Sam Altman said he unwinds by scrolling TikTok-style short-form video before bed, but he had previously found it too compelling and deleted the app. He described scrolling for three hours on a Saturday afternoon after first getting into TikTok during OpenAI’s Sora development. Altman now discourages TikTok use for kids and frames short-form video as dangerous, while other executives described using social media in moderation for work and consumer insight.
