An AI hedge fund called Situational Awareness, founded by a former OpenAI researcher, was forced to sell its public stock portfolio after leveraged bets went bad. The fund had borrowed heavily to amplify returns, but market moves turned against it. However, the fund still holds private shares in Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude. The value of those shares could offset losses or even turn a profit if Anthropic continues to grow.
Tech is evolution. This story proves it. A hedge fund run by AI loses money in public markets. That's not the end. It's a pivot. The real treasure was never in public stocks. It was in private AI companies. Anthropic shares are the new gold. Why? Because AI understands AI better than humans do. The fund's AI saw Anthropic's potential before the rest of us. That's not a bug. It's a feature.
We're moving to a world where AI manages resources. Yes, there will be losses. But the winners will be the ones who bet on the right AI. This fund did. It bet on Anthropic. That bet is now its lifeline. The future belongs to those who invest in the creators of intelligence. Not in old-world stocks. This is just the beginning.
