yahoo news | Police arrest suspect after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at Sam Altman's $27...
Early Friday morning a Molotov cocktail was thrown at Sam Altman’s $27 million residence on San Francisco’s Russian Hill. Police were dispatched to the North Beach home at about 4:12 a.m. for a fire investigation; the blaze was limited to an exterior gate and no one was injured. A 20‑year‑old male suspect fled the scene on foot and was later taken into custody after his description was broadcast to officers citywide.
Shortly after, at around 5:07 a.m., SFPD officers responded to OpenAI’s headquarters where an unknown man was threatening to set the building on fire. The individual matched the description of the person who had attacked Altman’s home, leading to his arrest. The San Francisco Police Department confirmed the suspect is being held pending charges and the investigation remains ongoing.
OpenAI praised the department’s rapid response, stating “thankfully, no one was hurt” and expressing appreciation for the city’s support in keeping employees safe. While Altman, once a Silicon Valley mainstay, now enjoys a global profile, the incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of artificial‑intelligence firms, including criticism of OpenAI following its recent Pentagon contract announcement.

undefined | Sam Altman's house hit with Molotov cocktail, OpenAI San Francisco headquarters threatened
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s North Beach home was targeted early Friday morning when a suspect threw a Molotov cocktail at the residence, igniting a fire on an exterior gate. The San Francisco Police Department responded quickly, and while the device caused damage to the gate, no one was injured. The same 20‑year‑old male suspect was later identified at OpenAI’s San Francisco headquarters, where he allegedly threatened to set the building ablaze. Officers detained and arrested him at the headquarters about an hour after the home attack; charges are pending.
OpenAI confirmed the incident in a statement, thanking the SFPD for its rapid response and assuring that its employees were safe. The company said it is cooperating fully with law‑enforcement investigators. The attack comes amid heightened scrutiny of Altman and OpenAI, following the firm’s recent defense‑contract deal that sparked protests from activists, and ongoing legal battles—including a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk alleging that Altman misled him into a $38 million donation under the premise that OpenAI would remain a nonprofit.
The incident adds to the turbulent backdrop of intense competition between OpenAI and rival Anthropic, both valued at over $1 trillion and pursuing potential IPOs while burning through billions of dollars. As the legal fight with Musk proceeds, with Musk seeking Altman’s removal as CEO, the Molotov‑cocktail attack underscores the growing external pressures confronting the AI giant and its leadership.

yahoo news | Person throws Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home, company says
A person allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman early on the morning of April 10, 2026. The spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed that the incendiary device was thrown at Altman’s residence in North Beach, San Francisco, and that threats were also made at the company’s headquarters. No one was injured in the attack, and the suspect was quickly taken into custody as the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) responded to the fire investigation.
Police identified the attacker as a 20‑year‑old male. Officers arrived at the scene around 4:12 a.m., found the exterior gate of Altman’s home damaged by fire, and pursued the suspect, who fled on foot. Shortly thereafter, at about 5:07 a.m., SFPD officers responded to a separate report of an individual threatening to burn down a nearby business on 3rd Street, recognized the same suspect, and detained him. The department stated that probable cause was established for the arrest, though formal charges remained pending.
OpenAI said it is cooperating fully with law‑enforcement investigations and praised the rapid response of the SFPD and city officials for keeping employees safe. The incident follows Altman’s recent comments that, while enthusiastic about AI, he does not think his own son—or other young children—should use the technology yet. The story is still developing, and updates are expected as the investigation proceeds.

Hey, San Francisco, There Should Be Consequences When Police Spy Illegally
-
"A San Francisco supervisor has proposed that police and other city agencies should have no financial consequences for breaking a landmark surveillance oversight law. In 2019, organizations from across the city worked together to help pass that law, which required law enforcement to get the approval of democratically elected officials before they bought and used new spying technologies. Bit by bit, the San Francisco Police Department and the Board of Supervisors have weakened that law—but one important feature of the law remained: if city officials are caught breaking this law, residents can sue to enforce it, and if they prevail they are entitled to attorney fees.
Now Supervisor Matt Dorsey believes that this important accountability feature is “incentivizing baseless but costly lawsuits that have already squandered hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars over bogus alleged violations of a law that has been an onerous mess since it was first enacted.”"

No surprise that the #SFPD is illegally sharing privileged ALPR data with ICE and other rogue law enforcement agencies. This is in direct violation of multiple city and state laws.

"The high-tech unit of #SFPD is funded almost entirely by two tech billionaires, and the #surveillance systems it operates will be housed in one of those billionaires’ offices. Does that not make anyone else nervous?"
YES

#SFPD ran up $229,000 in #overtime patrolling just 3, mostly peaceful, anti-ICE protests in June in this very lean budget year. They also arrested more than 200 people and dropped charges against all of them. https://48hills.org/2025/07/sf-cops-are-already-exceeding-their-ot-budget-by-arresting-ice-protesters/?ref=newsletters.48hills.org

🚔 Wow, #Oakland and #SFPD are really into "sharing" – they must have mistaken ICE for their Facebook friends list 📸. Apparently, "state law" is just a suggestion when it comes to giving away your license plate #data like Halloween candy 🎃. Who knew cops were such generous #data philanthropists?

"San Francisco police have been quietly using artificial intelligence to write reports for weeks, and critics worry that the technology could create more opportunities for the abuse of power.
According to an internal memo obtained by The Standard, the San Francisco Police Department is participating in a pilot AI police-report program created by Axon, the company that provides body cameras to cops.
The pilot began in May and will last until August, when officers will rate the software in a survey, according to the memo. Officers are allowed to use the AI technology only for writing reports on certain infractions, such as misdemeanors without arrests and citations, as well as for informational documents.
In an internal October email obtained by the digital rights nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation, an SFPD representative said the department planned to pilot the program, Draft One, and had begun its “test phase.”"

#SFPD’s tactical RV has decamped from 16th and Mission.

Pretty sure the giant #SFPD command never at 16th St would be way, way more effective as a community improvement service if it were instead a food truck.

The sidewalk paint memorial is referencing the notorious 1934 West Coast longshoremen’s strike. The fallout of the assault by #SFPD became a catalyst for public support of unions in San Francisco and led to the unionization of all of ports on the West Coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_West_Coast_waterfront_strike

SFist is all upset that #SFPD employees get 25 days of paid sick leave. Sick leave is not the issue mannnn, it is spending a hundred million dollars on overtime for a violent, racist, classist system of oppression.

There is no #CovidSafe way of making a #PoliceReport in #SF #SFPD. Dispatcher got extremely snippy with me when I asked what options there are because #CovidIsNotOver. Reports must be made face to face; I can request the officer #WearAMask but they are under no obligation to do so.
And this is entirely unrelated to my previous three posts.
