What you're saying makes no sense. People need to realise that those at the helm are actually as stupid or worse than the average joe. They are profoundly uneducated and just happened to be in the right social circles to reach power. This is especially true in the US. As for AI, someone thinks there's money to be made from AI so it's getting pumped. Same shit for crypto. What we really need is a French revolution in the US, but that will never happen because even the most destitute of US americans thinks they're a millionaire who just happens to be on a low luck slump, so they will never revolt against the elite that "they are a part of".
I wouldn't go that far, oligarchs (in the US or otherwise) are generally very intelligent, sophisticated (in the functional sense) and even hard working.
This is not meant to be some sort of justification, they are clearly corrupt, deeply dishonest and extremely malicious. That doesn't mean they should be underestimated or one should discount their capabilities.
This is a good point. Intelligent sociopaths do exist. "stupid" and "evil" are not synonyms.
