A 20-year-old Texas man, Daniel Moreno-Gama, appeared in a San Francisco court Tuesday after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and later threatening to burn down the company's headquarters last Friday; no one was injured in either incident. His public defender argued he was in the midst of a mental health crisis and that attempted murder charges were an overreach, while prosecutors and federal authorities described it as a planned, targeted attack driven by Moreno-Gama's written opposition to artificial intelligence, which he linked to "impending extinction." The case has drawn wide attention as U.S. officials declared they would treat it as domestic terrorism, highlighting the rare but growing risk of real-world violence directed at prominent figures in the AI industry.
