[Ailist] Steve Jobs and AI?

[Hank Kearns]

This is a very interesting read from Fortune magazine:

  I’ve been an Apple users all of my computer life, although not a  
knowledgeable as you and many others, and have felt a real allegiance  
to Apple. First I liked the product, but to be honest there was the  
“style” issue and pulling for the underdog attraction. I have mixed  
emotions when I read stories about Steve Jobs that talk of his  
arrogance, rudeness, and other undesirable traits. I guess I’m just  
an idealist, but I would rather have Steve be a little more  
humanistic. :)

"As soon as people heard I was writing a book on assholes, they would  
come up to me and start telling a Steve Jobs story," says Sutton.  
"The degree to which people in Silicon Valley are afraid of Jobs is  
unbelievable. He made people feel terrible; he made people cry. But  
he was almost always right, and even when he was wrong, it was so  
creative it was still amazing." Says Palo Alto venture capitalist  
Jean-Louis Gasse, a former Apple executive who once worked with Jobs:  
"Democracies don't make great products. You need a competent tyrant."

Can leaders have the success like Jobs and use the concepts of AI?


Cannot wait for the next Apple product!! :)

Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality.
