Calling Carmack a credible expert is a bit rich. He claims to have read a handful of papers. He's yet to do any significant, successful work in the field.

- didntreadarticl 4y agoWell no one else was answering bbor's question and I think Carmack is a fairly credible person in tech in general. He claims to have read a handful of papers. 40 is more than a handful. OpenAI tried to recruit him he asked them to recommend papers: And he gave me a list of like 40 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’ And I did. If Carmack says he studied a paper, I dont take that to mean that he merely scrolled through it while sitting on the loo. I think he's pretty serious. Oculus tech used a lot of AI for visual tracking of hands etc, its not like Carmack is just blundering his way into this. He announced this was his next thing back in 2019
