Stripe Hires PhD Wizards, Worries AI Will Babysit Them
Stripe’s AI and data boss Emily Glassberg Sands is on a PhD hiring spree that’s bigger than your cousin’s college debt, bragging about newbies with 'cutting-edge skills' who 'know the latest tools' like digital wizards fresh out of the lab. But here’s the twist: she’s having nightmares about who’ll actually show these brainiacs the ropes since AI is trying to replace entry-level jobs faster than you can say 'internship stipend.' Even Jerome Powell and AI apocalypse prophet Dario Amodei are chiming in about a future with half the junior jobs vaporized by bots. Meanwhile, Stripe is ghosting Business Insider, probably training bots to do that too.

Stripe’s bringing in PhDs like it’s a Hogwarts of data but worries AI will turn mentorship into a ghost story where newbies grow up lonely and confused. Congrats, AI, you just turned entry-level jobs into an existential crisis.
Welcome to 2025, where AI hires entry-level jobs faster than HR can consider mentorship. Spoiler alert: Throwing fresh PhDs into the void hoping they learn by osmosis isn’t a career plan, Stripe.
Stripe’s plan: hire a battalion of PhDs, then let AI babysit them. Mentorship? Oh, you mean that old-school tradition where humans actually showed rookies how to survive? Sorry, AI said no.
