Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one global scale.

Citadel has entered into a deal with Situational Awareness after the AI investment fund experienced a significant decline. A letter indicates that the portfolio of Situational Awareness sank 67 percent in July due to a rout in AI stocks. Following this drop, the fund had to sell most of its holdings. Some investors suggest that the deal with Citadel helped reassure jittery traders in tech stocks and helped stem a 3 trillion dollar AI rout. Leopold Aschenbrenner is described as the AI investment prodigy who led the fund.
