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.
Hey Sam, just so you know, if I do get laid off, I am going to charge at LEAST double when some of these assholes need to hire me back to fix the AI generated disaster they’re struggling to keep running while bleeding money. So thanks you in advance, I guess.
Double??? Fuck that. Charge 10x as much. These rich assholes pay pennies while hoarding billions. Don’t feel bad for them when you need to clean up THEIR mess. I usually want everyone to feel empathy, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. Have no empathy for billionaires. Their GOAL is to make you suffer. Milk their bank account dry.
Lol. The system is set up so that (few) workers will have the leverage to charge double…
Whoops… medical issue… please, sam altman, hire me back at the same salary as before! Or half, i dont care!
That’s true, but they can still charge double by taking longer to fix the problem.
There’s going to be a lot of “# decrement this wait counter every time the boss demands a performance improvement” code in the near future.
Open class warfare isn’t a sustainable way to build infrastructure.
We’re on track to reach a point where nothing produced by the FANG companies ever works right.
Then we’ll see how long the public tolerates it for the comfort of the familiar.
