The paper made him a star in AI circles, and he used that credibility to launch a hedge fund with the same name. He had no trading experience, and still raised $100 million by the end of 2024. He turned it into billions betting big on AI stocks. Then his core positions cratered in an AI stock downdraft, and lenders including Goldman Sachs issued margin calls.
