I don't know if Sam Altman wants to discover that humans secretly enjoy revenge instead, but shortening the workweek will achieve that goal.
Literally my first thought when reading that headline
Almost correct. Being busy for ourselves instead of for Company™ to be more profitable.

There are things I secretly enjoy, but Sam Altman probably is better off not knowing what those are.
Then you telling him is a moral imperative.
I keep busy making widgets because I need the money to survive. If it were not for needing money to survive I would keep just as busy, but I'd be doing other things. This sam guy doesn't seem to posses even a basic understanding of logic.
