Taking off my devil's advocate hat (horns?)... I agree. Even if we use that logic to punt some problems to AGI -- e.g. solve near-light speed travel, or space-based solar power -- we cannot afford to sit idly by while climate change destroys the planet.

Yes, near-light speed travel is a great problem to solve with AGI! And maybe even faster-than-light travel! Now, you got me excited :-)
