Daniel Moreno-Gama, a 20-year-old resident of Texas, USA, was taken into custody on suspicion of an attempted assassination of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Several months prior, he had publicly declared his intention to "emulate Luigi's actions and address a select group of tech company CEOs." On April 10, Moreno-Gama journeyed from Houston to San Francisco, where he hurled Molotov cocktails at Altman's home. Subsequently, he targeted the entrance of OpenAI's headquarters, attempting to ignite it. Law enforcement officials discovered several suspected incendiary devices, kerosene, and a lighter in his possession. Additionally, they uncovered a manifesto penned by Moreno-Gama, which cautioned that artificial intelligence posed a threat of human extinction. Moreno-Gama now confronts a multitude of federal accusations, encompassing attempted murder and arson, and has yet to submit a plea. His legal representative asserts that he suffers from autism and that his conduct was precipitated by a mental health emergency. Altman, while expressing apprehension regarding the progression of artificial intelligence, emphasized that violent actions must never be condoned.
