Police and OpenAI officials say a 20-year-old man suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail at CEO Sam Altman's San Francisco home has been arrested. The police department says the incident occurred shortly after 4 a.m. Friday and that the thrown device set an exterior gate on fire. Police say the suspect fled on foot. Less than an hour later, police were called to OpenAI headquarters, where they said the same person was threatening to burn down the building. No one was hurt, and OpenAI says it is assisting with the investigation. Police haven't publicly identified the man they arrested.
