Upvoted for ambition. But some of the things you listed (e.g. cloning) are likely tech limitations rather than financial ones. It's not that money wouldn't be needed to develop the tech-- it absolutely is. But just anyone with a trillion to invest wouldn't automatically be able to develop it, or find the right people to develop it. Building infra for your city would be great (I wish Denver had an actual metro system and not just half-assed light rail for large swaths of the area). But you're going to have to deal with the legality of that beyond simply budgetary concerns-- liability, at least, and also things like eminent domain against people who may not want to sell. The OSS stuff already has people working on it and depends more on market share than technical know-how at this point. Depending on whether AI will actually prove monumental in long-term history, simply buying e.g. OpenAI and open-sourcing their stuff might be the most history-altering thing you could do with a trillion (or it could be a footnote, depending on how things play out).
