"Smart"? Have you read his writings in the last decade? It's all nonsense, which is why I stopped reading circa 2018

I think he’s still generally good on business, UX, and hardware design. That’s all subjective and taste I suppose, but his taste works for me.

On deeper tech stuff, like this utterly nonsensical misunderstanding of watermarks… yeah, classic case of a guy who is smart, and has lost the ability to realize when they’re not knowledgeable in a domain.
