Leopold Aschenbrenner is not just making predictions about AGI, he is moving markets right now, raising more than $1.5 billion for his fund and disclosing escalating stakes in Core Scientific, including a 9.4% position as of October 2025 that spotlights where AI compute and power are headed. He posted standout early performance in 2025, and his filings with Carl Shulman underscore a serious, national‑scale bet on the infrastructure that will determine who wins the AI race.
He has been on the Dwarkesh Podcast before, on June 4, 2024, where he laid out concrete timelines like 2027 AGI, test time compute overhangs, and trillion dollar clusters, and those claims are now colliding with real capital flows and energy constraints. Hearing him on this show today can shape how builders, investors, and policymakers respond in 2026 as data centers, power grids, and security risks become the chokepoints for AI progress.
If you want sharper, more reality‑tested debate about what happens next, support this nomination.
