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 bet it would happen faster if this guy was fired.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

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

That's why I bake my cake at 2608°C for ~1,8 minutes, it just works™

You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

Burnt crust full of liquid cake. yum!

It's more accurate than you think, because brulée literally means burnt

"Work 50% longer weeks so you can make something that'll both make me richer AND cost you your jobs!" is not the motivational speech he thinks it is.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't even know what AGI is, and I read the headline as "rich disconnected from reality asshole".

Turns out I was right.

A General ignoramus

Wait, are these AI boosters bragging about how close they are to building God the torture that Roko's Basilisk is inflicting on us all?

For how many years? Cuz y'all ain't anywhere near AGI. You can't even get generative AI to not suck compared to your competition in that market (which is a pretty low bar) lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I guess we don't need it then.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Let's work 20 hour weeks then. Who wants AGI other than war pigs and billionaires?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

I mean, we could get a rogue agi take over the world. It might not even be worse lmao

If it's in reach working 60 hour weeks, it's also in reach working 40 hour weeks, it will just take 1/3rd longer. ;)

[–] [email protected] 30 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Let's be real, it'll probably happen faster on 40 hour work weeks than 60.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

lots of evidence starting to point to it'd be quicker in 32 hour weeks than 40

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 156 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

[–] [email protected] 78 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Or, worse, they might actually have to hire enough people to actually do the job. Why hire 100 people with good work life balance, when you can hire 60 people that aren't allowed to have lives or families.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

60 ~~people~~ workers that aren’t allowed to have lives or families

I mean, that's what the AI will be for...

With all the rounds of layoffs they've had, their remaining employees would need to be quite stupid to give a shit what this disloyal piece trash says.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If it can be reached in 60 hour work weeks it can be reached in 40, but nah mfs should rush to get themselves replaced

[–] [email protected] 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If it can be reached in 60 hour work weeks, then it can be reached in 40 hour work weeks be hiring a second person.

If management isn't willing to put the effort in of hiring the required staff, why would I want to work the job of 2 people for 1 persons pay?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

IT project management doesn't work that way, but it doesn't matter much. 60 hour work weeks wouldn't help, either.

This is almost too depressing to be funny.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

Or, y'know, he could hire 50% more programmers / contractors, instead of overworking his current staff

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

There's an upper limit to how many bodies you can throw at a task.

9 women won't make a baby in one month.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

But you can make an average of 1 baby a month in 9 months with 9 woman. It's all about proper planning and budgeting over longer periods.

They talk about AGI like it's some kind of intrinsically benevolent messiah that is going to come along and free humanity of limitations rather than a product that is going to be monetised to make a few very rich people even richer

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

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?

I hope they tell him to get fucked.

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

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