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.

If you swap “says” with “hints”, it works though.

  If you swap “says” with “doesn’t say” it also works.

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 meaning 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.

  And he’s out of his mind or lying just the same. AI needs constant supervision, and if a human has to understand the code well enough to debug it, they may as well learn about it the code by – writing it themselves…

    He’s basically a salesman, you can’t expect him to say the truth against his interests

    Someone who believes they’re telling the truth when they try to sell me magic farts is still a lunatic.

He didn’t say them at the same time. He is absolutely all about firing them. It’s his favorite pastime.
