A 25 year old just turned $225 million into $5.5 billion in 12 months. Here’s exactly what he bought. Leopold Aschenbrenner got fired from OpenAI in April 2024. He spent the next few months writing a 165-page thesis predicting AGI by 2027. Then he launched a fund and put his money where his thesis was. He bought zero Nvidia. Zero Microsoft. Zero Google. Zero Amazon. He bought what AI actually runs on. Bloom Energy (BE), power infrastructure for data centers. Up 1,422% in one year. Lumentum (LITE), optical components that move data between chips. Up 1,331%. Sandisk (SNDK), storage. Up 3,130%. CoreWeave (CRWV), GPU cloud infrastructure. Up 166%. Iris Energy (IREN), AI computing and data centers. Up 583%. The thesis was simple: every AI company needs energy, bandwidth, storage, and compute. Nobody was buying those. Everyone was buying the AI companies themselves. He was right. His fund now manages $6 billion. Backed by Patrick and John Collison of Stripe and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. I’m adding this to my watchlist.

Howard Marks runs Oaktree, a $120 billion+ firm built on distressed debt, has been writing the memos Warren Buffett opens first for over thirty years, and just changed his mind on AI after a single conversation with Claude — we got into where the $10 bill nobody has picked up is hiding right now, why he picked debt over equity for an entire career, and why the herd is almost always wrong. Full episode drops soon. @Oaktree

The UAE leaving OPEC is a geopolitical fracture in the old energy order. For decades, OPEC behaved like a cartel that could sit in a room, control supply, manage prices and force the world to adjust. That power came from one thing: discipline. Members had to believe that staying inside the cartel was more valuable than breaking away from it. Founded in Baghdad, first headquartered in Geneva, and later moved to Vienna, OPEC was very OPAQUE - like an old-world diplomatic club. The UAE has now challenged that very assumption. This is a country that has invested heavily in expanding capacity, building global relevance and positioning itself as a modern energy power. Why would it continue allowing quota politics to decide how much of its own ambition it is permitted to use? The real story here is about national interest and global politics and the Iran War finally bringing the wedge within OPEC out in the open. OPEC’s weakness has been visible for years: American pressure, internal rivalries, changing energy priorities, and producers increasingly unwilling to sacrifice their own growth for collective theatre. The UAE exit does not create the crack. It exposes how deep the crack already was. For Washington, a weaker OPEC is not bad news on paper. America has spent years resenting cartel-driven oil shocks, price manipulation and the ability of producer blocs to weaponise energy against consumers. A fractured OPEC means less coordinated pressure on global prices and less monopoly-style leverage over the West. But America will also know this is not a simple victory. A weaker cartel can mean cheaper oil in one cycle, but more volatility in the next. But a cartel's slow death definitely begins when members stop fearing life outside it. And with the UAE walking out, OPEC has just been told that the old oil club no longer controls the psychology of power.
