Meta AI data centre leaked deadly bacteria into city's wastewater
As if data centres didn't suck enough already, a Meta-affiliated data centre in Wyoming was caught releasing bacteria into local water.
Essentially, a Meta-affiliated data centre company, Goat Systems LLC, flooded local wastewater pipes in Wyoming with fill-and-flush waste (a process in which data centres flood their cooling systems before powering up for the first time) containing a rare (and deadly) bacterium, Cupriavidus gilardii.
