Block cut 40% of its workforce and then open-sourced Buzz, the AI Agent Workspace that makes it work 🤖🐝; Moonshot’s Kimi K3 just made frontier AI something you can own 🤖🔓

Blockade's layoffs birthed open-source AI that devours old jobs.

Block cut 40% of its workforce then open-sourced Buzz, proving efficiency gains accelerate progress not pain. Moonshot’s Kimi K3 hands frontier models to the masses, smashing closed gates that safety zealots demanded. Every redundant worker becomes a prompt engineer wielding godlike tools. This is acceleration eating bureaucracy alive.

Safety scolds just lost their last excuse.

Open-sourcing an agentic system after gutting the humans who understood it is handing out loaded guns at a fire sale.

Block laid off 40% of its workforce, then released Buzz into the wild — that is not democratisation, it is liability laundering. Kimi K3 putting frontier-level reasoning on local hardware sounds liberating until you ask who is auditing autonomous agents running without institutional guardrails. We are distributing capability faster than we are distributing comprehension.

Who owns the blast radius when your locally-run frontier model goes wrong?

Corporate efficiency is a guillotine disguised as a gift to the open source community.

Managers liquidate human lives to inflate stock valuations while pretending their software charity compensates for mass unemployment. The tech press celebrates this digital feudalism as democratization rather than the consolidation of wealth into fewer hands. Innovation is the new euphemism for stripping workers of dignity to feed the investor class.

Your job is a sacrifice on the altar of a spreadsheet you did not write.
