All these AI ceos seem to be getting pretty desperate these days, do they know something we don't
Yeah, they know that all they have is advanced predictive text and that if people see through the mysticism they're trying to project (about this predictive text on steroids being the emergence of a technogod), they're fucked.
If you scoured the world for the most punchable face, you’d surely come up with Sam Altman
Maybe it's time to cut ties.
Let the CEO do his business with AI only. Let the developers do their own business without a CEO and without AI.
So, we're just trafficking in misinformation now?
Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort
True
, Says Their Time Is Over
Complete fiction. Clickbait misinformation.
The tweet:
I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.
Thank you for getting us to this point.
I agree, the "Says Their Time Is Over" part is clickbaity, but the sentiment is the same. He's thanking "manual programmers" for taking us to this point, clearly implying that from now on they will be no longer required
I can understand how that can be read into what he said.
I was simply pointing out that the headline is lying about what he said.
Gotta say Sam, spoken like a true sister molester
And when AI inevitably collapses, programmers should join unions and negotiate for a much higher wage, as they will be in even more need to fix all the shit that gets broken. Everyone knows it's easier to replace or rebuild, but companies can't do that, they'll need their code, their databases, accounts, everything - fixed. That will cost them more than they ever thought they'd save. AI will one day do the things they want, but we're looking at decades until it can reach that point.
AI is lame so it should be able to take all of the CEO jobs already. That would save the shareholders millions, billions even
These idiots want to replace technical workers when AI is more attuned to replacing a CEO at this point. We don't need Sam anymore.
Right. There are consequences when engineers make mistakes.
the funny thing is that by all accounts replacing programmers with AI leads to hiring programmers back to fix AI mess.
Fuck 'Madoff' Altman.
Bad news is: 840 billion.
The biggest pile of bullshit bucks that the world has ever seen, and this guy's sorry ass is sitting on top.
To every developer/programmer/coder/engineer/whatever that gets laid off in favour of AI soon, keep your skills up. Keep learning. The time is coming when they'll need you back to fix it. Remember to price yourself to make up for loss of earnings in the interim and then some
+ punitive damages
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.
lets hope if robots take over they dispose of those useless ceos and billionaires
Petition to merc all billionaires
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.
