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.

Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.

Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.

However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.

    Altman knows. He still has devs in his company, and he didn't lay them all off. OpenAI is set to go bankrupt in around 1 year. He needs to keep the hype to get as much more money in, and himself generous bonuses, before it goes down.
