Sam Altman Responds to 'Incendiary' New Yorker Investigation After Firebombing of His Home

TechCrunch·medium signal

Days after someone threw a Molotov cocktail at his home, Altman publicly responded to The New Yorker's 16,000-word investigation by Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz, calling it 'incendiary.' The New Yorker piece — based on interviews with 100+ sources and previously undisclosed Ilya Sutskever memos and Dario Amodei notes — alleges a two-decade pattern of manipulation. The print edition (dated April 13) reveals that Altman never told the board Microsoft had released an early ChatGPT version in India without completing a safety review.
