20-year-old anti-AI activist linked to Molotov attack on Sam Altman’s San Francisco home
Daniel Moreno-Gama, a 20-year-old Texas college student, is accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s San Francisco home and later threatening OpenAI HQ after a string of online posts opposing AI and advocating martyrdom. Authorities say he was captured on security footage at Altman’s residence, then went to OpenAI’s headquarters and damaged doors, while a three-part anti-AI note identified other AI leaders. His public defender argues the case involves mental health issues amid an acute crisis, and he faces state-level attempted murder charges along with federal counts.
