I have no horse in the race regarding who _should_ be emulated. But Jony Ive is maybe the single most famous designer to live, so I’m certain people look up to him for that at the very least. Actually I don’t think I can even name another “designer“. Does Andy Warhol count? Maybe Frank Lloyd Wright?

Dieter Rams. Apple copied loads of his designs.

You should know at least about Dieter Rams if you know Ive.

#6 When Ive transitioned Apple from Scott Forstall's skeuomorphic richness to the spare simplicity of iOS 7's flat design, he wasn't just updating an interface. He was teaching the world a new visual language

#7I'm sorry, this article reads like AI slop.
It has all the hallmarks: grandiose writing ("everything changed"), the classic "It wasn't X, it was Y" (about five times in the first minute of reading the article), undue emphasis on symbolism...
All those indicators are coupled with an unpleasant level of obsession with how statistical models are "a new kind of mind"—even after claiming to "strip away the hype cycle".

#8As a reader, the overuse of "not this, but that" in this article was particularly painful. Which is ironic in an article about a designer who deeply cared about aesthetics.

I don't know, I get flashbacks to Windows 3 and early MacOS on the "new" display design. Amazingly, it looks a lot like the effect of rendering a black and white icon on an LCD display, such as with an early powerbook.

#10> We are shifting, rapidly and irreversibly, from a world defined by pixels and layouts to a world defined by weights, prompts, context, and policies.
Such confidence. Just like web 3.0 bros.
a) nothing is irreversible; b) nothing is rapid — just get outside your bubble into the real world.
