Texas Man Charged with Attempted Murder in Attack on OpenAI CEO
Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20, faces multiple charges including attempted murder and arson after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's residence in San Francisco. The attack occurred early Friday morning, causing a fire at the property's exterior gate. No injuries were reported. The US Department of Justice has also charged Moreno-Gama with possession of an unregistered firearm. A document recovered during his arrest indicated his opposition to AI companies and included threats against various leaders. Moreno-Gama's arraignment is set for Tuesday afternoon, and the investigation is ongoing, with potential for charges to evolve based on evidence.
