasants!
Fortunately it only infected the Metaverse, and there ain’t *nobody* in there.
Cupriavidus gilardii not cyclosporidia that’s the other thing
These data centers are only exploiting the resources, the land and everything they are no good
So all these billionaires own their own islands, right? If they want these data centers so badly.. why not just build them in on their own back yard?
Wish we could just turn off all of these data centers
I’m not defending meta or advocating for datacenters, but I do think it’s disingenuous to point to this as some unique to datacenters issue. The general public sees this kind of headline and believes it’s some “cooling loop going through microchips polluting the water” type issue when it’s really just “Large scale construction project is doing massive earth moving releasing prevalent soil bacteria into local waterway”.
It wouldn’t matter if they were building a datacenter here or a shopping mile, it’s moving dirt that’s causing the water quality issues. It has nothing to do with the datacenter use of the site.
Like what the flock???
So not only is meta spread far-right conspiracy on fb, its also spreading this shit
From the article:
This type of bacteria can infect people when they breath aerosols, or small droplets of water, carrying the germ, Gandhi said. A public utilities official told the Tribune Eagle that this was exactly what they were concerned about, since they sprayed the water on Cheyenne’s green spaces.
It’s not clear to me that permanently preventing the datacenter from discharging its waste water into the municipal system where presumably it can be reused to some degree is a positive outcome.
Time to put down some bamboo.
Oh, wow. So surprising. Really mind blown. Who could’ve possibly known?
*checks box* yup
The data center moral panic is quickly crossing into self parody.
Will data centers become the modern world’s ice nine?
What a twist, so this is how we will get zombies.
Either the government of Alberta is covering their eyes and plugging their ears on this news…
OR, which is far more likely…
They’re all over it regardless.
This reminds me of the 11th Angel from Evangelion, where the microscopic organisms attempt to hack NERV’s supercomputers and trigger the self-destruct mechanism.
There are billions of bacteria and viruses in every drop of water, most of them unknown and unstudied.
Water treatment that protects against very common, dangerous bacteria works against the less common bacteria, too.
Before treatment, even the best surface water can be dangerous.
First all this title is very misleading, this bacterium is found commonly in soil and water- pretty much everywhere, AND it wasn’t found in the drinking water proper in this instance. Also the notion that this is a deadly strain is further misleading, as you have to be severely immunosuppressed and with that said pretty much everything that is ubiquitous is capable of of being deadly.
