It's really incredible he went through such a long period in the wilderness with nobody paying much attention to him. He was mostly forgotten and alone until Apple makes a decision, based on desperation, to bring him back. He comes back literally like a phoenix, bringing everything he had learned and meditated on in his time away and turned Apple around into the greatest company on Earth.

I wonder what he'd make of AI? I wonder what he would have done with it. I hope he would have been more forward-thinking than Cook and wouldn't be begging his rivals to let him use their technology.

Apple has really dropped the ball on AI in the same way that Microsoft dropped the ball on the Internet in the mid-90s.
