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.

    Every programmer working on a problem right now knows that’s complete bullshit.

    That said, I would love for robots to take over all of our jobs. Just make sure they’re working for all of us and not just the people at the top.

      Worked with playwright in C# .NET today and lol the “AIs” knew shit about it. Constantly mixed C# with JavaScript and Python code together and it was incoherent

        Then your input is wrong. I mainly work in .net c# and playwright and I have agents building my e2e tests in playwright with just test cases and test steps. These are custom agents I built myself that have the guardrails in place for the agent to stay in bounds.

          The agents are getting pretty good at reviewing code, too. You don’t have to listen to everything they say, but they do point out a lot of stuff that you pretty much have to admit: yeah, that would be better if I changed it to the suggested revision.
