Daniel Moreno-Gama was arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Just months before, he had made threats in an online chat to "emulate Luigi and take care of a few tech company CEOs." Chat screenshots show the American University of Texas student casually mentioning Luigi Mangione, the CEO of United Healthcare, during an online conversation with the producers of the podcast program "The Final Invention." The program had planned to invite him for an interview for an artificial intelligence-themed series. Last week, official charges stated that the 20-year-old Moreno-Gama traveled from the Houston area to San Francisco, where he threw Molotov cocktails at Sam Altman's residence and then attacked the OpenAI headquarters' front door, attempting to set the entire building on fire.
