AI Tech Billionaire Killed in Crash, Injures Others
Generative AI tech superstar and OysterAI founder Paul O’Connor died in a fiery multi-car crash late Saturday night on the I-5 in Los Angeles. Several calls to police reported his Bugatti aggressively and erratically weaving in and out of traffic at extremely high speeds for several miles before he collided with a barrier and lost control.
Four other vehicles were involved in the accident, with three occupants being rushed to nearby hospitals with life-threatening injuries and four treated for minor injuries. O’Connor was deceased on-scene, and his body was said to be “burned beyond recognition.” The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office indicated that the body was damaged too much to determine if he was under the influence of any substances, but police found cocaine and paraphernalia in the remains of the vehicle.
As of Sunday morning, the hospitalized victims are said to be in stable condition.
