Meta's Gas-Guzzling $13 Billion Data Centre Coming to Alberta
Danielle Smith announces a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta, set to be the largest in Canada.
In contrast to Carney’s federal A.I. strategy, which promised clean, sovereign, and ethical A.I., Smith refers to the Meta project as a “digital refinery,” fuelled by a natural gas plant that will be built to power it.
Instead of digital sovereignty, is Canada going to end up being a branch-plant, resource economy at the service of Big Tech?
Plus, the best Canadian films you probably haven’t seen, and Big Tech’s new hiring target: philosophers.
