Job offer Memes

Anthropic really out here offering $570k/year for a Software Engineer role that "may not exist in 12 months" because they know Claude is about to automate everyone out of a job. The irony is chef's kiss—they're basically saying "hey come work on the AI that'll replace you, here's half a mil for your trouble." That disclaimer at the bottom hits different when you realize they're not worried about funding or pivots... they're worried their own product will make the position obsolete. Imagine putting that on a job posting. "Join our team to build the thing that makes your team unnecessary!" At least they're honest about it, I guess? The real kicker: someone's gonna take that offer, bank the cash for a year, then use Claude to build their startup while unemployed. Circle of life.
