About this episode

The episode features an interview with Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama, who was arrested for attempting to kill Sam Altman, discussing his motivations and beliefs about AGI.

In this episode we talk with Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama, the man who was recently arrested and charged with attempting to kill Sam Altman. Several months before the attack, our team contacted a young man posting on Discord under the handle "Butlerian Jihadist," who referenced “Luigi-ing tech CEOs” to our producer. He agreed to an interview and to answer questions about his background and how he came to believe that AGI must be stopped for humanity to survive.
