If you could find the original video, I would like to see it. I mistakenly thought the article was referencing his talk at Cambridge Union, but it sounds like the "antichrist" talk was closed door.
His Cambridge Union speech didn't strike me as evil either.
I'm not sure being a pseudointellectual (if that's what he is) would make him evil, would it?
I've seen his 'antichrist' talk as part of headlines out of context and to be honest assumed that this is a rhetorical/hyperbolic device, rather than a literal thing. Is your claim that he actually literally thinks someone is the antichrist? So far he just seems to be someone with a bent against degrowthers?
Is there a specific quote or position that makes him _evil_? Rather than just ill-informed or with an unpopular political opinion? Like he might just believe in tech growth at all costs because he really does think it will benefit everyone, or he might pretend to think that because he thinks it will benefit him at the expense of everyone else. It's hard to tell from what you've provided so far.
I honestly haven't heard him talk much, so would appreciate specific quotes for my analysis/interpretation.

He has a paper thin understanding of classics, which he then uses a device to sprinkles everywhere to make him appear more clever.

I can't find the speech anymore, but his basic thrust is that Tunberg and anyone who thinks that unleashing raw AI on the internet is an antichrist.
They are the antichrist because they are holding back progress.
Despite the US scientific budget being ripped apart by Trump.
The op-ed does not strike me as evil.

Clearly not or are being very dishonest with themselves.
