That’s right AI is ushering in the wonderful age of human utopia: working 72 hours a week for a pervert
The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like β€œ996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.
Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week

The fact there is no maximum heat law for apartments in Ontario is a crime.

I have a colleague on the top floor of a GTA apartment with no air conditioning, windows that only open a smidgen and dealing with +30 heat and a wildfire induced breathing warning.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!
