Following up on “John Carmack gives up on aerospace” and hopefully not followed up by “John Carmack gives up on AI”. I like the guy as much as most, but so far it seems like he has been wandering around. He’s had much success in the early days of 3D video games and that’s about it. A guy of his calibre would probably make a good impact if he joined one of the expert teams like DeepMind. No matter how smart he is, AI today is a completely different ballgame then what he was part of so far. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see him making any sort of breakthrough on his own, with his son. Maybe he wants to spend more time with his family, which is great, or he drank koolaid about his own legend. Odds are against him, heavily so. Good luck, in any case.
