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.

    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.
