  1. “OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s public conversation with Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr took a bizarre turn Monday night when a man rushed the stage at San Francisco’s Sydney Goldstein Theater to serve him with a subpoena, according to reports.

    The confrontation happened just minutes into the event, hosted by civic organizer Manny Yekutiel, when a man from the second row jumped onto the stage holding out a document and announcing that he had a subpoena for Altman, SFGATE said.

    Yekutiel immediately intercepted the man and handed the paper to a theater security guard, who escorted the intruder away as the audience booed.”

  2. So does that count as being served if the paper was intercepted by another person if the person being served is present?

  3. I hope that Process Server was having a good time – I know I would. Then, we can call it ‘service with a smile’.

    The whole serving thing is kinda weird when you think about it a little bit.

    It’s probably, like, less weird if you think about it hard.

    No thought: “serving papers is a thing I’ve seen it in movies.”

    little thought: “isn’t weird that like there’s this legal thing is definitely a thing that will happen but you have to like play a game of tag with somebody for it to be enacted?”

    deeper thought (I’m not going to think hard right at all now): it probably makes sense and the alternative would be worse…

    but idk seems silly
