A massive data centre to provide computing power for the artificial intelligence giant Anthropic is under pre-construction just outside Port Hawkesbury in Cape Breton.

EverWind Fuels will build and own the facility, while Anthropic will lease the first phase for a term of at least 20 years. Anthropic said in a news release the data centre "will power Claude models and serve growing demand from Canadian and global customers."

    And Lois Landry the local warden, and Amanda momborquette (leadership contender for ns liberal party) and everwind and lets not forget Anthropic and anyone else that supports this shit in my back yard or anywhere else for that matter. Fuck them all.

    Another case of put it where the poors live.

    Edit: let's not forget...fuck all the old people here that are gonna want this shit and say "but the jobs it will create" without knowing shit about it.

    A local data centre with an American client won't give us any of that "sovereignty" data centre proponents have been talking about.
