Sam and Jony and skepticism: "so much in the AI world in particular and the tech world in general, it’s meaningless hype, signifying nothing"


Six Colors by Jason Snell, Dan Moren and friends

The post-Jobs Apple era was one of great financial success, but the design failures and bizarre dead ends are there for all to see, and it’s hard not to imagine that an unchallenged Ive was a major part of that dynamic. He was knighted, did work for the King, drove fancy cars, designed a bunch of expensive jackets … it is hard not to look at Jony Ive’s last decade and a half and not wonder if he’s entirely lost touch with the part of him that collaborated with Jobs on the iMac, the iPod mini and the original iPhone. It felt like he was bored at Apple, and he seems to be excited about working with Altman on this new project, but are a bunch of designers who’ve been to the mountaintop and reaped the rewards really going to be tied in to the next big consumer hardware product?
