That's a hilarious reaction.
Anyway there's zip about this incident on LW, which is telling.

don't miss the anarcho-libertarian in the comments
Lesswrong is too centrist-brained to ever even hint at legitimizing (non-state-sanctioned) destruction of property as a means of protest or political action. But according to the orthodox lesswrong lore, Sam Altman's actions are literally an existential threat to all humanity, so they can't defend him either. So they are left with silence.
I actually kind of agree with the anarchy-libertarian's response? It is massively down voted.
Bingo. Dear leader Yudkowsky can ask to bomb the data centers, and as long as this action goes through the US political process, that violence is legitimate, regardless of how ill-behaved the US is or it's political processes degraded from actually functioning as a democracy.
That explains why Yud is using twitter so much nowadays. I mean they did ban him right? right?
Someone just made a top post condemning the Molotov but defending and normalizing Eliezer: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Sih2sFHEgusDEuxtZ/you-can-t-trust-violence
