The Atlantic reports that Anthropic has hired so many high-profile professors that academia is turning it into a running joke.
The piece says the company’s recruiting spree is now so visible that “I’m joining Anthropic” has become a meme in academic circles, with the article using one professor’s non-move as part of the punchline. The screenshot also shows the story discussing a recent hire from UC Berkeley.
