"Sam Altman just got served. On Tuesday, the OpenAI CEO was abruptly issued a subpoena while giving a talk in San Francisco with basketball coach Steve Kerr. Footage of the incident, which took place at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, shows a man climb onto the stage and declare that he has a "subpoena for Sam Altman," before being loudly booed by the crowd. Altman does not physically take the document, and the seeming intruder is ushered away."
"The man, it turned out, was an employee working for the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, the agency confirmed to SFGate. And the subpoena was very much real. Following the public incident, an activist group called "Stop AI" claimed responsibility for the subpoena on social media. Some of the group's members are on trial for their repeated attempts to block OpenAI employees from entering their headquarters, including during a widely covered demonstration in February, something the organization claims was a form of non-violent protest protected"
Sam Altman was served a subpoena while speaking at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco during an event with coach Steve Kerr. A man climbed onto the stage, announced he had a subpoena for Altman, was booed, and was escorted away while Altman did not accept the document. The server was an investigator from the San Francisco Public Defender's Office who said Altman is a potential witness in a pending criminal case and that prior service attempts occurred at OpenAI headquarters and via its online portal. An activist group called Stop AI claimed responsibility and links to protests and trials related to attempts to block OpenAI access. Stop AI frames its actions as non-violent attempts to halt development of artificial superintelligence to prevent existential threat.
