    Meta Al data center caught infecting town water supply with deadly bacteria

    Frank Strong, engineering and water resource division manager at the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities, said the bacterium was first detected during routine wastewater testing.

    He added that it was an unusual pathogen to find in any wastewater, including discharge from a data center.

    In Cheyenne, Wyoming, officials are cutting off wastewater-dumping access for data centers connected to the city’s water system.

    Meta Al data center caught infecting town water supply with deadly bacteria According to Cowboy State Daily, the decision follows an investigation into Meta-affiliated Goat Systems LLC, whose discharge allegedly sent wastewater containing the rare and potentially deadly bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii into local pipes. The company was found in “significant noncompliance” with Cheyenne’s industrial waste rules.

                                  The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove. Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001.

                                  Then in early 2018, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract to build AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

                                  The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

                                  Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface.
