The weekly duration of the working day is a hot debate, not only here in Europe (where we are relatively close to 37.5 hours), but around the world. Everything that comes out of the 40 hours to which we are used to seems unusual, more if it is one of the eccentric proposals of Elon Musk. The same thing also happens with what Sergey Brin offersOne of the founders of Google.
Brin thinks that his business is about to make a leap forward in terms of artificial intelligence. To do this, he put a lot of pressure on his engineers, so much so that he asked them not only to return to the office five days a week, But seeks to work more in Google's offices. More specifically, 60 hours per week.
This is what Brin asks Google employees
Sergey Brin, whose fortune is estimated at around 144 billion dollars, knows that Google must walk on the accelerator if you want to win the market race, like Chatgpt. As explained by the Gizmodo media, this is the reason why Google Engineers responsible for this technology Download the pace to advance on this competitive market.
This petition is included in a memorandum to which the New York Times had access, taking place in a textual and non -figurative way. The intention is that its workers Spend more time in the officeWorking hard: “The competition has accelerated considerably and the final race for AI is underway,” wrote Brin himself in the document.
This statement, sent last week, said that in addition to this need to return to the office five days, “60 hours per week is the optimal productivity point“This message is not aimed at all employees of the company, but is intended for those dedicated to the development of Gemini.

In addition to the above, the penis explains that professionals are invited to this internal note to stop building “nanny products”, something like products for children or babies. According to Sergey Brin, brand products They are full of filters and jokes of different types And what the company needs are “capable products and which our users trust”.
The future of an AI that can destroy jobs
Another remarkable point of Brin's message is that he thinks that Google has what is necessary to win this career in AI, but that current efforts are not necessary: ”Competition has accelerated considerably and The last race for artificial intelligence is underway. I think we have all the ingredients to win this race, but we will have to kill our efforts.
Interestingly, he also asks his employees to use AI to encode. Remember that, as Gizmodo also explains, Artificial intelligence can achieve jobs of “theft” to human beingsAmong them to the programmers themselves.
If we join all the points, it seems that Brin intends to that their engineers work 200% to improve A technology that can replace them in the future It may not be as distant as one might think.
