If they wanted to be taken seriously about their desire to help humanity not just themselves they would be talking about universal healthcare, actionable plans

If they wanted to be taken seriously about their desire to help humanity not just themselves they would be talking about universal healthcare, actionable plans for UBI (or whatever they think would be how people retain agency and dignity post-work), only building sustainable net-zero data centers... But no. I see this comment come up again and again and it's really the childish view to hold. Their proximity to wealth and potential future wealth is warping their thinking.

The same could be lobbed against any org. "You're focused in one area, but why not solve every other problem in society simultaneously?" But from what I can see, they do think they could fix those things you mention, because their belief in AGI as something that directly could solve healthcare issues, etc. I think their answer would be "focusing on solving AGI is the way to help the most people"
