there's no "software" alone that can create an AGI. It's going to take a mix of really powerful hardware, high speed interconnects, and software coming together

there's no "software" alone that can create an AGI. It's going to take a mix of really powerful hardware, high speed interconnects, and software coming together to do something anywhere close to what sentient (human) beings can do. Life isn't (yet) star trek and carmack isn't noonian soong. Current approx say the human brain is ~10^15 flops, there are only a few of these supercomputers in this regime, with only Summit reaching into the exaflop regime. Carmack would need full access to all of any of the petaflop machines. What he'll probably come up with instead is probably some new good algorithms for making things look like AGI.
