If a strong leader is a prerequisite for any improvement, what choice do we have? I think that’s his point of view, and it makes sense (as in, it’s consistent). The way to counter it would be to show a path to lasting improvement that does not require a strong leader.
True. I just want to point out the irony on hoping for a providential all-powerful machine in order to avoid relying on a providential all-powerful human. What makes you think the AI saviour will be in more virtuous hands?

If you are not in the worst possible dystopia, you have the choice of sticking with what you’ve got.
Then you face having to make the same choice in 10 years but with worse options.
Depending on AI timelines etc., this may be fine.

I don’t think that.
