Carmack built rockets and id bought $100Ks of NeXT machines to make Doom so I wouldn't put it past him to have incredible amounts of hardware... even at home. Considering his position at Facebook and that he is industry famous he probably has access to data and cloud resources that a researcher outside of OpenAI, Nvidia, Google, etc. normally wouldn't have access to. He could also raise money relatively easily to pursue more intense research.
- drcode 7y agoWhat would be awesome is if he just said one day "I need 100 million dollars for my AGI project to buy hardware, anyone who wants to share in a 20% cut of the business just send funds to bitcoin address ### or ethereum address ###". He would be fully funded within an hour, probably. Unfortunately that could never happen because of the SEC.
- VikingCoder 7y agoJohn Carmack could set up a Patreon for us to watch him vlog his progress, and could earn more than most of us ever will.
- Nuzzerino 7y agoWasn't this already done by Goertzel's SingularityNET? They raised $36 million in 66 seconds (note: I don't recommend trying this).
