There are things worth building that the world collectively needs but have been hard to fund, from clean air to quality public healthcare. Then there are things individuals are willing to pay disproportionately to get built for exclusive use, from gated gathering spaces to private air travel. It would be a massive self-goal not to use the affordances of LLMs to overcome the barriers to building what the world always needed, but it came with a high ticket cost, from privacy-first digital infrastructure to community-owned climate resilience systems. The real opportunity lies in leveraging LLMs not just to optimize individual convenience but to coordinate resources, knowledge, and funding toward public goods that have long been undervalued—whether that’s regenerative local economies, open-access education, or decentralized governance frameworks that empower communities rather than gatekeep them. That is one heck of a future worth rooting for!
