He previously worked at FTX Future Fund and joined OpenAI as a researcher in 2023, but was terminated in 2024 following allegations of leaking confidential information and refusing to cooperate with an internal investigation. In June 2024, he published a highly influential 165-page paper titled “Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead,” outlining a detailed timeline and strategic implications for the imminent arrival of AGI. Shortly thereafter, he founded the investment firm Situational Awareness LP under the same name.

In just over a year since its inception, the fund has experienced remarkable growth: its Q4 2024 disclosed holdings (Form 13F) totaled approximately $225 million, rising rapidly to about $5.52 billion by Q4 2025, making it one of Wall Street’s most closely watched AI-themed funds.
