How to Fire 4,000 People and Call it "Intelligence": The Jack Dorsey Blueprint 💸🤖
Tired of paying thousands of salaries and dealing with "human" problems? Just follow the Block Blueprint to reach the ultimate corporate zen:
Build a 10,000-person "Army": Scale your company until you hit a massive headcount. Let everyone feel safe and part of a "strong business" with growing profits.
Develop the "Replacement": Secretly build and integrate AI tools that can do the work of thousands. Call it "Innovation" while it's actually "Automation for Elimination."
Wait for the "Intelligence" Shift: Once your AI tools are sharp enough, realize that 4,000 humans are just "bloat" on your balance sheet.
The "Cold Start" Memo: Write a letter to the company. Tell them the business is "stronger than ever"—and then immediately tell 40% of them to pack their bags.
The "Human" Touch: Give them 20 weeks of pay and a $5,000 "transition" bonus. It makes the "AI takeover" look like a generous gift instead of a pink slip.
The "Awkward" Farewell: Keep Slack open for 48 hours so people can say goodbye to their avatars before you delete their digital existence forever.
The New Mantra: Announce that from now on, "Intelligence is at the core." Translation: "If you're not an algorithm or an elite operator, you're unnecessary."
The Final Step:
Sit back as your gross profit continues to grow with 40% less overhead. Watch the market celebrate your "efficiency" while 4,000 people update their LinkedIn profiles to "Open to Work."
Current Status: Block is now a "lean, mean, AI machine," and the rest of Silicon Valley is taking notes. Who needs a HR department when you have a well-tuned prompt?
Verdict: Jack Dorsey just proved that in 2026, the most expensive thing in tech isn't GPUs—it's human beings.
