Sam Altman just got served.
Footage of the incident, which took place at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, shows a man climb onto the stage and declare that he has a “subpoena for Sam Altman,” before being loudly booed by the crowd.
The subpoena orders that Altman appear at the trial, which Stop AI says has grave stakes.
Stop AI may have a dramatic cause, but Altman himself has warned of AI’s apocalyptic risks.
