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.

    Sam Altman saying that programmers are not needed anymore is all the confirmation I need to know we’ll be very much needed, maybe a lot more than before, probably sooner than expected.

      While I don’t like the idea of having to clean up all the slop his crap is generating I like the future job security.

      I think he’s just trying to further normalize the outsourcing/underpaying/devaluing of programmers.
