Fortune March 17: Zuckerberg Next in Line to Follow Dorsey's AI Workforce Reset — Block's Goose Agent Open-Sourced After 40% Layoffs

Fortune·high signal

Fortune published a March 17 piece positioning Zuckerberg as the next CEO to execute a Block-style AI-driven workforce reduction after Dorsey cut 4,000 jobs (40%) and attributed it directly to 18 months of internal agent deployment. Block's internal coding and operations agent 'Goose' has been open-sourced, giving developers direct access to the architecture behind one of the first enterprise-scale AI headcount replacements. The Fortune piece frames this as an emerging CEO playbook rather than an isolated event.
