Hey @susanholtnb.bsky.social we do NOT need this.
NB Power is already out of hand and investing in a gas plant, just to power a data center is ridiculous.
I know you want more businesses here but we already have resource hungry ones (ahem, Irving), we don't need even more destructive ones.

WTF NB Power - why are you allowing a US company to do this? 🤬
A proposed data centre in the Lorneville area of #SaintJohnNB would gobble up the equivalent of almost half the electricity N.B. Power will get from a controversial natural gas plant in the Tantramar area.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas.
