Police did not immediately comment on the suspect\u2019s potential motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThankfully, no one was hurt.

The company recently faced backlash over its move to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1979824\">&nbsp;strike<\/a>&nbsp;a deal with the US government to let it use its technology in classified military operations, after rival Anthropic and Washington got into a dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent&nbsp;<em>NBC<\/em>&nbsp;News poll found that AI is less popular than the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Altman addressed the incident in a blog post published on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of the criticism of our industry comes from sincere concern about the incredibly high stakes of this technology,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we have that debate, we should de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics and try to have fewer explosions in fewer homes, figuratively and literally,\u201d he later added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Francisco police said officers investigating the fire at Altman\u2019s house found signs that the 20-year-old was involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco(National Times)- police arrested a person for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman\u2019s home and for making threats outside the artificial intelligence startup\u2019s headquarters, the company said on Friday.
