Nobody is asking whether Sam actually got the message? Asking both because of his phone's black locked screen with no notifications showing, but also because doing this as an actual live demo looks like a dangerous thing to try... I'm curious how folks approach risk on such a high-stakes live demo

He did show his screen. It was too small to read the message, but something grayish was there, popping up. I believe that you could see someone else controlling the bottom of the screen typing the same message 10 seconds earlier, which made me think there was some demo-proofing happening. I feel like sending a text message isn’t such a bold demo risk —– a bit like Jobs calling to order 1,000 coffees in a very public prank call with the then-new iPhone. What seemed a tad too personal was the French engineer sharing his flight ticket and possibly the address of his AirBnB… I’m assuming those were fictional.
