San Francisco police have charged a Texas man with attempted murder and other felonies following an alleged violent attack at the San Francisco residence of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Critics warn of existential risks, widespread job displacement, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few unaccountable companies. This friction has spawned a diverse spectrum of activism and discourse, but the alleged actions of the Texas suspect represent a dangerous...
