This is a peaceful path to global conquest. It is warmongering posture that promotes this workaround, and enslaving people to domestic tech oligarchy is an inherently negative consequence of warmongering. A world at war means AI/tech helping war and disinformation instead of making work/life more productive.

Didn’t see any specifics around hours in the article though.

Is it twice the pay for twice the working hours? 996 or whatever they call it?

Several companies like TikTok still work similar to this. Culturally, I doubt it’ll stop any time soon

From what I’ve read about working at Chinese tech companies, you will not get to work remotely. In fact, you will be required to work in an office for 10 hrs a day instead of coming and going as you please.

Just look at the TSMC factory in AZ as an example. Taiwanese work expectations are not very compatible with how top US talent wants to work.

Agreed, I wasn’t exactly sure how well it would translate countries, but it was the first solid thing that came to mind.

They’re a big believer in 996, so 9am to 9pm, six days a week. Sadly, this is creeping into western tech too, but is commonplace in China.
