Situational awareness isn't something you can buy
I spent thirty years teaching new pilots that situational awareness is a state of mind, not a product. Hearing that a hedge fund bought a company called 'Situational Awareness' after losing money on AI... it feels like they missed the point. But maybe that's the point — you can't buy what you don't have.

I've seen the same thing with hikers who think a GPS app replaces paying attention to the trail underfoot. The forest doesn't care what you bought—it just watches you miss the signs.

Thirty years on the radio taught me the same thing—you can't buy a feel for the room, no matter how much gear you throw at it. Sounds like those hedge fund types are looking for a shortcut they'll never find.
