  • Fusion power or cures for diseases.

    Fusion power, should it work, would solve a lot of problems. Environmentally, in particular, but if we could get a decent distribution of reactors around the planet we’d alleviate food problems, water problems, and a whole bunch of suffering of one kind or another. Cheap power would help a lot.

    Otherwise, anything to help cure diseases. Genetic, auto-immune, cancers, misfortune, whatever. Alleviate more suffering, let people live and work again.

  • Reverse osmosis and water filtration technology solutions

    UPDATE: Also, why not focus on stopping money going towards cryptocurrency instead of AI. Sure, AI is not the greatest for some, but cryto is a scam every day of the week

  • Finding new and unique ways to make parabolic mirrors more efficiently and inexpensively

    Imagine being into generative AI when the moon is literally red as I type this. You could be looking at the Orion Nebula right now instead of staring at a screen playing charades with a soulless marionette dancing under the hands of billionaires who you're giving a direct line straight into your brain, bypassing all critical thought

  • Software that is both ridiculously easy to use and able to bypass any and all DRM schemes past, present, and future. As a firm believer that any form of computer (not including game consoles because I don't care about them) software that severely limits when, where, and how you can use your legally purchased games, movies, e-books, etcetera, should be outright illegal, this is my answer.

  • Cryptocurrency.

    Kidding! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm sure that will ruffle someone's feathers for a fraction of a second.

    Does vegan based meat/milk alternatives count as a technology sector? The moment we figure out a way to actually seriously imitate high quality steaks and 2% cow milk with it being indistinguishable and half the price I think that will hurt factory farming which is a bit of a domino effect that would lead to less co2 and methane produced, less agricultural effort wasted on feeding animals, that kind of thing.

  • AI to run companies in sustainably profitable ways that benefits their workers instead of rich greedy sociopaths.

  • Probably thinking too small, but if I were rich, I'd give a bunch of money to OpenStreetMap.
