Dorsey restructures Block as AI-centered 'mini-AGI' after 40% layoffs▾

Jack Dorsey is aggressively transforming Block from a hierarchical organization into an intelligence-centered company where AI agents (Goose, Claude Code) handle information flow, reducing management layers from 5 to 2-3 and enabling every employee to query the company's world model in real time. He believes the company's limiting factor is its roadmap, and AI will let customers drive product development directly.
