Amid turbulent economic conditions and trepidatious customers, Salesforce managed to deliver better-than-expected quarterly financial results. But on the company's conference call with analysts Wednesday, CEO Marc Benioff wanted to talk about the dinner he recently had at his neighbor's house.
"My neighbor Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, and I went over to his house for dinner and it was a great conversation, as it always is with him, and he said 'Oh, just hold on one second, Marc, I want to get my laptop,'" Benioff recounted on Wednesday's earnings call. "He brought his laptop out and gave me some demonstrations of advanced technologies that are not appropriate for the call, but I did notice that there was only one application that he was using on his laptop, and that was Slack."
