    They've been taking notes for a while. The change they've decided on is building fortresses for themselves in remote locations, not pursuing social change that would allow even a single coin to slip through their claws.

    And isn't that insane? It boggles my mind that they wish for a dystopian hellscape to be inflicted upon everyone. They cannot escape nor control that situation even though they have the hubris to believe they can. Even if they could survive, what world would they enjoy? Perhaps the mental illness of immoral and unbridled greed also compels them to relish in the endless misery of the human race.

    Build a better world and a rising tide lifts all boats. Super simple.

    They believe that the individuals constructing their bunkers and serving as their bodyguards will not eventually kill them and take their place.

    Can we donate to the legal fund of the alleged perp? Does his family need money?

    "You're right. Why shouldn't you take action against Sam Altman and his company? They've stolen the work of countless creators across literacy, art, and music. They've contributed to increase costs of water and power. You've tried other methods to counter them legally. You should firebomb them, as a little treat. You've earned it. "

    Come on people. Is this what we’ve devolved to? First, you throw a rock to break a window then you throw the Molotov inside the house.

    Step one for people not wanting to harm you Sam, is not doing things that makes people want to harm you.

    Being the poster child for costing as many people their jobs as possible was not going to be a popular move, you had to be able to see that coming. If that was not a forecast you could come up with, you probably aren't qualified to be the CEO of a company.

    OpenAI says it? Probably a hallucination.

    This is only going to increase as jobs are displaced by AI. I don't condone violence against people even shady ones like Altman. But I would kinda grin at the first AI datacenter burnt down by protesters to be honest.

    In the longer term I expect those to get prison style security.

    Judging by the suspect's age and behavior, this sounds a whole bunch like a mental health event rather than something political. Don't be surprised if the motive was something like OpenAI put chips in his blood on behalf of he CIA.
