OpenAI CEO targeted in attack

Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20, is facing federal and state charges following a violent attack on Sam Altman's San Francisco residence.

The suspect allegedly threw an incendiary device at the property's gate and was found with a 'hit list' of other prominent AI executives.

Investigations revealed the suspect held 'anti-AI' views, warning that the technology would lead to the end of humanity.

Altman has called for a de-escalation of rhetoric following the incident, which has raised serious security concerns for tech leaders.
