The AI Industry Compared to an Anime with an Undecided Genre
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-16
This post throws OpenAI's highly-paid veterans and "the young talent recruited by Wenfeng" into the same "anime narrative" for banter: no matter how you compare them, the industry feels like a show that hasn't decided on its genre yet.
The underlying joke is that the talent stories, organizational rivalries, and generational shifts in the AI industry are ultimately framed as a debate over whether it's a "hot-blooded shonen anime" or an "isekai reincarnation series."
