This is a classic Sergey snark. He is basically saying that number is 60 not 40. (Also diminishing returns does not usually imply "net negative" but less ROI on the marginal hour you put in.)

Point is, Google seems to be somewhat trying to get back their mojo and get rid of their retirement home reputation, at least as far as their AI products are concerned.

I am sure entitled googlers will be vocal though.

Nothing snarky about a guy worth $100 billion telling his minions that they should work for 60 hours per week, instead of the usual 40. Maybe he should remember from what country his parents came and what happened to the billionaires there.

I get you don't like the policy (assuming it is even the official policy.) How's this related to having an excited team working on an important project? Are you suggesting there is something wrong with people who work hard on a mission they believe in? How does this tie fates of Russian billionaires in any shape or form? Are Gemini googlers revolting?

They became the oligarchs that now run the country? These days it seems America is pursuing the same dream.

Yeah, the article is literally about an entitled googler being vocal.

Man worth 100+ Billion complains he should be worth more, and that the grunts should have to make him worth more at all costs.

How is anyone who doesn't want to do that entitled?
