if we get AGI and a post-scarcity age what makes these people think they -reaching- AGI will make them kings.
seems like governments will have a thing to say about who's able to run that AGI or not.
GPU's run on datacenters which exist in countries
Yes but countries are run by governments, which are composed of people, who can be bribed. If you believe that AI will make you the richest person in human history, you presumably can see that the problem of government can be solved with enough money.

Tokyo Professor and former Beijing Billionaire CEO Jack Ma, may disagree.
You're right that the CCP is a major obstacle to a truly globalized kleptocracy.
Presumably they think that, whatever chance they have of becoming kings if they get there first is more than the chance if someone else does. In we get AGI, we is doing all the work.
