> If they actually reach AGI they will be rich enough. Maybe they can solve world happiness or hunger instead?
That's what normal people might consider doing if they had a lot of money. The kind of people who actually seem to get really wealthy often have... other pursuits that are often not great for society.
You mean like building rockets that commoditise space so that they can pollute even more, making things worth on Earth while relocating us to another planet is absolutely preposterous and will never be a thing?
Maybe offloading software engineering thinking to AI will be a net good for humanity. If it atrophies engineering thinking in tech bros, perhaps they’ll stop believing that all societal problems can be solved by more tech.
I think in this case you're actually advocating for "the devil" - that man is not using his money or voice for a better society, to put it mildly.
I mean just a few days ago, we got "the left is the party of murder" - super helpful in terms of turning down the heat in the US. And of course that was without knowing what we now know about that situation...
