The opinion suggests that OpenAI and Anthropic, operating as "companies" with "products" while wrestling with humanity's destiny, creates an absurd governance structure.
It is compared to the setup in Neon Genesis Evangelion (EVA), where the pilots of giant mechs saving the world are high school students. This implies a structural and cultural mismatch in how top AI labs handle existential risks.
