Daniel Moreno-Gama faces federal charges after attacking Sam Altman's residence and OpenAI HQ, leaving a document listing AI executives' addresses as targets.
Daniel Moreno-Gama has been federally charged after allegedly attacking Sam Altman's home and OpenAI's San Francisco headquarters. SFPD recovered a three-part manifesto in which Moreno-Gama claimed he 'killed/attempted to kill' Altman, listed names and home addresses of AI company board members, CEOs, and investors, and called on others to commit similar acts. He also emailed a version of the document to his former Texas college on April 10, 2026. The document framed violence as a necessary response to AI's purported existential risk to humanity.
This is a rare but escalating signal that vocal AI work carries reputational and physical risk for public-facing technologists. Developers who publish research, speak publicly, or are listed on company pages as AI contributors should be aware that anti-AI extremism is moving from online rhetoric to documented physical threats. This is not a reason to stop building — but it is a reason to audit your personal exposure online.
