Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, believes that to maintain a competitive edge in the AI sector, employees should work at least 60 hours per week. In a recent memo, he emphasized this 'sweet spot of productivity' and criticized those who contribute less, suggesting they demoralize others. Brin supports in-office work throughout the week and warns against overworking, stating that while 60 hours is necessary, exceeding that could jeopardize health. His focus is on pushing Google forward in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, particularly toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).
"A number of folks work less than 60 hours and a small number put in the bare minimum to get by. This last group is not only unproductive but also can be highly demoralizing to everyone else."
"Competition has accelerated immensely, and the final race to AGI is afoot. I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we are going to have to work harder to make it happen."
