The first time, the entire El Paso airport had to be temporarily shut down.

Critics say the incident show a communication breakdown inside the government.

And yesterday's use of the laser may underscore that further because The Times has learned that the drone the Pentagon shot down was a U.S.

government drone.

Four people who were not authorized to speak publicly said it was from the Department of Homeland Security.

It's not clear what the military thought it was aiming at, though federal officials have said that drug cartels have flown tens of thousands of drones near the border in recent years.

The FAA, Defense Department, and Customs and Border Protection issued a joint statement saying they would, quote, continue to work on increased cooperation and communication to prevent such incidents in the future.

In Silicon Valley yesterday, there was one of the clearest signs yet of how artificial intelligence is set to radically upend the American workforce.

The financial technology company Block, which owns Cash App, the streaming service Tidal, and Square, the card payment system you see at stores across the country, announced it's cutting roughly 4,000 jobs.

That's 40% of the company.

The top executive, Jack Dorsey, said it's because AI has allowed the company to do its work with fewer employees.

He added, quote, Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes.

Across the tech industry, AI coding tools are already starting to be able to automate a wide range of tasks.

After announcing the cuts, Dorsey held a virtual town hall with the company's employees.

Participants flooded the screen with thumbs-down emojis, according to two people who were on the call.

And one employee confronted Dorsey about why he'd chosen to show up that day wearing a black hat that said love on it.

Despite the widespread anger inside the company, in after-hours trading yesterday, Block's share price jumped more than 26%.

And finally, the billion-dollar Hollywood drama that is the fight to buy Warner Bros.

has a new twist.

The whole thing has basically been a messy love triangle.
