Andy TsengNever thought experimenting with AI tools was akin to gambling - until now. Endless time sunk into trialing tools, no payout, and often a stack of regrets. Knowing when to stop isn’t just wise, it’s survival!

😳 Some Silicon Valley AI startups are now expecting employees to work 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week—72 hours a week—emulating China’s controversial 996 culture. That’s a heck of a turnaround for an industry known for flexibility. Firms are chasing hyper‑growth and trying to outpace Chinese rivals and workers face legal risk, ethics dilemmas, and burnout that may erode long term innovation and inclusion. ⏰
TL;DR
🕒 72‑hour weekly schedule gaining traction
⚖️ Many firms likely violating labor laws
🧠 Burnout and health risks mounting
🌍 Ethical contradiction in AI culture

Steve RudolfiI woke up this morning from an awful anxiety dream about & with situations & people from my former employment.
Considering I still get similar anxiety dreams from my 3 years of working at Subway during college...
This is going to be a LONG road to recovering from the complete and utter burnout from my past 11 years with that former employment.

I've also been toying with the idea of writing a blog post about my experience, but don't know where to start.
