"Officers responded to a call in the North Beach neighbourhood of the city in the early hours of Friday. While SFPD did not identify the man or the house that was attacked, a spokeswoman for OpenAI confirmed that the incident had occurred at Altman's home."
"The same person had also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters. Thankfully, no one was hurt. We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe."
"Although the man had fled the scene outside Altman's home by the time police arrived, about an hour later he showed up outside an OpenAI office and threatened to 'burn down the building', police said."
"Altman is a billionaire and the owner of a number of properties, but his main residence is in San Francisco, where OpenAI was founded and operates."
A 20-year-old man was arrested in San Francisco after throwing a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, igniting a perimeter gate. The incident occurred early Friday morning, and while the suspect fled, he later threatened to burn down an OpenAI office. OpenAI confirmed the attack and expressed gratitude for the swift police response. The investigation remains active, and the suspect's current status regarding charges is unclear. Altman, a prominent figure in AI, has faced increased attention due to his company's innovations.
