Case in point, OpenAI reportedly locked down its offices in San Francisco after it allegedly received a violent threat from an anti-AI diehard. “Our information indicates that [an activist] from StopAI has expressed interest in causing physical harm to OpenAI employees,” an OpenAI employee wrote on Slack, according to Wired. StopAI organizers have previously coordinated hunger strikes in front of various AI company offices. Earlier this month, the group also claimed responsibility after an attorney from the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office served OpenAI CEO Sam Altman a subpoena to appear as a witness in a criminal case.
