Overview
- Police in San Francisco said a man threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s house early Friday, causing a small fire at an exterior door.
- About an hour later near OpenAI’s Mission Bay headquarters, officers say the same person threatened to burn the building and was arrested.
- No injuries were reported, and police described the damage to the home as minor.
- The suspect is about 20 years old, remains in custody, and has not been publicly identified as the investigation continues.
- OpenAI thanked police for the response and notified employees internally, while some coverage noted the incidents followed a critical New Yorker story about Altman without any stated link from authorities.
