An artificial intelligence firm that is backing a slew of data centers being built across the country signed on to lease over a million square feet at an industrial park next to Luke Air Force Base in Glendale.

A financing statement filed in Maricopa County on June 5 names the tenant as New York-based Fluidstack.

Brokers involved in the deal said they could not name the tenant due to a nondisclosure agreement. They were able to share that the user is not a data center operator, but an ancillary service and equipment provider for data center developers and operators.

According to Fluidstack’s website, the firm is partnering with Anthropic on its $50-billion data center buildout of multiple campuses across several states.

Lol absolutely toxic and right now being funded by throw away money by the top 10% to keep trumps stock market from tanking in exchange for the massive tax cuts.
At some point tho the spectre of "AI"s massive fraud will become apparent and the whole thing will tank leaving communities with massive liabilities. The ignorance, naivity and gullibility is off the charts.
