— Jack Dorsey cut 4,000 of Block's 10,205 employees, explicitly attributing it to "intelligence tools changing what it means to run a company." He predicts "the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion" within a year. Block's stock surged 24%, validating the market's appetite for AI-driven headcount reduction. This is the most aggressive AI-attributed workforce reduction by a US public tech company to date. (CNN, CNBC)
