Go back a few hundred years and it was Christianity that terrorised the world. Do you think Africans wanted to be taken to America and christened? Do you think the Yucatan population wanted the Maya codices burnt? Christianity has been forced on millions of people in 3rd world countries. And don't get me started on witch hunts.

Put greenhouses all around and use the excess heat and warm water.

Or:
Viticulture -- wine grapes are extremely sensitive to microclimate.

A few degrees warmer could allow varieties that wouldn't normally thrive in that region.
This is actually already happening naturally in places like England and Belgium due to climate change generally.

Other heat-loving crops, lavender, certain stone fruits, Mediterranean herbs, even olives in marginal climates.

Extended growing seasons, even for normal crops, warmer nights mean longer frost-free periods.

The irony would be delicious -- AI data centers accidentally creating French-style wine regions in Northern Europe.
There's probably a business case somewhere for a vineyard deliberately sited next to a large data center, using the waste heat both for the microclimate and potentially for heating greenhouses directly.
