Quite impressive how many AI companies Daniel Gross has had a hand in lately. Carmack, this, lots of other promising companies. I expect him to be quite a big player once some of these pays off in 10 years or so.

  > John Carmack, the game developer who co-founded id Software and served as Oculus’s CTO, is working on a new venture — and has already attracted capital from some big names. > Carmack said Friday his new artificial general intelligence startup, called Keen Technologies (perhaps a reference to id’s “Commander Keen“), has raised $20 million in a financing round from former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Cue founder Daniel Gross. https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/19/john-carmack-agi-keen-raises-20-million-from-sequoia-nat-friedman-and-others/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/19/john-carmack-agi-keen-rais...

Good for him honestly, but I’m not approaching a company with Daniel Gross in leadership…, working with him back at Apple after their company was acquired for Siri improvements was just terrible.

  A member of the Lee Kuan Yew fanclub milieu is a dickhead? I'm surprised.

  Is there more you can share, or point to? Sounds like he might become an important player soon and it'd be helpful for people to learn what they can.
