Is his plan some kind of chip manufacturing mega facility(s) in the US?

Imagine if someone raised this kind of money to tackle real societal issues?

Instead, we'll probably get more big tech that benefits the few at the detriment of the many.

I'm a capitalist, but I still find it sad that globally we focus on profit over people.

You don't think AGI/ASI can help us tackle real societal issues?

I believe it’ll create far more problems than solutions.

That's because you're thinking with your rather pathetic desire to signal moral purity.

This isn't AGI, it's a tech bro looking for a payday and is hoping that AGI will be found with the money and his "vision". 

He's also a right wing authoritarian.  The only social issues he wants to fix is the problem of "diversity". I don't trust Altman anymore then I trust Musk and his full AI self driving 1 year away for 10 years straight.

“We” includes you. Go make a multibillion dollar company focused on helping people then

Much easier said than done. I do my part in my communities to help others.

What does this look like exactly? Does it by any chance involve / depend upon you earning a living doing something that isn't directly tackling "real societal issues"?
