Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks
Briefly

Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, is urging employees to return to the office five days a week to foster productivity in the blossoming AI sector. In a memo, he recommends staff aim for a demanding 60 hours of work weekly to gain an edge in the AI race. Brin believes that the synergy among Google's talented workforce, coupled with the use of in-house AI tools like Gemini, is crucial for achieving breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, aiming toward the elusive goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, despite Brin's push, current policies remain hybrid with no immediate changes announced.
Brin emphasizes the need for Googlers to work 60 hours weekly, equating this to the 'sweet spot of productivity' essential for advancing AI efforts.
He believes Google's strong programming and data science teams are well-positioned for AI breakthroughs, suggesting they should maximize the use of their Gemini AI tools.
