Jack Dorsey is really betting big on AI. So much so, the tech CEO announced his company Block (formerly Square) is cutting 40% of its workforce – from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000 – despite strong, growing profits. The reason?

The Pentagon asked Boeing and Lockheed Martin on Wednesday to assess their reliance on Anthropic's AI model, Claude, as it prepares for a potential "supply chain risk" designation.
