OpenAI CEO's home attacked

The FBI has arrested Daniel Moreno-Gama in connection with a targeted attack on the San Francisco residence of OpenAI founder Sam Altman.

Prosecutors allege the suspect traveled from Texas with the explicit intent to kill Altman and set fire to the company's headquarters, citing a manifesto that detailed his opposition to artificial intelligence.

Surveillance footage captured the moment an incendiary device was thrown at the property, though no injuries were reported.

The incident has sparked a major security review across Silicon Valley, as tech leaders face increasing threats from anti-AI activists.
