CEO of $8 billion AI company says he’s ‘mind boggled’ that people think you can work 38 hours a week, have work-life balance, and be successful

Andrew Feldman, cofounder of the $8 billion AI company Cerebras, has sparked controversy by stating that aspiring entrepreneurs must work 'every waking minute' to achieve success. This statement echoes sentiments from other tech leaders like Eric Yuan and Reid Hoffman, who have similarly downplayed the importance of work-life balance. Feldman's remarks raise concerns about the unrealistic expectations placed on individuals in the startup world, highlighting a growing debate about the sustainability of such a work ethic and its impact on mental health.
