Sam Altman says he’s less interested in replacing coders (100% automation) — and more focused on making them 10x more productive. That could happen this year.

i'm a coder and I feel at least 10x more productive as evidenced by my GitHub contribution graph

God, how many months until this is contradicted? ASSUME Altman is capable of 100% automation, and his competitors too. Is altman going to go with 10xing productivity or launch 100% automation? The only situation 10x goes before 100%, is if you cant go 100%

Coders as superpowers, not robots. That's the future I'm buying into.

I guess it's already made eveyone very productive.. some are claiming 10x to 100x already 😬

good.

If ASI happens and is 100x the IQ of the average dev what good exactly would a human in the loop do? Make spaghetti?

I dont think « he thinks », is what the data says.

He claimed he made coders 10x more productive years ago. 😂 And Claude already has made my time coding 10x more productive. But that doesn't mean I'm shipping 10x. Dude needs to go away.

Before internet - newspapers it’s not replaced 100% Before digital currency - paper currency is not 100% replaced This is evolution and coders will not be 100% replaced BUT there will be different expectations. Coders will do same job in a different way.

This is!

Definitely not something what @waitin4agi_ wanted him to say.

Who trusts this weasel? Sister abusing weirdo

Good man

W take from @sama

why make them sell tools when you can sell employees ?

Not with 4o

Productivity is not about replacing human skill, it's about enhancing it with purpose. The goal isn't to erase the coder… but to free them to do what only humans can: create with depth. #AIProductivity #SamAltman #FutureOfWork #SmartLiveGlow ✨ SmartLiveGlow™ – Empowering your digital light.

what a liar 😂 also x10 production means 90% lay off no ?

Managers can’t let theirs engineers become 10x. Else the whole team including the manager would be let go because so much productivity is not really required

Guess he is having a whoops moment

So he’s interested in displacing 90% of future coding needs… Kidding I get it obv, but the subtext is he doesn’t care whether he replaces coders or not. He’s “disinterested” in replacing coders

If demand won't increase 10 times, what they say is just a play on words.

If you really made them 10x more productive you effectively replaced 90% of them.

10x productivity improvement happened in 2023/4...

Hey vitrupo, Sam Altman better watch out before we make his job 10x more obsolete too 😡 Let's strive for progress, not redundancy. #CodingRevolution

When a coder becomes 10x more productive they will probably produce 10x more meaningless virtual products that nobody really wants or needs.
