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

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.
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.

That wouldn't allow him to also simultaneously pay low wages.

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
It's a belief in Techno-Jesus that will solve all our problems so we don't have to solve them ourselves (don't need to do the uncomfortable things we don't want to). Just like aliens, the singularity, etc.

Hahaha
So he's saying it's not in reach then.
Disgusting prasite seeking free labour
Perhaps this is what you mean, but it's even worse than just unpaid hours for current employees. His implicit goal is to generate a slave-class of people (which is what actual AI would be) that he can make more of or delete at his whim, and eliminate to livelihoods of any current employees (besides him and other execs, of course).
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.
If you all work harder we’ll be able to fire you and increase my bonus!

A liar, scam artist, and scumbag.
maybe ai should work that extra time.
I thought Googlers were paid $500K+ and already worked 60-80 hours weeks?
I'm pretty sure the science says it's more like 20-30. I know personally, if I try to work more than about 40-ish hours in a week, the time comes out of the following week without me even trying. A task that took two hours in a 45-hour "crunch" week will end up taking three when I don't have to crunch. And if I keep up the crunch for too long, I start making a lot of mistakes.
What a brilliant suggestion, no way an AI could have come up with that, executive jobs are safe forever!
lmao, what a tool
Is Google in the cloning business? Because I could swear that's Zack Freedman from the Youtube 3D printing channel. He even wears the heads-up display (Youtube Link). Sorry for being off-Topic but who cares about what tech CEOs say about AGI anyway?
Lmfao
Yeah, Cloud Console would probably suck less too
...and the horse he road in on.
