Sounds like this was just a crazy guy upset at OpenAI. Not great but an isolated incident.

That said… is anyone going to be surprised when the laid off masses torch a data center or worse? IMO, it’s only a matter of time before we see organized anti-AI terrorism too. When you have people out there saying “AI will kill us all” then it’s easy to justify using violence to stop that outcome.

I'd also call it isolated, but I mean it in a different way. I can't recall similar attacks against a tech bilionnaire. Which I guess makes it notable?

> organized anti-AI terrorism too

There were already memes about that

> When you have people out there saying “AI will kill us all”

It's the "clickbait" mechanism becoming more cancerous
