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.

Any software engineer who uses AI knows this to be horseshit. If anything, it’ll lead to more engineering jobs when all of the pleb CEOs who think they’re CTOs now begin to realize that there’s more to coding than the code, and their software is ass at scale. Hopefully this happens in hilarious and public ways for us all to enjoy.
How come so many billionaires are so incredibly immeasurably stupid? Seriously, this dude sounds like some random moron on the street. Musk does too. I’ve seen interviews with Musk where he rambles his answers aimlessly. I mean fuck you’d at least expect them to be a bit above average. But no. They’re angry online pseudointellectual level.
Hahahaha… go fuck yourself, you miserable thief
This dude is an empty husk of a human being. Sim Notman
He and Mr. Beast are the perfect couple
my (non technical boss) proudly declared they had “vibe coded a new landing page for our contact us page”
when you hit the submit button it downloaded the .ico of the website to the temp files and nothing else.
Perfect for a malicious code injection!
All these AI ceos seem to be getting pretty desperate these days, do they know something we don’t
Maybe they know we’re cooking ourselves off the planet and they want to speed things up.
Yeah, they know that all they have is advanced predictive text and that if people see through the mysticism they’re trying to project (about this predictive text on steroids being the emergence of a technogod), they’re fucked.
lets hope if robots take over they dispose of those useless ceos and billionaires
Lol the “AI” that can write a functioning optimized software especially with niche stuff, i still have to see
Gui. Llo. Ti. Ne.
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.
lol There aren’t even discussions happening about rules of robotics or anything along those lines. It’s just a race into the unknown with no real sense of direction.
The human way
The dumb human way. Asimov was human too.
We can achieve purpose without production, but nobody understands what that looks like and they want to hold onto their roles in production until they feel secure about not needing to produce for society to survive.
I’m hopeful that humans won’t need to trade their lives to make others rich. AI and Robotics might be a path toward that if the people are the benefactors.
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.
I wasnt building test cases :)
I’ll take all the AI they throw at me once the governments start taxing the rich appropriately, and these taxes cover for at least the basic needs of everyone. I’m not holding my breath, they always want everything.
I wish more people brought this up instead of just flinging shit at users/companies using AI.
They’re fighting an unwinable battle, AI is here to stay and it will keep improving, we have to adapt and ensure people are able to have their basic needs met.
But that’s scary socialism or w/e.
AI is absolutely not here to stay. This kind of nonsense needs to be nipped in the bud. The capital investment for ai simply can’t be recouped without major fantastical leaps in business.
The revenue coming in is a shell game. The investment numbers simply can’t be recouped without being more expensive than actual people.
So yeah. It absolutely can go away.
Lmfao and computers are just for nerds
Edit: OpenAI, Anthropic, etc can all die, but LLMs are not. You can run a local model.
Now I completely agree with the hype train is completely out of control and its a monetary bubble, but the tool itself is not going away.
Edit2: I think the dotcom bubble is a good analogy, the underlying idea of the internet and all it can do and online ordering and such was solid, just an insane amount of hype on top that simply couldn’t be reached at that time. But now, the biggest companies ever are mainly internet/tech companies.
Computers are input-output devices. You put things into a computer and it does what you tell it to do.
LMM’s do not do this they just give you a facsimile of what it believes you want.
LMM’s will not go away but their functionality is extremely limited, as has been proven by it’s failure to ‘change business forever.’
And no, ‘but the tech isn’t there’ isn’t an argument right now. This is economics. The investment for it’s current capabilities are far outsized, and there will be a massive contraction.
So, we’re just trafficking in misinformation now?
Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort
True
, Says Their Time Is Over
Complete fiction. Clickbait misinformation.
The tweet:
I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.
Thank you for getting us to this point.
I agree, the “Says Their Time Is Over” part is clickbaity, but the sentiment is the same. He’s thanking “manual programmers” for taking us to this point, clearly implying that from now on they will be no longer required
I can understand how that can be read into what he said.
I was simply pointing out that the headline is lying about what he said.
And he’s out of his mind or lying just the same. AI needs constant supervision, and if a human has to understand the code well enough to debug it, they may as well learn about it the code by – writing it themselves…
He’s basically a salesman, you can’t expect him to say the truth against his interests
Someone who believes or pretends to believe they’re telling the truth when they try to sell me magic farts is still a lunatic or an asshole.
He didn’t say them at the same time. He is absolutely all about firing them. It’s his favorite pastime.
If you swap “says” with “hints”, it works though.
If you swap “says” with “doesn’t say” it also works.
And yet, if you walk into any discussion about LLM use in coding, devs come out in droves to defend and even champion its use…
These companies have more money in their hands than they can carry, is it too crazy to think they may be somehow buying on public perception? I’m not trying to make a point on this, I don’t have the time, just saying, this kind of thing happens all the time; investing on public opinion is quite cheap for them.
I think most engineers don’t really like it because it’s making things harder and way less fun. The people who usually seem all about it are engineering managers and c suite idiots. They are all pushing it so hard. The message is clear, use the ai or be fired. It’s been sold to them and they bought it with everything they have. It’s not going to happen the way they think though.
AI tools are nice when I use them the way I want to. I like to do the stuff I am good at and have it help me with what I’m not so good at. At work they want us to just use it for everything though until it can just replace us. That’s bullshit and it ruined any benefits we would have gained
most engineers don’t really like it because it’s making things harder and way less fun
This is how I felt about managing teams of junior developers and/or offshore teams. Just too much annoying work and the result was invariably shitty. The only times in my 25-year programming career that I enjoyed myself and produced work that I was proud of was when I did everything myself.
Unless I’m mistaken, it took programmers to code AI in the first place.
That’s what he’s saying. He’s thanking them for the effort and is saying the AI they created made them obsolete.
The arrogance is astounding
Nah, Sam. I think it’s your time that’s soon over…
