Data Graham posted:That's the thing, rear end in a top hat he may have been but he really did care about making people's lives better through technology. From the very beginning to the very end. He was fanatically devoted to it above all else. His assholery was in service of that fanaticism. Everything positive that could be said about Steve Jobs' business acumen could also be said about a street hustler with a mean steak, or a charlatan magician.

mannerup posted:on the design front, how much of that can/should be attributed to Jony Ive? he was the key design person there for all of their most successful product launches after Jobs returned to Apple Jony Ive was a nobody in the ID department that Steve hand picked to run it. And Jony is widely acknowledged to hugely benefit from Steve’s editing, Jony was pushed out of Apple after Steve was out for refusing to listen to anyone but Steve to stop making dumb poo poo.

I can't tell if this is a troll or severe silicone valley poisoning. I think I'm more angry about that than anything. We live in a world where this has a chance to be a real guy. I hate that. No human should be so empty.

Jobs pushing the "don't ask the customer what they want show them what they want" is actually a pretty good thing in the tech world of MBAs running wild and focus groups. The ipad was mocked as a giant ipod touch when it was unveiled but it immediately and completely killed the whole windows pocket pc with a stylus crap that the windows vendors were dicking around with. Musk on the other hand thinks the customer is him so just wants poo poo that he finds hilarious or cool or epic WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Nov 18, 2023 |

mannerup posted:on the design front, how much of that can/should be attributed to Jony Ive? he was the key design person there for all of their most successful product launches after Jobs returned to Apple Most of the hardware, sure. Of course Ive had plenty of blind spots (like making everything as thin as humanly possible, whether or not it led to bendy phones or keyboards that self-destructed. But hey it's THIN!). But yeah his design sense always led to a physically beautiful and compelling product. Jobs' thing was about the interface and the gestalt of how things worked as a system. Modern MacOS is still a direct descendant of NeXTSTEP, with many of the same underlying characteristics that came mostly from Avie Tevanian and his vision for what the OS should be like, which was Jobs' whole thing at NeXT aimed at businesses/institutions. And famously the iPod's biggest breakthrough wasn't in its capacity or its feature set, but in the wheel-based navigation which let you scroll quickly through a list of a thousand songs without having to hammer a button a thousand times. He didn't come up with stuff like that himself but he could instantly identify when an idea like that was the future and throw the entire company behind it. He also would cling tenaciously to dumb ideas for far too long (like some of the later iPod designs like the ones with the identical touch-sensitive buttons, or the puck mouse), and we'll never really know how the dynamic between him and Ive really worked in practice. They probably talked each other into any number of bad corners and neither wanted to back down.

Meanwhile, “Æ” is the Elven spelling of AI, which is shorthand for artificial intelligence and the word for “love” in several languages, such as Japanese.

gently caress man, this would be some of the best satire I've seen of AI art if it was on the SA front page or Cracked when it used to be good. It's depressing that I literally cannot tell if the dude is serious or not. The fact that he's a nazi cryptobro (but I repeat myself) and therefore would not understand art in the slightest makes the possibility of this being their legit opinion scary

Circle Nine posted:i think the only reason big companies are still on x, the everything app, is brand image protection. sure you can say we're not going to be on x, the everything app, anymore but then elon is gonna auction off your handle to the highest bidder who will inevitably be someone combating the Woke Mind Virus and then cause a whole ruckus for you. I think it's more momentum. They already have the Twitter social media team, the widget that ties their website to posts and their Twitter account printed on packaging. There were huge amounts of cash spent establishing all of these things, but maintaining them only takes a trickle. So... why rock the boat? Everything is still in place and even though Twitter has become X (the everything site for Nazi's and a billionaire zonked out on ketamine) are you gonna be the guy to tell the higher ups that all that money establishing your "Twitter brands" is now just ashes, or are you gonna just remain silent? Besides, who knows, maybe your Twi... X account might still rope some customers towards your company.
