Someone Threw a Molotov at Sam Altman's House. Clearly, They're Not Bullish on OpenAI.

San Francisco police collar a suspect early Friday after someone lobbed a Molotov cocktail at the humble abode of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The action went down in the North Beach neighborhood around 4:12 a.m. PT after the fuzz got a call about a fire. Cops say an unidentified dude hurled an incendiary device, sparked a blaze on an exterior gate, then bolted like he'd just faked a rug pull. Classic exit strategy.

Cops later pinched the same suspect near OpenAI's headquarters after he allegedly threatened to torch that building too. When police showed up, they clocked the individual as the same phantom from the earlier incident and hauled him in. Authorities identified the guy as a 20-year-old man, though his deets remain unpublished. Nobody got hurt, and charges are still pending while the investigation drags on. Another day in the city that's somehow both progressive and unhinged.

"Early this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters," an OpenAI spokesperson told Decrypt. " Thankfully, no one was hurt. We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe." Nothing like a little corporate gratitude for law enforcement to make the morning news cycle feel complete.

The attack lands amid a surge in threats linked to artificial intelligence development. In a recent Indiana case, someone ventilated some rounds into the home of a city council member who backed building a data center, leaving a note reading, "No data centers." Altman hasn't publicly weighed in on the incident. This follows another security scare in November when OpenAI went into lockdown at its San Francisco offices after catching a violent threat from an anti-AI activist who'd previously stopped by the company's facilities. Looks like the AI doomers are getting increasingly creative with their feedback.
