A high-school genius meme ends with four people at Anthropic
hingeloss · x · 2026-07-27
A joke list of “smartest people from high school” includes four exaggerated outcomes, among them “anthropic x4,” plus entries like “Trump assistant solicitor general,” “failed chinese boy band singer (white guy),” and “Broadway lighting technician.”
The post is not delivering a factual industry claim; it is a humorous career-path meme that riffs on the stereotype that very smart classmates end up in wildly different, oddly specific trajectories—one of them being Anthropic.
