Google plans secret AI military outpost on tiny island overrun by crabs

SMRTR summary

Google plans to build a secret AI military data center on Christmas Island, home to one of nature's most spectacular events where 100 million red crabs migrate annually from forest to ocean. The project faces environmental approval challenges as the island's famous crab migration has already begun, with major spawning expected around November 15-16. Local officials support the development if it benefits the community with jobs and infrastructure, but the facility's coexistence with the massive crustacean migration remains uncertain.
