The famed game developer John Carmack is a skilled software engineer who has lent his talents to space and virtual reality technology in the past. Allying with AI pioneers, he now hopes to crack the code of general-purpose AI. Read the new @bismarckanlys Brief (link below): https://t.co/Oryy5PLkrJ
Carmack is a hero both to many programmers as well as older gamers due to his work as a technical director at the company behind games like Doom and Quake in the 1990s. Carmack is seen as singlehandedly dragging computer gaming into the modern era of fast-paced 3D graphics. https://t.co/fYGeYbB10w
Carmack is independently wealthy and has notably self-consciously used his position to try advancing technology in other domains. He launched a rocket company contemporaneously with SpaceX and played a key role in helping Palmer Luckey and Meta bring virtual reality to market. https://t.co/0DW4iUV6aj
Since 2022, even before the release of ChatGPT, Carmack has been working on the holy grail of AI, figuring out the algorithms for an artificial general intelligence (AGI). He has raised millions of dollars and has partnered with a pioneering AI scientist, Rich Sutton. https://t.co/OBVDj86LkS

@SamoBurja The funny thing is this started 6 years ago at least. https://t.co/x1UXn9Znzt
My machine learning education has progressed to the point where I lose sleep tossing around a “brilliant” idea, only to find the next day that it doesn’t actually work. This is great! I talked about this a few years ago: https://t.co/OtyBlXrkkN
@SamoBurja "I am not a madman for saying that it is likely that the code for artificial general intelligence is going to be tens of thousands of lines of code, not millions of lines of code." [AUG 2022] https://t.co/vamHksKwPL https://t.co/zA5WS8Z77M
@Plinz Not a systematic review but John Carmack has discussed his prediction of a slow take off on the Lex Fridman Podcast and elsewhere. I'm paraphrasing but be said something along the lines of 5g being a bottle neck and limits to GPU capacity that we'll have control of.
