For two consecutive days, two groups of people showed up at the home of GPT's father, Sam Altman. One group threw a Molotov cocktail at his house, and the other fired shots directly into the room.
No one was injured. But the timing of this incident is noteworthy—it happened just days after OpenAI released its latest model, just days after Anthropic's world-renowned strongest model, Mythos, became known to all, just days after Hermes 3 surpassed OpenClaw in multiple benchmark tests, and in the same week the entire AI industry began seriously discussing whether 'the speed of model iteration has already exceeded the pace of human comprehension.'
This is not just a simple social news story. It is a signal: when the speed of technological change begins to feel uncontrollable,失控的情绪会找到具体的出口 (uncontrolled emotions will find a specific outlet).
From any perspective, the AI industry from the beginning of the year until now has been in a state of acceleration. The release cycle for new models has been compressed from quarterly to weekly, sometimes even daily. Products that were considered the strongest reasoning models a month ago may have been surpassed by three competitors today. Hermes replaced OpenClaw—not in the distant future, but last week.
This speed itself has become a structural variable.
