Eric Schmidt Says Google Is Falling Behind on AI—And Remote Work Is Why.

LOL, remote work doesn’t have jack shit to do with why Google is behind in AI. Most remote staff work longer hours and are more available than prior to that inflection point. I know I certainly do and am. And have observed this with my own staff. Also the fact that I am and they are more productive. This is especially true if you don’t define “productive” as many managers do — i.e., “I can ask an inane question I’ve already asked 500 times for the 501st time and get an answer right away.”

That sort of nonsense makes inferior managers feel productive but is not achieving anything other than wasting time and destroying actual productivity.
