Two counts of attempted murder are among the numerous state accusations against a Texas man who is alleged to have thrown a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco residence. On Tuesday afternoon, Daniel Moreno-Gama will be arraigned to hear those charges. The 20-year-old is also charged with federal felonies, including possessing an unregistered firearm and attempting to use explosives to injure or destroy property.
According to the US Justice Department, he was discovered in possession of documents that advocated against artificial intelligence (AI) and demanded that investors and AI executives be charged with crimes.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that “violence cannot be the norm for expressing disagreement with politics, a technology, or any other matter.” “These alleged actions – which damaged property and could well have taken lives – will be aggressively prosecuted.”
In a statement, OpenAI stated that “we welcome a good faith debate” and that “to ensure society gets AI right, we need to work through the democratic process.” However, it also stated that “there is no place in our democracy for violence against anyone, regardless of the AI lab they work at or side of the debate they belong to.
