On April 11, CoinFeed reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded to the Molotov cocktail attack on his residence in a blog post. He expressed understanding for society's fear and anxiety regarding the rapid development of AI, believing that we are currently experiencing "one of the most dramatic technological revolutions in human history," and that the risks are no longer limited to model alignment issues but have risen to a systemic challenge at the societal level. Altman emphasized that AI power should not be concentrated in the hands of a few institutions but should be more widely distributed through technological democratization and institutional constraints. In his personal reflection section, Altman acknowledged mistakes in handling the conflict, including decision-making issues during the conflict with the board, and apologized for past actions. He also reiterated that he had rejected Elon Musk's demands for control of OpenAI, stating that this choice ensured the company's independent development path.
