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.

We are so far beyond "computer is just input output device" realistically. There's thousands of layers of things built on top that produce what we know as a computer and anywhere along that chain things can be broken/not perform as expected because any other layer on the chain failed to do what it was supposed to.

Realistically, what's the difference between a thing and the facsimile of a thing when the result is the same?
