Stripe says the singularity has arrived. Here's what they told investors about it.

Stripe executives, including John Collison and Patrick Collison, told investors the singularity is here. David Paul Morris/Bloomberg/Getty Images Stripe said the singularity, when AI surpasses human intelligence, has already arrived. Stripe executives told investors in a letter that it was already affecting their business. Other tech leaders have also said the singularity is here, but not everyone agrees. Stripe says the singularity already arrived — more than eight months ago. Executives at the payment processing giant told investors Wednesday in a letter obtained by Axios that they decided the singularity, roughly defined as the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, arrived at the start of 2026 and that they've been acting accordingly. "It's a fuzzy and perhaps already overworked term, but we decided that January 1st marked the beginning of the singularity, and we have since been operating on that basis," the letter said.
