That does not look like a plan to me, it looks like two! One to make a lot of money and one to save the world with a lot of money. And lot of smart people look for plans to make a lot of money, lot of those same people have "throw an AI at it" as an hypothesis in their toolkit and are technically minded, competent in STEM, so it does not seem like an interesting direction to look at.

I do agree that it would be interesting to have a plan on how to effectively use a lot of money if we get it in whatever way but I would be quite surprised if "whatever way" ends up being "the community earns it" rather than "we convince some ultrarich like Elon Musk or some governments to give us a lot of money".
