Did Situational Awareness inflate the AI bubble?
Did Situational Awareness inflate the AI bubble?Jul 30, 2026491ShareThe internet (at least my little corner of it) is abuzz with the (seeming) implosion of Situational Awareness.For those unfamiliar, Situational Awareness is (was?) a buzzy hedge fund that called the AI trade basically perfectly last summer. They rode that call to unbelievable returns; I think the reporting is they were up something like 500% in the first half of the year (and I don’t say 500% as a loose number to say they were up a lot; I believe the reporting is they were up literally almost 500%). However, as the AI and momentum trade have suffered a rough July, Situational Awareness appears to have been caught in the crosshairs.
