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.

    Hey Sam, just so you know, if I do get laid off, I am going to charge at LEAST double when some of these assholes need to hire me back to fix the AI generated disaster they’re struggling to keep running while bleeding money. So thank you in advance, I guess.

    Every programmer working on a problem right now knows that’s complete bullshit.

    That said, I would love for robots to take over all of our jobs. Just make sure they’re working for all of us and not just the people at the top.

      It seems to me that you live in some kind of rainbow world, this will never happen. If robots replace humans, it means that humans, as useless consumers of resources, will be destroyed.

        I think they decided that the collapse was inevitable and decided to party while there was time, until they had to run to the bunkers.
