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.

Okay, so what does that say about everyone who’s failed to outsmart him?

    I'm remembering the old duelist's adage, that the worst opponent to have is an amateur - because you have no idea what they'll try

    After 30 or so years of witnessing firsthand that the amateur really only has one or two moves, though… at a certain point that adage kind of falls apart. I can’t think of anyone whose playbook is more predictable.
