Steve is sorely missed in the AI era, he was one of the only real humanist-optimist leaders at the very top of tech and business.
It never seemed to be only about winning or money or domination for him (though those things likely played a big role).
Remarkably he was a technologist who actually understood culture! Where we end up without him is a colder, dumber and more financialized version of tech.
There’s hope, often in design teams and remaining humanist leaders like Jony. I also see *some* of this in the EA movement, but it’s often so intertwined with doom and perceived power seeking, the optimistic vision gets lost.
Anyway I’m rambling now - it would have been a gift to have him in this moment.
