The loss of Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness, a hedge fund founded by a 24-year-old former OpenAI employee, has sold most or all of its public stock portfolio to Ken Griffin's Citadel. The fund, which focuses on artificial intelligence bets, has reportedly offloaded its entire portfolio, although the exact extent of the sale is unclear. The move is notable given the fund's name, which is being seen as ironic given the circumstances. Situational Awareness's decision to sell its portfolio has raised eyebrows, particularly in light of its name, which some view as a symbol of hubris.
