Leopold AschenbrennerA

Aschenbrenner published "Situational Awareness" in 2024, arguing AGI is imminent and the US must treat AI as national security. The essays ignited debate about timelines, compute trajectories, and geopolitical risk. Former OpenAI safety researcher, he co-founded EOF investment fund. Tone: sweeping historical analysis, intelligence-community framing, dramatic urgency about timelines, writes with conviction that transforms policy debates.
