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.

Honestly, i think their (openAI) rationale is that they paid these developers 500k$/yr or whatever... so in their minds, they set these devs up for lifetime success... therefore they have no obligation to keep them employed for long term

I think the devs who are smart, understood the unspoken terms of their agreement

    The smartest guy I know - dizzyingly capable - was only pulling a very small fraction of that. I suspect 'or whatever' is doing a lof of heavy lifting, here.
