Using t-SNE, the 12th closest point to Data Scientist is Astrologer. Sounds about right to me.

I don't think it's a legit use of t-SNE. Distances in its space don't really provide anything except maybe local structure and are non-deterministic. After all, you can query raw vectors for a list of most similar ones.
I'm not 100% sure it knows what an astrologer is. Closest match is an astronomer.
