X user varepsilon (15.9K followers) quote-shared a screenshot joking that "San Francisco is reinventing the caste system from first principles." The screenshot defines the #1 metric for rating an SF party — how many OpenAI and Anthropic employees you got to attend — and sketches "the new 2027 hierarchy of people: 1. Researchers who work at a lab...". A viral AI-culture meme satirizing the industry's lab-researcher status worship.
