On April 10, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's $27 million San Francisco mansion caught an unwanted spotlight when Daniel Moreno-Gama, a pro-AI-doomsday Texan, lobbed a Molotov cocktail as if launching a startup idea—just with more fire and less funding. Moreno-Gama, arrested near OpenAI HQ, faced multiple attempted murder charges while carrying a dossier of AI CEOs marked in a mysterious anti-AI manifesto. Meanwhile, Altman pointed fingers at ex-colleagues-turned-rivals Anthropic, founded by seven safety-obsessed OpenAI defectors, who enjoy throwing shade like their CEO Dario Amodei’s subtle “code red” Super Bowl snubs and ‘fear-based marketing’ of a fictional AI bomb shelter priced at $100 million. Altman’s hopes for cooler heads somehow still survive this Shakespearean AI soap opera.
