"Claire’s constant attempts to one-up her brother" would imply that she's doing something now to do it. She's talking about the distant past. And since she is the older sibling, she couldn't possibly have been trying to one-up him even back when she was in high school, since he would have been in middle school and couldn't go the the same parties at the same time she did anyway. She just happened to be less tightly-wound back in high school, so she got to have more fun. Rubbing it in now, as Tova said, is just good ol' sibling rivalry.
We know that Claire had never kissed anyone before Marten, so they're both late bloomers. She was just better at hiding it (or maybe it's just that she never thought about it). And now that Clinton is starting to loosen up and find it easier to talk to girls he likes, he'll do just fine.

I think it's almost cute that Clinton thinks no one was fucking at AI camp

I've been at a robotics camp. Have you ever seen a group of 100 shy, introverted nerdy kids? I'd be surprised if anyone there talked about anything other than servos and programming, and I certainly don't think anyone made any kind of physical contact, to say nothing about getting their bone on. I honestly felt bad for those kids. I never had a girlfriend in high school, but at least I could talk to girls.

They say the difference between tragedy and comedy is perspective. Though when it comes to tossing around literature, a forced perspective is usually not so good.
