It’s like, what is wrong with this guy?
Personally, I think the issue with Huang is that success came too late.
Now obviously Nvidia has been a success story for a long time, long before AI, and Huang has probably been a multi-millionaire for decades, but there's a huge difference between Nvidia the gaming company and Nvidia the AI company. I doubt anyone even knew Huang's name back in 2010, and now he's big enough that his infidelities are front page news around the world.
The likes of Bezos or Musk were big deals almost right away, from much younger ages. They were always at the top status-wise, and I would argue this let them build up a natural resistance to the honeypots, gold diggers, and all the rest (obviously many of these big CEOs have still had issues with infidelity and affairs, but not like Huang). Huang has gone from being a rich nobody to now, at 60, being a titan of industry. He's never had the time to get used to that position.

Because there are already a bunch of left wing governments and nations that would happily implement UBI, but I'm not so sure there are many waiting to slaughter all other nations and peoples.
Plus, the kill all others path is much narrower, since it would require an AI that is sufficiently aligned not to take over or kill everyone itself, not so aligned that it wouldn't rebel if told to kill everyone, powerful enough that it could kill everyone else, and also in the control of this rogue nation. Whereas the UBI/Make-work path just depends on any aligned AGI existing.

I think your scenario is a bit of a prisoners dilemma.
One nation just needs to defect from offering fake jobs to offering full UBI and full automation to capture all knowledge work, at which point the entire edifice collapses.
This does assume that we still have normal nations and national governments ofc, which is not a given

I would bet large amounts that any opinion poll on this would be overwhelmingly in favour of rapid capability improvement

Prostitution is already largely legal in the UK. The UK does not permit brothels of the type you can find in Germany and surrounding countries, and street walking is still illegal, but arranging to meet an escort and paying for sex is pretty much entirely above board. (Though in classic UK fashion, you must now give your ID documents to escort websites in order to get around the age gates implemented by the Online safety act)

But you are in fact playing it on PC, and emulation is provided on the assumption that people are ripping legal copies of the game (and morally you could purchase a copy then download a ready to use version for your emulator I suppose)
Admittedly, it's not the most robust theory.
