Goddammit if your going do this, do it fucking right make sure to accomplish your goal. Fucking A and don't get caught. Probably some with a mental health issue who needs help not prison. We need more Luigis.

Oh noooo don't hurt the poor innocent billionaire who sexually assaulted his sister for a decade!!!

Consider his products psychologically torture people until they commit suicide, I’m really not torn up about this in the slightest.

yes please!

waiter, please bring some more!

Just one?

A 20-year-old man allegedly tossed a Molotov cocktail at the home of Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, before the sun rose on Friday, according to statements from San Francisco police.

The suspect, who allegedly threw the fire bomb at the $27m North Beach residence around 4:12am, has been arrested but not identified. The same person allegedly threatened to torch OpenAI’s headquarters in the city. No injuries were reported.

The San Francisco Police Department wrote in a statement on Friday morning that the agency responded to a “fire investigation” after the man allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s residence. Law enforcement said there was a “fire to an exterior gate”, after which the suspect fled on foot.

About an hour later, just after 5am, police responded to reports from a business in the Mission Bay neighborhood, where OpenAI’s headquarters are located, about a man “threatening to burn down the building”. Officers said they recognized the man as the suspect from the earlier incident and immediately detained him.

OpenAI, best known for making the popular ChatGPT chatbot, confirmed the incident in an emailed statement. “Early this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters. Thankfully, no one was hurt,” a spokesperson said. “We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe. The individual is in custody, and we’re assisting law enforcement with their investigation.”

OpenAI sent a note informing employees on Friday morning about the incident, and told them there was no immediate threat to them or other offices. The note also mentioned that there would be increased police and security presence around its Mission Bay offices.

Nice

I suspect his agenetic model made unwanted adjustments to his firewall settings.

Well, it might’ve amounted to nothing, but while some people dream about the guillotine, he’s trying to build it in his own way

Who the fuck cares. He should build a fence then. Is he stupid?

From what appears to be the guy's Substack:

East Asian people are on average more intelligent than Black people. Which is factual based on the vast majority of tests we have developed and observed over the decades.

And:

I am an advocate for ending mass migration and initiating mass deportations for illegal migrants in western countries. Not because I am a white supremacist (I am not white) or because I believe there is necessarily anything innately special about being white. I believe these things for three reasons. First, nations have the right to preserve their ethnic identity, and second low skill immigration saturates the job markets of these countries making jobs which could once earn a living wage become unlivable, increasing the amount of value draining people in society by both importing them and undercutting low skill natives. lastly, generally, whiteness in these countries is a decent correlative to some of the things I value.

And:

It is true that many of the features which white supremacist value have little to do with the genetic predisposition to European ancestry and instead have to do with higher IQ; which is relatively more common among whites than most other groups.

So, a common-or-garden guy who is not left-wing or right-wing but a secret third thing that is also right-wing.

Wouldn't put it past Altman to pull a Jussie Smollett style self attack to garner sympathy as his company goes down the drain.

Stolen shamelessly from a followers-only post, so I’m assuming that the originator would prefer me not to give them credit.

A lotta people asking their ai assistant how to reap something other than what they sow these days…

So two thoughts:

1. Per Saltman's comments the improvised incendiary bounced off the side of the house rather than breaking and spreading the gas on the house proper. Apparently if you want the bottle to break the way you intend you gotta really just whang that thing because glass bottles are sturdier than you'd think.

2. One thing I find ironic about his referencing the New Yorker article on him was that part of my takeaway from that article was how mundane he is, individually. Like, he's a snake, but not in any way that isn't pretty standard once you start getting that level of wealth and power. He credibly pretended to be a proper AI cultist for the critihype, and then as the rubber started hitting the road he pivoted towards the direction that gave him and the company more money, even if it meant sacrificing the values that it turns out a lot of other people really cared about (however dumb I might think they are). That's shitty, but it's shitty in the most boring way that so many things are in the rot economy, and it's not like even if they had managed to kill Altman himself there wouldn't be another bunch of enterprising sociopaths ready to move into the same position. That profile is one of the strongest pieces of evidence why even if you are a hardcore AI doom cultist you shouldn't focus your ire on the man himself, because he's just not that special.

Maybe ChatGPT told them to do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait, if im recalling right a former StopAI activist went on the run after threatening an OpenAI lab and causing it to shut down, it mentions the suspect has threatened an OpenAI lab before so could it be the same guy?? Edit: Just read D Gerard’s latest article, turns out it was a different guy. I do wonder what happened to that activist though

If there were any doubts before this incident that Sam Altman is a sociopath, there can be none now.

Just doing the Basilisk's bidding...

@Soyweiser "ChatGPT TOLD me to do it!"

It's a start.
