The backstory:
OpenAI amends Pentagon deal, CEO Sam Altman says
OpenAI is revising its contract with the Pentagon following criticism that the agreement could enable mass surveillance of Americans. According to Axios, CEO Sam Altman sought to add explicit protections against monitoring Americans.
San Francisco police began investigating an arson attack involving a Molotov cocktail at Altman's home on Friday morning.
Authorities confirmed that Moreno-Gama was taken into custody shortly after on attempted murder charges.
Sources close to the investigation told Fox News that Moreno-Gama was driven by his anti-AI views and was carrying a manifesto when he was arrested in San Francisco.
The document, described as a "three-part series," includes a list of other AI executives and investors along with their names and addresses, sources said.
Sources told Fox News the Justice Department is expected to file federal charges Monday afternoon for attempted damage and destruction of property by means of explosives and possession of an unregistered firearm.
Moreno-Gama is already charged with multiple state felonies, including attempted murder, in connection to the incident at Altman's home.
