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 programer) I've tried vibe coding some simple things for myself and gotten "decent" results. I couldn't imagine trying to make anything ready for commercial release. I've had to learn the basics of Python just to unfuck its mistakes...

Did he expect programmers to be like "thank you sir, we tip our hat and go home to our lavish houses to retire now, farewell and good luck" ... like, having slaves make your mansion then burying them all alive and thinking its a gift is insane.

Ok? He can go down that hole, but the programmers will congregate. I'd like to see him then.
