Let's run through YC's list: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs
Most of these are bloody expensive - carbon removal, cell therapy, medical devices, longevity, transportation and housing, education, etc, etc.
Government 2.0 is just well, really difficult.
Which of these are cheap? AI? Biohacking? Supporting creators?
The last one is fairly doable, but there's probably people tackling it, including the people who host the sites these creators are on. It's also arguably the least important one on there.
AI and biohacking have a huge skill barrier. But both of these are very well funded because of that moat. Most of us can do some AI wrapper, but the high funding means that it moves fast enough that most of these wrappers are being replaced by official OpenAI stuff.
So you're left with the problems that are too difficult and expensive to tackle. Some people, like Gates and Musk try to take them, but there's only so many such individuals. There's a lot to say about billionaires funding these projects, but I'll leave that to someone else.
