it seems quaint to dunk on Jobs now...he seems like a saint in comparison, in light of Mao Zedong-style mass-murder-by-policy from the current crop of tech industry CEOs.

Do we have mass murdering CEOs now? What did I miss?

Don’t forget the child porn generator.

Jobs was a terrible person on a personal level, all the other tech CEOs are terrible people on a societal level.

Just from afar, I'd imagine someone like Zuckerberg is terrible all around. Are there any stories of him doing anything for the greater good?

When someone is long dead, what is the point in one-sided accusations about their character?

Except it compensates for the one sided praising of the guy.

I would not say Steve Jobs received only praise during his life or after his death.

My go to example for this is Saint Cyril.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_of_Alexandria

He is a canonized saint of Catholicism and revered as a virtuous defender of Christianity. More evidence based history instead indicates he was a narcissist primarily motivated to elevate himself politically in Alexandria which included wide spread murder and the destruction of the greatest intellectual institution the world had ever seen.

Some people just want to see the world burn, destroy culture etc.

Some culture touchpoints are based on misinformation. It's usually moral to point out historic inaccuracies and to portray humans as they are.

That article cites nothing other than someone's model. There is no hard evidence in what you linked.

I think Zuckerberg is just wet. We've not seen his final form yet.

Musk is malevolent and Theal is a malevolent shit, but has the ability to be discrete about it.
