"Pause AI, founded in Utrecht, Netherlands in May 2023 by Joep Meindertsma, aims to halt what it calls 'dangerous frontier AI' and staged its first protest outside Microsoft's lobbying office in Brussels."
"Moreno-Gama was linked to comments on Pause AI's Discord server, including one post, dated Dec. 3, 2025, that read: 'We are close to midnight, it's time to actually act.'"
"Pause AI said the suspect joined its server two years ago and posted a total of 34 messages, none of which 'contained explicit calls to violence.'"
"Elmore told Fortune that she had been on her way to Washington, DC last week to finish preparing for a peaceful demonstration on Capitol Hill when the attempted firebombing occurred."
Daniel Moreno-Gama attempted to firebomb Sam Altman's home and attacked OpenAI's headquarters, leading to scrutiny of anti-AI groups Pause AI and Stop AI. Both groups condemned the violence and stated that Moreno-Gama was not a member. Pause AI, founded in May 2023, aims to halt dangerous AI and has grown into a global movement. Moreno-Gama's activity on Pause AI's Discord server included non-violent posts, and the group emphasized that he did not promote violence.
