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.

Imagine if you pirated a bunch of movies, and then went to the cinema and bragged about it. That's what Altman is doing there.

    Now I'm imagining Home Alone, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are breaking into people's homes to tell them about how good AI is...

    That is essentially how AI news headlines feel nowadays. And about how well their attempts to set the narrative lands with a public that is over it.
