shift, Silicon Valley artificial intelligence
startups are embracing China's controversial

employees if they are willing to commit to this
intense schedule, often citing the competitive
nature of the industry. Adrian Kinnersley, a
recruitment expert, notes that this expectation
is becoming increasingly common. While some founders
argue that the demanding hours are essential,
others caution against imposing them on all employees,
