(7) This is not just theory. I have worked on cutting edge Data Center infra at Meta for 5 years and have seen these things first hand.

Technology should work for humanity, not marginalize.

You can read my manifesto for how to build conscious infra here -- www.saranyan.com/manifestos/c...

(6) We need Community-centered design
Infrastructure development should begin with #community needs, ensuring that the physical footprint of #AI enhances rather than extracts from the regions where it operates

(5) We need AI-optimized infrastructure
Using the very technology we're building to make its foundation more efficient - #AI managing power distribution, predicting maintenance needs, and optimizing resource allocation

(4) We need Infrastructure that gives back
Data centers that don't just consume community resources but contribute to them - providing heat for nearby buildings, stabilizing local grids, and creating sustainable jobs

(3) The path forward requires more than just building bigger data centers or securing more power. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how infrastructure, communities, and technology intersect.

(2) Companies making location decisions based not on talent pools but on megawatt availability.
Amidst all this -- there's a huge unseen cost to the communities caught in the cross-hairs of AI ambition and economy.
