Predictor: Leopold Aschenbrenner
Prediction text
Capital should rotate FROM software developers TO data-center compute, power infrastructure, semi supply chains, and repurposed Bitcoin mining facilities. | Next Situational Awareness LP quarterly letter
Key catalyst: Next Situational Awareness LP quarterly letter
Watch events: Data-center REIT performance vs. NVDA; repurposed Bitcoin-mining facility M&A
Resolution evidence
Fund letter Q4 2025: reduced pure-silicon exposure (NVDA, AMD), increased positions in data-center REITs, utility IPPs, transformer OEMs, and repurposed crypto-mining facility operators.
Predictor: Leopold Aschenbrenner
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Leopold Aschenbrenner is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
