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.
Then your input is wrong. I mainly work in .net c# and playwright and I have agents building my e2e tests in playwright with just test cases and test steps. These are custom agents I built myself that have the guardrails in place for the agent to stay in bounds.
The agents are getting pretty good at reviewing code, too. You don’t have to listen to everything they say, but they do point out a lot of stuff that you pretty much have to admit: yeah, that would be better if I changed it to the suggested revision.
I wasnt building test cases :)
The point was that AI can use playwright and write in C# just fine. Tests was an example of that.
Tests are a great use for AI coding, lately. Six months ago Claude Sonnet was writing tests that always passed without testing anything, that has improved dramatically with Opus 4.5/4.6 - it actually hits the functionality now, not just code coverage.
