"Violence cannot be the norm for expressing disagreement, be it with politics or a technology or any other matter. These alleged actions which damaged property and could well have taken lives will be aggressively prosecuted."
"To ensure society gets AI right, we need to work through the democratic process. We welcome a good faith debate, but there is no place in our democracy for violence against anyone, regardless of the AI lab they work at or side of the debate they belong to."
Daniel Moreno-Gama, a 20-year-old Texas man, is charged with attempted murder for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's home. He faces state and federal charges, including possession of an unregistered firearm. The US Justice Department claims he possessed documents promoting violence against AI executives. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized that violence is unacceptable for expressing disagreement. OpenAI stated that while they welcome debate, violence has no place in democracy. Moreno-Gama is also accused of attempting to set fire to OpenAI's headquarters shortly after the incident at Altman's residence.
