Disgusting prasite seeking free labour

Perhaps this is what you mean, but it's even worse than just unpaid hours for current employees. His implicit goal is to generate a slave-class of people (which is what actual AI would be) that he can make more of or delete at his whim, and eliminate to livelihoods of any current employees (besides him and other execs, of course).

Dude who's done nothing of importance since bouncing off google throwing words like that 😄

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

That might speed it up, but that certainly is not a prerequisite.

I bet it would happen faster if this guy was fired.

You know it's bad when I had to click all the way through to the body of the article to verify this isn't a The Onion thing. Do we still have a "Not The Onion" space here?

So he's saying it's not in reach then.

Real AGI is a Guillotine that only removes the heads of dragons.

I hope they tell him to get fucked.

If you all work harder we’ll be able to fire you and increase my bonus!

I thought Googlers were paid $500K+ and already worked 60-80 hours weeks?

maybe ai should work that extra time.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure the science says it's more like 20-30. I know personally, if I try to work more than about 40-ish hours in a week, the time comes out of the following week without me even trying. A task that took two hours in a 45-hour "crunch" week will end up taking three when I don't have to crunch. And if I keep up the crunch for too long, I start making a lot of mistakes.

A liar, scam artist, and scumbag.

What a brilliant suggestion, no way an AI could have come up with that, executive jobs are safe forever!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

lmao, what a tool

Specifically, the women who report to him that he's attracted to need to spend 60 hours a week dating him.

Thanks for the input, Big Head.

I guess we don't need it then.
