OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco residence was targeted in a Molotov cocktail attack. A 20-year-old suspect allegedly threw the incendiary device at Altman’s $65 million home at 3:45 AM, setting a perimeter gate on fire before fleeing. The same individual was arrested an hour later after threatening to "burn down" OpenAI’s headquarters. Altman broke his silence via an emotional blog post, sharing a rare photo of his husband and child. He linked the violence to rising "AI anxiety" and incendiary media narratives, pleading for a de-escalation of rhetoric to prevent further real-world harm. #SamAltmanSpeaksOutAfterAllegedAttack
