This is INSANE At 19, Leopold Aschenbrenner was the valedictorian of Columbia. At 22, he was helping lead OpenAI’s Superalignment team. By 23, he was fired for raising safety concerns and published a viral manifesto on the path to AGI. Now, at 24, he’s running Situational Awareness LP, one of the most aggressive hedge funds in the AI space. In just one year, he scaled the fund from $225 million to over $5.5 billion in equity exposure. His secret? He’s betting on the megawatts. And his biggest bet? Bloom Energy ($BE). While the world was focused on chips, Leopold realized AI needs massive amounts of electricity. He built a massive stake in Bloom Energy, which just yesterday surged 24% after a deal with Oracle, turning a nearly $800M position into a $2.2B win. He also owns massive stakes in Core Scientific and other former Bitcoin miners, betting they have the plugs AI needs to grow. Silicon Valley royalty like the Collison brothers, Nat Friedman, and Daniel Gross are backing him. He’s no longer just a researcher but rather the architect of the AI infrastructure trade. Keep your eyes on the grid.

At 14 years old, Leopold Aschenbrenner walked into a room full of adults and told them they were fighting the wrong war He stood in front of a room full of Green Party adults and said: "47% of jobs will be automated in the next 20 years. The working class is already collapsing. You're debating inheritance taxes." He demanded Universal Basic Income and they smiled at the kid and moved on So he stopped waiting for permission: • Columbia University's valedictorian at 19 • OpenAI at 21 • Fired for telling them AGI was coming fast • Built a $20B AI hedge fund They doubted him then and now that Citadel bought his book, they're doubting him again Doubting Leopold has never worked out

🎰 The Man Who Lost $350,000,000 in Vegas Terry Watanabe’s dad arrived in America from Japan with next to nothing. Built a party supplies business in Omaha. Terry took it over at 20 and spent 25 years turning it into a $500 million empire. Then he sold it in 2000 and had more money than he knew what to do with. Then he found Vegas. In 2007 alone he put $825 million through the tables at Caesars Palace. Lost $350 million over the course of his time there. At his peak he was burning through $5 million a day. He was 5.6% of Caesars Palace’s entire annual Las Vegas revenue. What nobody knew at the time, including Terry himself, was that he had undiagnosed bipolar disorder. He later claimed the casino was giving him prescription painkillers he had no prescription for. Keeping him sedated and keeping him at the table. The Nevada Gaming Commission eventually fined Caesars for letting him gamble while visibly out of it. His sister flew out one Thanksgiving, took one look at him, and brought him home. Criminal charges followed. Rehab. Years of legal battles. He settled. Terms were never made public. He now lives on Social Security, and recently had to crowdfund his cancer treatment.

Saddened to hear of the passing of TJ Cirincione…TJ, “The Shot Doctor” was one of a kind, he truly loved our great game and all coaches…and he knew them all! I first met TJ while rooming with him at the infamous Pocono Invitational Basketball Camp in the Pocono Mountains. He later worked our summer camps at California University of Pa and Robert Morris College. We annually visited at the Final Four, and stayed in touch through the years. He always knew about our Teams and the year we had just completed. TJ loved basketball, he loved coaches and he will be greatly missed by many! #TheShotDoctor

The psychologist John Money oversaw the case and incorrectly reported the reassignment as successful and as evidence that gender identity is primarily learned. The academic sexologist Milton Diamond later reported that Reimer's realization that he was not a girl occurred between the ages of 9 and 11 years[2] and that he was living as a male by the age of 15. Well known in medical circles for years anonymously as the "John/Joan" case, Reimer later went public with his story to help discourage similar medical practices. He killed himself at age 38, two days after separating from his wife.

Now the connection between Leopold and Sam Bankman-Fried is kinda insane lore. Right after college he worked at FTX Future Fund and was in charge of deploying billions of dollars for the effective altruist movement. Developing a theory that EA ideology is very good for making billions but maybe not so good for risk management.

The man who invented modern fantasy didn't publish his first novel until he was forty-five. By that age, J.R.R. Tolkien had already built a respectable life. He was an Oxford professor, an expert in ancient languages, with a wife and four children and a settled academic career. He was exactly the kind of man who might reasonably have decided that the shape of his life was already fixed. The work he would be remembered for, he had not yet even begun... The story, which Tolkien told himself, is that one summer he was grading examination papers, when he turned a page and found that a student had left it blank. Without quite knowing why, he wrote a single sentence on it: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." He did not know what a hobbit was. He had spent years inventing languages and mythologies as a private passion, and telling stories to his own children, never imagining any of it would reach the world. But that one line began to grow. It became a story, and then a book, and in 1937, at the age of forty-five, Tolkien published The Hobbit. It was a success, and his publisher asked for a sequel. Tolkien warned them it might take some time. It took 17 years... He wrote it in the margins of a demanding full-time job, revising endlessly, doubting it often. When The Lord of the Rings was finally published, in 1954 and 1955, he was in his early sixties. That book, begun as a middle-aged professor's private side project, went on to sell well over a hundred million copies, to invent modern fantasy as we know it, and to reshape the imagination of the entire world. Tolkien already had a full and respectable life behind him. And still, the thing he is remembered for, the thing that outlived him and reached hundreds of millions of people, was something he began at forty-five, at an age when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to tell himself he had already missed his chance. He didn't. It's never as late as it feels.

Charlie Kirk was shot on a Wednesday, Tyler arrived to the university at 8:39am. The University would have been packed with student walking to class all over the campus. How did no one see him scouting the rooftops? How did he know Charlie would be setup in a location that he would give him a clear line of sight? He retrieved the gun at 12:15, made it to the prone position at 12:22, then took the shot at 12:33? Some how he also assembled his rifle and disassembled his rifle and that exact same period of time?

Bill Clinton has always had bad behavior, Paula Jones sued him for his actions with her. Shouldn’t surprise us that he was close friends with Epstein. This is someone that worked with Bill and Hillary telling what he saw. “I was literally working, sitting in the middle of Bill Clinton's political machine. It was where he made payoffs, where he repaid favors to people for campaign support. I was in an interesting seat and I knew it. In that particular board meeting, I was sitting at the end of the table. James Brannion, who was chairman of the board at that time, was sitting at the head of the table. James Brannion stood up in a public restaurant and he hollered at Beverly Enterprises guy, Bobby Stevens, and said, did you get the $50,000 campaign contribution from the client that you're introducing the loan for? He said, not yet. He said, well then hold up the loan until we get it.

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career. He made it very clear how he felt about the press. Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films. Now you can see it.

Tupac was a performer through and through. At his core, he was an actor, a poet, and a thinker—not a gangster. Sure, he rapped about the streets and the struggles that came with them, but that was more about telling the stories of the people around him than living that life himself. He had the smarts and the charisma to pull people in, whether it was on stage, on screen, or in his music. He trained at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he honed his craft, showing he was born to entertain. The "gangster" image? That was more about the industry and the media pushing a narrative than who Tupac really was at heart. Tupac was an artist first, using his voice and talent to speak for the people, share their pain, and make you feel something. He wasn’t about the gangster life—he was about the art and the message.

“I Was First in Line… My Wife is Pregnant” Railway Staff Took ₹500 Bribe & Gave Ticket to Someone Else... His wife is pregnant, he needed to go home urgently… He was first in the queue, but the woman sitting at the counter took ₹500 and gave the ticket to someone else. A man had been struggling for two days to get a ticket at the railway Tatkal counter. His pregnant wife was waiting at home. He was right at the front of the line. It is alleged that the female staff at the counter was taking ₹500 each from some people and issuing them tickets out of turn. When the man protested, an argument broke out. He was insulted, an attempt was made to snatch his phone, and he was even threatened: “I’ll have you locked up.” The excuse of a wrong OTP was also used.

Two days after he was fired as head football coach at the University of Michigan, Sherrone Moore was charged Friday in connection with the home invasion and stalking of a staff member with whom he allegedly had an "intimate relationship." Ten days before Moore was fired, a former Michigan football player wrote about the alleged affair in a viral post on social media. CBS News' Jericka Duncan spoke to that man, Robert Carian, about why he exposed the alleged affair, which he said was known about and covered up by the school's football department.

Two days ago I stumbled upon this guy’s video. At first, it was very alarming, as he was claiming that he is a food delivery driver while spitting in the food and drinks of Trump supporters. After looking at his page, I came to the conclusion that he is desperate for clicks and views. He just started his page, and in his other videos he mocked both leftists and conservatives. I’m uploading both of his videos, including the second one where he says he got “fired” from his food delivery job. I didn’t post about him before because he is a troll and a TikTok clown, but I see a lot of people are sharing his video as if it were true.

Taroha has developed a new habit: he finishes his first milk bottle and puts it down normally. He finishes his second – and walks away with it clasped in his trunk. When a Keeper tries to get it back, he runs! His enthusiasm is the same as it was in May 2024 (listen for that rumble at the end!). Taroha came to us by way of a JCB bucket. He had been found alone on the shores of Lake Jipe and it was the only vehicle rescuers had access to at the time. By the time he arrived at our Nairobi Nursery, his journey had included an overnight stay at our Voi Unit and a flight aboard an aeroplane. But he was safe, and with his new family:

The man who wrote the essay that started the entire AI boom just got DESTROYED by it. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of America teamed up to liquidate their own client overnight. Leopold Aschenbrenner left OpenAI in 2024 and published an essay called "Situational Awareness" arguing that AGI was arriving before the decade was out, and that whoever owned the compute would own everything after it. Silicon Valley read it and started spending. Then he raised a fund named after the essay and bet on his own thesis with borrowed money. The numbers he put up were the best on Wall Street: He started with roughly $225 million in late 2024. Patrick and John Collison wrote checks. So did Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and Jane Street. Through June 30 of this year the fund was up 439% net of fees, according to the investor letter the Financial Times reviewed. The firm had a handful of employees, and he had no prior record managing anyone's money. It also ran leverage reported as high as 4x. For every dollar of his own capital he borrowed three or four more, then bought the physical guts of the AI buildout. He owned Micron, SanDisk, CoreWeave, Nebius, and SK Hynix. In July every one of those names fell somewhere between 27% and 54%. The Kospi, home to SK Hynix, lost about a third of its value. His collateral and his position were the same thing. The stocks fell, the loans against them came due, and selling to cover those loans pushed the stocks down again. The fund finished July down 67%. But the UGLY part happened in the six days before that... On July 24 he wrote to his investors and called the selloff some of the most attractive opportunities since early 2025. He invited them to commit fresh capital, with a deadline of August 1. That deadline is today. Six days after asking for more money, he was margin called by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America. He spent Wednesday trying to sell anything that would move. Millennium looked at the positions and passed. Jane Street looked and passed, and Jane Street was an investor in his own fund. Late that night he agreed to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic shares to a group led by Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital. The Collison brothers sat in his offices while he negotiated past midnight. Then Ken Griffin called... Before Thursday's open, Citadel bought the bulk of the public portfolio at more than 10% below market value. The same prime brokers squeezing him for cash, Goldman, JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup, helped arrange the trade that bailed him out. He used Griffin's money to pay off his lenders. And Thursday morning he walked away from the Anthropic deal. So he sold every asset that had a public price, at a discount, and kept the one asset that gets valued by whatever the last funding round said it was worth. The fund survived with about $10 billion. The Anthropic stake inside it is carried at $5 billion, off a May round that valued the company at $965 billion. No open market has ever tested that number. Anthropic could list as soon as October, and Aschenbrenner is now running a fund whose value rests almost entirely on that one line. His letter to investors blamed short sellers. What happens next: The fund is still up roughly 80% for the year, which is why half of finance spent the weekend defending him. But the other half noticed that a manager with no prior fund record ran a 4x levered book into the most telegraphed drawdown of the cycle and had to hand the whole thing to Ken Griffin before sunrise. The public book got a real price on Thursday morning. The private mark is still waiting for October. What do you think?
