Sam Altman and Bill Gates discussed phone habits in the Microsoft founder's podcast episode "Unconfuse Me." For both of them, messaging apps reign supreme.

For Altman, the app he uses most is Slack. He uses it "all day" and "more than email. " "I wish I could say ChatGPT," the OpenAI CEO joked. Second only to Slack is iMessage.

Altman's response is reminiscent of a previous revelation that OpenAI employees used Google Meet instead of Teams, even after Microsoft invested $10 billion in their startup.

Gates uses Outlook most often. "I'm the old-school email type," he says. He also revealed that much of the news he reads is suggested by his browser. On this topic, Altman says he doesn't consider the web browser an application.

Additionally, the two prominent figures in the tech world discussed artificial intelligence (AI) on the podcast. Altman expressed concern that people will have to quickly adjust to how AI will change their lives and work.

"Every technological revolution is happening faster, and this is probably the fastest ever. That's part of what makes me a little scared about the speed at which society will have to adapt and how the labor market will change," he said.

Altman also briefly mentioned his abrupt dismissal from OpenAI in November 2023. At the time, the board said they had “lost faith in Altman’s ability” to lead, as well as his dishonesty in communication. After Microsoft approached him and offered him a position in the AI ​​research division, and most OpenAI employees wanted to follow, Altman was brought back in less than a week.

Altman called this “a truly mature moment for us. We are motivated to become better and a company ready for the challenges ahead.”
