The so-called “Nostradamus of AI,” Leopold Aschenbrenner, has made a new $400 million bet on a private company – just days after the near-implosion of his hedge fund, according to a report. Aschenbrenner’s firm, Situational Awareness, had poured $100 million into the same company last month, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The outlet said the company was part of Situational Awareness’s existing portfolio, though it was unclear which firm received the infusion.
