AI execs return to suits: Dario's style shift linked to big corporate deals
Linahuaa · x · 2026-08-19
Industry observers note a shift back to suits and formal wear in the AI sector, contrasting with the hoodie-and-sandals era of the 2010s. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is cited as pioneering the return of "boomer-coded" McKinsey-style attire, which helped secure major corporate contracts. The shift is attributed to the massive capex requirements of AI and competition from Chinese models, making the rebellious indie style less viable.
