About a week ago, someone tried to kill Open AI CEO Sam Altman.

A man threw a lit Maltov cocktail into Altman's San Francisco home.

Prosecutors say he was motivated by a hatred of AI technology.

They found a note on him that warned of humanity's impending extinction from AI.

Just a few days later, two people drove by Altman's house and one of them put a gun out of

the window and shot at it.

They were also arrested sometime between the first and second attempt on his life, Altman

took to his blog to ask that people not try to kill him anymore.

In it, he partly blamed a recent New Yorker profile of him for the violence.

He called it incendiary and said that he had underestimated the power of words and narratives.

But Altman participated in the profile.

The central question it poses is, can Sam Altman be trusted?
