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.

Programmer here, my reaction to this is: 🤣🤣🤣

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Same attitude as "Canada, who needs them". You'll come crawling back shortly. It's up to programmers to tell these fuckers where to go when that time comes. Know your worth.

Their models can't replace anyone, its just a fancy autocomplete. Before, we took snippets from GitHub and StackOverflow now it's just a chat. Cool feature, but they overpromised big time.

Great! I finally have an excuse to take that hiatus I've been meaning to do for the past several years. You've got my number when everything breaks! Oh, and when it does my rate is gonna be double what it is now.

[-] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Don't sell yourself short. At least triple what it is now.

This will probably put me in a blacklist in job hunting but if I work as IT in a union-busting, lay-off company and some recently fucked-over employee comes up to me I am giving them all the critical passwords "by accident."

You'll be sued and fined, not blacklisted lol. Though, the shit on your background check might blacklist you effectively

I meant "posting this online" lmao.

I have a feeling that OpenAI won't be long for the chop. They're burning through capital and unlike Google or Facebook they don't have any other revenue stream than AI. Nor did they focus and specialise on something, such as coding so even by that metric Anthropic is shitting all over them.

[-] metermatic26@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Are you suggesting OpenAI and others like it might actually be…

overvalued?! 🫢

That haircut screams untrustworthiness.

Every programmer working on a problem right now knows that's complete bullshit.

That said, I would love for robots to take over all of our jobs. Just make sure they're working for all of us and not just the people at the top.

It seems to me that you live in some kind of rainbow world, this will never happen. If robots replace humans, it means that humans, as useless consumers of resources, will be destroyed.

Is it okay that robots dispose of billionaires along with everyone else? Okay, I don't care anymore.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

I'm sure they will.
