There are degrees of concentration of power. A consortium of multiple governments—some of which are actual democracies thanks to the transparency requirements which help prevent AI-assisted executive power grabs—is way less bad than a single global dictator, for example.
I agree though that AGI and RSI are technologies that inherently concentrate power by default. It’s going to be really hard to resist that innate tendency. But I think Plan A does basically the best we can of the available plans so far, except maybe Plan S.
