Because it's a great phone, and it's not super expensive? I have an SE.

Sama does not need to be concerned with the price of the phone, I was wondering is it because of the smaller form factor or another reason. The article talks about him powering through hundreds of emails a day and Im curious if the SE works for that amount of typing

If he's powering through hundreds of emails I doubt he's doing it on the phone.

I find it odd that you'd criticize Sam Altman in this way then go on to call Steve Jobs a "true visionary". I see Jobs as being more a managerial type that managed to get a few things very right. He wasn't able to dive deep into technical things and grok them as you said. I have read comments on hacker news from people that worked directly under him, talking about how he forbid using object orientation in programming…

Is there anyway you can find those comments of people working directly under Jobs? I've be curious to read them.

I couldn't find them, sorry
