"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.

That's perfectly fine for people to interpret it that way, and if they're right and Altman fires his programmers (I highly doubt this, because while he's an idiot, he's not stupid) they will be proven correct.

My point is that for a journalist to make the interpretation and deliver is as fact, to me, crosses a line.

It's one thing to say, "Altman thanks programmers for their work amidst layoffs across the industry" and another thing entirely to say, "Altman says programmers time is over". It weakens trust in journalism to make an interpretation as a journalist and deliver it to an audience as fact when it very well might not be true.
