JPMorgan Ends Lending After AI Fund Loses 67% — Sep 11, 2026JPMorgan ended its lending relationship with Situational Awareness, the AI-focused hedge fund founded by Leopold Aschenbrenner, after the fund suffered a 67% drop in July and faced a margin call that led to liquidating much of its public equity; other major banks remain lenders, illustrating a cautious stance by prime brokers toward highly leveraged AI-related bets. The move follows the fund’s heavy exposure to AI and semiconductor equities and underscores the risks of borrowed funding in concentrated, technology-focused strategies.

Fed Raises Rates, Signals Possible Further HikeFinance — 4dMinutes from the July FOMC meeting are viewed as a key gauge of the committee's appetite for a rate hike, with markets pricing roughly a 30% chance and several dissents among current voters highlighted.

The group is building a data flywheel around its 42dot unit, leveraging a fleet of more than 7 million annual vehicle sales to continuously collect real-world data, train AI with edge-case focus, and integrate improvements into vehicles, while pursuing broader autonomy milestones including a late-2020s pilot and safety-focused validation.

Tom Gallagher Their focus on safety validation before wider rollout is the right priority even if it means lagging Tesla on timelines.
