Oddbean new post about login | logout Steve Jobs was a gigantic piece of shit and I admired him for years, even after his death till I read his biography. Anyway.
you can adore a skill of somebody's and also dislike them as a whole package
His skill to steal other people's ideas and market them as their own and revolutionary?
you're saying like building a brand and marketing is such an easy feat
No, that takes work sure. His skill in marketing doesn't make his fraudulence any less abhorrent.
read my original post again i can appreciate his skill in marketing and branding, while disagreeing with his fraudulence
I'm not sure if appreciate/adore is the right word here. Recognize is probably better. (Just to take to extremes) I recognize Hitler was a master of charisma but obviously he was one of the worst Humans in the History of man kind. (Again, just taking extremes to make my point. Obviously I'm not comparing Hitler to Jobs) Also, your Nip5 seems to be unreachable FYI. I'm sorry I'm being so pedantic. Probably unnecessary... 🫂
he is the greatest sales person on earth. his ability to gather money for projects in unlike anything else. most of them have been shit, but he is genuinely starting to make progress in some of them. he is the proof of fake it until you make it lol
I know the guy that setup his visit to the NSA
The iPhone killed BlackBerry. All they did was copy the blackberry pitch (email, phone, Internet all in one device) and move the market from selling minutes to selling data. Just as they've always done. Steal someone else's ground breaking idea, throw in some clever marketing and tout yourself as revolutionary. Woz was the man. Jobs is a fraud and a piece of shit human being.

we’re so lucky that Satoshi chose to remain pseudonymous ‘cause anytime that society builds someone up, it becomes very profitable for a journalist/society to bring them down
I think the worst thing ever created is the app agreements that no one ever reads, that no longer seem to be available anymore nostr:nevent1qqsvvzmmdkr5fpwl2uldkk98m7zqdpue7ad5qm79m862aln9uk7h4kqzyza0y7jvcndynyf70l0ve9gl6wuhrjf8n9v67c4s9dmp5ppuxvuycfxz740
