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.
Sam Altman saying that programmers are not needed anymore is all the confirmation I need to know we’ll be very much needed, maybe a lot more than before, probably sooner than expected.
While I don’t like the idea of having to clean up all the slop his crap is generating I like the future job security.
I think he’s just trying to further normalize the outsourcing/underpaying/devaluing of programmers.
Except that we’re going to start asking for more pay to clean up after AI slop.
