Sam Altman is “the face of evil” for not reporting school shooter, says lawyer

Sam Altman is now branded 'the face of evil' by a lawyer who alleges he failed to report a school shooter — a stunning charge that drags the OpenAI CEO into a tragedy far removed from AI. The accusation, filed in a civil suit seeking $75 million in damages, claims Altman had prior knowledge of the planned attack and remained silent. No evidence yet supports the lawyer's assertion, but the rhetorical damage is done: a 2023 Pew survey found 62% of Americans already distrust tech executives, and this allegation could deepen that skepticism. Altman's legal team has called the suit baseless, yet the narrative of complicity lingers.
