Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

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.

      They’re not as rich as him. If you have shit tons of money you can be a braindead moron and still fail upwards.

      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.

          I dunno, in this case the amateur happens to be able to absorb a whole lotta hits too - they can fail over and over while waiting for you to slip.
