    AI Hedge Fund's Dramatic Fall: Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness

    Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, founded the AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness in 2024. The fund, once valued at $45 billion, was forced to sell most of its public equity holdings to Citadel after experiencing significant losses in AI-related positions. Aschenbrenner, who gained prominence for his 165-page essay on AI's future, had built the fund on the thesis that AI would quickly transform the economy.
