Molotov Cocktail Thrown at OpenAI CEO’s Home, Suspect in Custody

In the early hours of Friday, a Molotov cocktail struck the gate of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco residence. Police say no one was injured and a 20-year-old man has been arrested. SFPD officers arrived just after 4:00 a.m. following reports of an incendiary device. The suspect initially fled on foot but was later detained at OpenAI’s nearby headquarters after making threats. OpenAI confirmed it is cooperating with investigators. While the motive remains unclear, Altman has faced criticism over the impact of artificial intelligence. In a recent personal blog post, he shared a family photo and called for a de-escalation of anti-technology rhetoric.
