Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

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.

    Honestly, i think their (openAI) rationale is that they paid these developers 500k$/yr or whatever… so in their minds, they set these devs up for lifetime success… therefore they have no obligation to keep them employed for long term

    I think the devs who are smart, understood the unspoken terms of their agreement

      The smartest guy I know - dizzyingly capable - was only pulling a very small fraction of that. I suspect ‘or whatever’ is doing a lof of heavy lifting, here.
