I don't remember "changing the world" being mocked in HBO's Silicon Valley and not seeing a mention of the "Making the world a better place" in the OP?

When someone says in a startup/recruiting/motivational context that they aim to "change the world", there's an implied "for the better".

That makes the OP's appeal to "change the world [for the better]" highly similar to the "make the world a better place" phrasing highlighted in the linked 'Silicon Valley' spoofs.
