Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”
Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”
“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.
(Not a programer) I’ve tried vibe coding some simple things for myself and gotten “decent” results. I couldn’t imagine trying to make anything ready for commercial release. I’ve had to learn the basics of Python just to unfuck its mistakes…
It is genuinely useful for people with limited programming experience to write simple scripts that will never be released in the wild.
That market is way too niche to justify the billions needed to achieve that result. Companies should just have professional human coding assistants.
Same here. It’s cool for drafting up a concept and I can imagine that it can help if you’re stuck somehow, but that’s about it.
Many draft ideas that I have come across for a slightly moderate difficulty projects have been mostly unworkable when you actually go to do it.
Not a programmer either and I’ve never been able to get a working product out of it. Best it’s done is get me like 60% of the way there and I have to finish the rest and that was rare.
