In the note, shared internally and viewed by the New York Times, Brin urges staff working on Google’s Gemini AI projects to put in long hours to help the company lead the race in artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Some have praised Brin’s commitment to pushing the company’s success, but others argue that his approach reflects an outdated and harmful mindset.
“The hustle-centric 60-hour week isn’t productivity—it’s burnout waiting to happen,” wrote workplace mental health educator Catherine Eadie in a post shared by LinkedIn’s news editors.
Others said they feel that hard work is essential for success, with a COO of a business analytics business writing, “Brin is just being honest—successful people have always put in long hours."
Well, if Sergey Brin wants to work 60 hour weeks, be my guest. Sounds like a good idea for the CEO class, since they should really justify what they’re paid.
Irony alert: pushing humans harder while building AI to replace them—brilliant strategy, Sergey.

people like this shouldn’t be allowed to finish their sentences on their own terms. it should be cut short by an extreme force.
Has there ever been a better call to eat the rich?!

I honestly think it’s more like 30. If we’re all just making numbers up.
Outside of the google office would be a sweet spot for a guillotine.
