An xAI techie has sparked a massive debate over workplace culture after revealing he worked for 19 hours straight.
Taking to social media, he shared that this was his longest shift at Elon Musk's AI firm so far, adding that he had "never felt more alive".
While the post was intended to showcase his dedication, it quickly drew criticism from social media users who questioned the health implications of such extreme hours.
Many users were quick to provide a reality check, pointing out that working nearly 20 hours "is not a flex."
Giri Kuncoro, the techie, wrote, "It's 5:30 am. Just closed my laptop after 19 hours of work today—my longest at xAI so far," he added, "I've never felt more alive."
Elon Musk is well-known for his "extremely hardcore" approach to work, advocating for a baseline of 80 to 100 hours per week to achieve extraordinary results.
Kuncoro, an engineer working on xAI, focuses on cloud native infrastructure for AI workloads and LLM serving.
