Jack Dorsey, the zen-bearded tech prophet who once tweeted himself into billionaire status, just yeeted nearly 4,000 employees from Block Inc. because AI apparently makes humans “obsolete” faster than you can say “blockchain.” In a classic rambling X thread, he insisted the company’s thriving—it’s just that fancy intelligence tools plus tiny teams are the new vibe, so sorry about your mortgage. Critics called it treating people like Excel typos; Dorsey basically shrugged and predicted everyone else will copy-paste the bloodbath soon. Must be nice to fire half your staff while wearing tie-dye.
