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.

Yeah he sounds like those managers comparing work to how many lines of code you wrote.

Most code I write is something that has not been written before, so barring the basics it's not an AI I need to work but silence and clear goals (even if they change tomorrow).

    The pattern for me is usually 2 or 3 days of analyzing how something works, should work or doesn't work, then 2 or 3 hours of writing the code to implement or fix it. Most of the work is not writing code, and that is definitely the easy bit.
