AI browser agent company Browser Use posted on X promoting their team's 996 work schedule (9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week) and used the opportunity to launch "Porsche 996" merchandise. This sparked a massive community backlash, with critics condemning the move for bringing the worst work culture to the US and glamorizing it, arguing that aggressively hyping "hard work" is often just lip service.
