Hey techbro, just grind yourself into dust for a few more years, and I’m sure the AI overlords will reward you with a utopia, or at least a free latte in the break room. Totally worth it, right?

    So he’s saying it’s possible but gonna take 50% longer than he wants. Working longer hours is not the bottleneck here.

      I mean what’s he saying is pure bullshit because we have no idea what it’s going to take to make AGI right now. It’s pretty clear that what he actually wants is to just work people harder for less pay. Even if what he said was true, the solution would be simply to hire more people. The oligarchs keeps trying create a fake labor shortage narrative here to justify more exploitation.

    That works out to 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday, which Brin calls the “sweet spot of productivity.”

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH get fucked, assclown. The sweet spot of productivity is 6h per day, tops.

    Besides, “torture yourself 12h a day so we can be the first to bring AI overlords into our world” is less likely to entice the workforce than “we’ll suck 100ml of blood off all of you in order to keep my skin young”

    995 work schedule for the techies. The tech oligarchy will never give up their H-1B visa immigrant labor force, because they know they can work them like dogs.
