🤖 Sam Altman Attacked Twice, A Secret AI Model Shakes Governments & GPUs Are Now Orbiting Earth

🤖 Sam Altman Attacked Twice, A Secret AI Model Shakes Governments & GPUs Are Now Orbiting Earth

Author: AI Daily April 13, 2026 Duration: 7:02
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's San Francisco home was targeted in two separate attacks within days of each other — a Molotov cocktail and a shooting — as public tensions with the AI industry reach a dangerous new extreme. Datacenter protests are erupting across the US, crossing political lines, as 710 billion dollars in AI infrastructure investment fuels a growing backlash. In healthcare, a new AI tool called PhenMap could change how doctors treat advanced bowel cancer by predicting which patients will actually respond to treatment — potentially sparing thousands from ineffective therapies. Kepler Communications has launched the largest orbital compute cluster ever, putting 40 GPUs into Earth orbit in a move that could transform satellite operations and space-based AI. Anthropic's mysterious new model, Mythos, was deemed too dangerous to release publicly — sparking US Treasury meetings, letters from UK politicians, and widespread speculation about whether this was a safety call or a carefully engineered hype campaign. The contradiction deepens as Trump administration officials may simultaneously be encouraging major banks to test the very model the DoD flagged as a supply-chain risk. Meta AI and KAUST researchers have proposed a concept called Neural Computers, where the neural network itself becomes the computer — a radical rethinking of how AI systems could be built from the ground up. The pace of change is relentless, and the gap between Silicon Valley and the public has never felt wider.
