Jack Dorsey is pitching artificial intelligence as a replacement for middle managers in his reimagined view of how technology companies should function, weeks after Block Inc. announced it was cutting nearly half its staff. Dorsey outlined his thesis for the future of organizational structures in a blog post co-authored by Sequoia Capital partner Roelof Botha , arguing that AI could replace layers of management that traditionally coordinate work across companies. The post comes after Block said it was cutting about 4,000 employees in February, describing the decision as a bet on artificial intelligence changing the future of work, even as tech companies more broadly have been trimming roles following years of rapid hiring. “I don’t think we’re early to this realization,” Dorsey, the co-founder and chairman of Block, said at the time of the cuts. “I think most companies are late. Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.” Jack Dorsey’s Block Slashes Nearly Half Its Staff in AI Bet Artificial intelligence, Dorsey argues, can replace coordination functions that humans typically provide by relaying information through layers of management. Companies have long targeted middle management during downturns to cut costs and speed decision-making. The aim is to build a company “as an intelligence (or mini-AGI),” Dorsey writes. In this model, employees fall into three roles: individual contributors who build and operate systems; directly responsible individuals who own specific problems; and player-coaches who both build products and develop people, replacing traditional managers focused on coordination. Block argues it is well positioned to pursue this approach because it sits on both sides of millions of transactions - through Cash App and Square - giving it a real-time view of consumer and merchant behavior...

In Revolutionary Statement, Fidel Castro's Grandson Embraces "Capitalism With Sovereignty" What is awkward for Democrats and their left-wing activist network of politicians and dark-money funded nonprofits is that the latest CNN interview with Fidel Castro's grandson shattered years of left-wing America's weird obsession with Cuban communism . Sandro Castro told CNN's Patrick Oppmann that he would welcome a deal with President Trump and said many on the island want " capitalism with sovereignty ," a remarkable admission from deep inside the Castro family that Cuba's failed economic model is no longer the pathway for the Carribean island nation suffering from decades of economic collapse, and more recently, a completely collapsed power grid. Oppmann asked Castro: "And what would your grandfather, Fidel Castro, say if he knew that you're more capitalist than communist?" Castro responded: "My grandfather was a person who had his principles like everyone else. But as well he respected others' opinions. That's my way of thinking." Oppmann asked: "But all the capitalists left Cuba." Castro responded: " There are many people in Cuba that think in a capitalistic way. There are many people who want to do capitalism with sovereignty. I think the majority of Cubans want to be capitalist, not communist ." NEW: While drinking a beer, Fidel Castro's grandson says he is a capitalist and says if it were up to him, he would welcome a deal with President Trump during an interview with CNN.

Abstract Aerial Art JD Power presented its updated 2026 auto industry outlook today at the New York International Auto Show. One of the biggest takeaways from the industry research firm was that Americans are still buying cars, although the auto market is increasingly driven by buyers who can weather higher prices and gas costs. For the full year, JD Power maintained its forecast of 16.3M new-vehicle sales and pointed to continued strength in demand despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility. One of the key themes from the JD Power forecast is that the auto industry continues to demonstrate increased resilience, supported by more adaptive planning, diversified supply strategies, and improved operational flexibility. Those capabilities were noted to have strengthened the industry’s ability to respond effectively to shifting conditions. The firm warned that while demand remains strong, new vehicle affordability is still a barrier to higher vehicle sales. Average retail transaction prices are expected to rise 2.5% to $45,859 from a year ago. In aggregate, manufacturers’ incentive spend per vehicle is on track to reach $3,325, which is $165 higher than a year ago, suggesting that manufacturers still have more room to incentivize the purchase of new vehicles, per JD Power. "There is no doubt that the current situation in the Middle East will make things more difficult to predict over the near term, and the longer-term risks to auto sales are material, but the fundamentals are strong for a solid year in 2026," previewed JD Power's Thomas King. Looking ahead, the monthly and quarterly sales reports from automakers will be impacted by the comparison to a year ago that saw a surge of demand pulled forward by buyers to get ahead of the expiration of the EV tax credit on September 30, 2025. Auto stocks: Toyota ( TM ), Tesla ( TSLA ), General Motors ( GM ), Honda ( HMC ), Ferrari ( RACE ), Ford ( F ), Hyundai (HYMTF), Nissan ( NSANY ), Mercedes-Benz ( MBGAF ), Vo...
