Jack Dorsey's Block just slashed nearly half its workforce, and he's warning other companies they're next. UK advertising giant WPP is targeting hundreds of millions in savings, explicitly blaming AI for reshaping their industry. Google dropped a major free image generation upgrade that rivals tools previously locked behind a paywall, while also pulling its robotics venture back under the main Google umbrella. Microsoft previewed a new AI system designed to handle background tasks inside corporations while you focus on other work. And Burger King is now deploying an AI chatbot in employee headsets that listens for friendliness cues — and reports back to management. Workers' rights groups are already sounding the alarm.
