I'm not an affiliate farmer, I've never made a cent off this account. I'm posting this because it's the single best software investment I've ever made.

1/ I went from 25 spam calls and hundreds of spam emails a week to zero. When I search my name across any search engine or LLM, I find nothing. The fix takes 10 minutes and runs autonomously to keep your footprint deleted.

2/ The receipts from the last 12 months:
• $15.9B lost to fraud in 2025 (record, up 430% since 2020)
• $20.9B total cybercrime losses, the highest ever
• The FBI started tracking AI fraud for the FIRST time: $893M

3/ Where do scammers get the raw material?
Data brokers. They quietly sell your name, address, phone, and family connections.
One Oct 2025 breach exposed ~2 BILLION email addresses pulled from brokers and malware.

4/ AI prospecting agents and AI scam agents run on the same fuel: your exposed personal data.
Block legit cold outreach all you want, you can't block what you can't see coming. The only real fix is to delete the source.

5/ That's what I did with @Optery. It scrubbed me from the broker networks and keeps re-scrubbing as they re-list me.
25 calls/week → 0. Hundreds of spam emails → 0. Search results → empty.

You have built an entire identity around being someone who could succeed if they tried. That identity is a warm blanket. Real action is a cold shower. When you finally attempt something, you risk losing the story that has comforted you for years. What if you try and discover you are average? What if you try and find no special talent? This is not fear of failure. This is fear of ordinariness. So you stay in the planning phase forever. You buy the notebook. You watch the tutorial. You tell friends your idea. Anxiety spikes whenever someone asks for a deadline. You are not protecting your future. You are protecting a fantasy that has already expired.

If you're happy, fulfilled, etc it's actually impossible to seriously hate on people and things as a passive spectator. Not even by accident. Like you legit have to try really hard and force yourself to kill your own vibe in order to temporarily occupy that loser state

Also why you should never entertain it if it happens to come your way either. Imagine being financially stable in a walkable city with the love of your life. You don't just slip up and say "oops didn't mean to spend my day saying snarky and passive aggressive things about all these people who don't even know I exist"

Someone has to be in dire straits to be acting like that so casually lol and there's nothing you can do about it other than feel sorry for them and pray they heal!

BREAKING: Iran’s militant and unyielding supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled the Islamic Republic for more than three decades and oversaw an era of harsh internal repression and confrontation with the United States and Israel, has died following the Israeli strike in Tehran, as his compound was reduced to rubble, a senior Israeli official told FOX News.

feels pretty pivotal, the CEO of a very large and impactful company cutting nearly half his workforce because AI tools have shown in their models to be better performing (and more importantly, the potential to be much greater)

[jack @jack]

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.
