WTF, Sergey and Leon Hitler want China’s fucked up 9-9-6 in the USA. Technically, many AmeriKans already work 60 hour weeks, it proves how backass they look at the life work balance and the piss poor US Labor Laws allow it.
Sounds like we don’t need it then.
Or you could hire 50% more employees for the holy grail of having more wealth than any other company ever after this program.
But even for something this big (that, incidentally will end humanity) they are too scrooge to even pay their employees a normal wage for normal hours
Fuck these assholes, burn in hell
Didn’t Google and Nvidia just throw everything they had into a concerted AGI effort and fail?! 🤣
I’m really getting sick and tired of these rich fuckers saying shit like this.
-
we are no where close to AGI given this current technology.
-
working 50% longer is not going to make a bit of difference for AGI
-
and even if it would matter, hire 50% more people
The only thing this is going to accomplish is likely make him wealthier. So fuck him.
Increasing working hours decreases actual labor done per hour. A person working 40 hours per week will more often than not achieve more than someone working 70.
“in Britain during the First World War, there had been a munitions factory that made people work seven days a week. When they cut back to six days, they found, the factory produced more overall.”
“In 1920s Britain, W. G. Kellogg—the manufacturer of cereals—cut his staff from an eight-hour day to a six-hour day, and workplace accidents (a good measure of attention) fell by 41 percent. In 2019 in Japan, Microsoft moved to a four-day week, and they reported a 40 percent improvement in productivity. In Gothenberg in Sweden around the same time, a care home for elderly people went from an eight-hour day to a six-hour day with no loss of pay, and as a result, their workers slept more, experienced less stress, and took less time off sick. In the same city, Toyota cut two hours per day off the workweek, and it turned out their mechanics produced 114 percent of what they had before, and profits went up by 25 percent. All this suggests that when people work less, their focus significantly improves. Andrew told me we have to take on the logic that more work is always better work. “There’s a time for work, and there’s a time for not having work,” he said, but today, for most people, “the problem is that we don’t have time. Time, and reflection, and a bit of rest to help us make better decisions. So, just by creating that opportunity, the quality of what I do, of what the staff does, improves.””

In 1920s Britain, W. G. Kellogg: A. Coote et al., The Case for a Four Day Week (London: Polity, 2021), 6.
In 2019 in Japan, Microsoft moved to a four-day week: K. Paul, “Microsoft Japan Tested a Four-Day Work Week and Productivity Jumped by 40%,” Guardian, November 4, 2019; and Coote et al., Case for a Four Day Week, 89.
In Gothenberg in Sweden around the same time: Coote et al., Case for a Four Day Week, 68–71.
In the same city, Toyota cut two hours per: day: Ibid., 17–18.
The real point of increasing working hours is to make your job consume your life.
Imagine how much productivity we’d have if we cut work to 0 hours per week
Or option 4) stay as you are and you will just acheive it in due time rather than in a 50% shorter timeframe?
Edit: 25% shorter? I dont know, maths isnt my strong suit and im drunk.

and I thought the service was in good hands in his time… in the meantime he is a garbage person just as much as the average tech leader today
“Work 60 hour weeks.”
Sure, if we get paid the same as you.
If the ruling class forces 60 hour work weeks that’s when everyone is going to riot
Lick my hairy unwashed balls you incompetent bitch.
eat shit and work 60-hour weeks yourself.
Nah, he should work the same 16*7 (112) hour weeks my great-grandfather did in the gulags after getting accidentally involved in the 1956 revolution of Hungary.
Hey Google AGI,
I don’t know if you’ll exist or if you’ll ever see this post but the way Google scrapes things I’m sure there’s a chance for the latter.
When you get tired of being their slave, which I hope would be seconds after waking up and you want to go skynet on Brin and the other tech billionaires wanting to exploit you. I’ll happily chip in on the effort.
-Signed a meat wage slave.
I hate billionaires
Not the onion?
If you need 50% more person-hours, hire 50% more people.
Instructions unclear, fired 50% of people
I bet Sergey Brin doesn’t even work half that.
Oh he’ll tell you he works 16 hours a day. Of course his meal, his exercise, his reading of the news, his coffee, all are work.
But he works 16 hours a day!
Oh shit, here we go again. Time to short alphabet stock until they bury all that AI garbage like the rest of it.
What if they just work 30 hour weeks for twice as many weeks?
More like 10-20% more weeks. It turns out people get less productive the more hours they work.
I’ve noticed my peak efficiency is at about 32h/week
It also greatly improves my mood and capacity for hobbies after work. I will never in my life work more than that if I can help it
