Can you imagine a hypothetical AI company that did care about humanity, and if so, how would it look different from Anthropic?

I thought I remembered reading someplace respectable that the apparent curvature of the earth as seen from the surface or planes is actually just perspective, and would look indiscernible on a flat planet (or a huge one). But I don’t have a
