Readers of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings(《指环王》，托尔金奇幻史诗)” trilogy meet Frodo Baggins, its hero, when he is still in his tweens(青少年初期，约10-12岁). This, Tolkien explains, is what hobbits call “the irresponsible twenties between childhood and coming-of-age(成年，成熟) at 33”. So Frodo’s cousin Bilbo waits until he has reached this ripe age before giving him a ring with the power, it turns out, to conquer the world.
J.R.R.托尔金《指环王》三部曲的读者在主人公佛罗多·巴金斯还不到二十岁时就认识了他。托尔金解释说，这就是霍比特人所谓的“从童年到33岁成年之间不负责任的二十多岁”。因此，佛罗多的表亲比尔博一直等到他到了这个成熟的年龄，才把一枚戒指交给他——这枚戒指后来被证明拥有征服世界的力量。
Any investor who entrusted(委托，托付) Leopold Aschenbrenner with their money and is now cross with him should take note(注意，留意). Mr Aschenbrenner is in his mid-20s and runs Situational Awareness, a hedge fund(对冲基金)—named without irony—which posted a loss of 67% in July. He launched it in 2024 after writing a 165-page essay with the same title, arguing that artificial “superintelligence” would transform society before the decade was out.(他在2024年写了一篇同名165页文章后创立了该基金，文章主张人工智能“超级智能”将在本十年结束前改变社会。)
任何把钱交给利奥波德·阿申布伦纳、如今又对他恼怒的投资者都该引以为戒。阿申布伦纳先生二十多岁，经营着一家名为“情境感知”的对冲基金——这个名字毫无讽刺意味——该基金7月份亏损了67%。他是在2024年写了一篇同名的165页文章后创立该基金的，文中主张人工智能“超级智能”将在本十年结束前改变社会。
Situational Awareness (the screed(长篇大论的文章)) took Silicon Valley by storm. More surprising, investors responded by shovelling(大量投入，猛砸) money to Situational Awareness (the fund). Within months Mr Aschenbrenner, then aged 22 or so and having never worked as a trader, was managing hundreds of millions of dollars.
《情境感知》（那篇檄文）在硅谷引起了轰动。更令人惊讶的是，投资者们纷纷向“情境感知”（那只基金）砸钱。几个月内，当时年仅22岁左右、从未做过交易员的阿申布伦纳先生，就管理着数亿美元的资金。
