How a $30B Hedge Fund Implosion Will Effect AI

From the creator

OpenAI and Anthropic reported jaw‑dropping ARR growth, signaling surging token demand and a shift from seat‑based to consumption‑based business models. Hyperscaler capex and off‑balance‑sheet data‑center debt expose financing risks without mirroring 2008 systemic mechanisms. The collapse of the highly leveraged hedge fund Situational Awareness and Citadel’s takeover show how leverage and forced selling can amplify market moves while long‑term AI demand persists.
