Andrej Karpathy, a prominent AI researcher and former OpenAI co-founder, has taken a "Member of Technical Staff" (MTS) title at Anthropic, sparking widespread discussion. This title is also being adopted by other high-profile hires at Anthropic and OpenAI, signaling a trend towards flatter organizational structures and a focus on technical contribution over traditional hierarchical titles. While proponents argue this fosters a more research-oriented culture and deters headhunters, critics suggest it can be a form of "pseudo-flatness" that masks underlying hierarchies and disadvantages less established employees.
