😳 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

A #Startup is Selling Data #Hacked from Peoples’ Computers to Debt Collectors

A private intelligence company run by a young founder is now taking that hacked data from what it says are more than 50 million computers, and reselling it for profit to a wide range of different industries, including debt collectors; couples in divorce proceedings; and even companies looking to poach their rivals’ customers.

When I was working on arkaine (arkaine.dev) I started building small prokects to demonstrate how to use the framework.

One such project was an AI practice interviewer, utilizing my Internet research agents to deep dive into the individuals resume, industry, and tech/skills mentioned in the job listing.

After completing the prototype I realized it was actually quite good, so I began turning it into a product to help people.

HiredCoach - coming soon.

Today I finished up some longer UI and did some infra work. The hope is a beta test next week.
