I love reading stories about Steve Jobs at NeXT. He had been fired from Apple and wasn't on the winning team but he was still fighting to build great products.

I love reading stories about Steve Jobs at NeXT. He had been fired from Apple and wasn't on the winning team but he was still fighting to build great products. I know he's a controversial figure but he did great things. Personally I find that Steve at NeXT is far more relatable than post iPhone Steve.

Heard a lot of story and this about him talk to the story guy about his wife passing away. Can’t imagine it happened in Steve I. It is cruel to say the best thing happen to Beethoven is his deaf. And Steve his being fired. But life service you lemon and sometimes it is the good thing. Less arrogance as he was quoted to say.

      Or a person. We're achieving human-level AI by keeping AI where it is and bringing human intelligence down.

        It's an alternate solution to the Turing test, but it is a valid solution.

    Probably just not English-as-a-first-language. GPT3 will typically have great grammar/spelling but nonsense meaning, but if you allow for slightly odd or near-correct word choice, the gp comment is pretty clear.

      Yeah it’s like the inverse. A bot would never draw an analogy between Beethoven’s deafness and Jobs’s firing, but then say “life service you lemons”.

        GPT-3 would surprise you, I feel like you could get it to make analogies, which is kind of frightening.

Here is a rare instance of Steve Jobs actually backing down from an argument... with Paul Rand, over the specific shade of yellow used on the letter 'e' in the NeXT logo: https://www.fastcompany.com/3056684/remembering-the-design-legacy-of-steve-jobss-other-great-computer-company https://www.fastcompany.com/3056684/remembering-the-design-l...
