Back in the 1990s, I used to drive past the office tower in Mesquite Texas where the offices of id Softtware were located on our way to church on Sunday morning. The parking lot was usually empty except for a Ferrari, which I assumed belonged to Carmack. I figured he was the only one working early Sunday morning.
I like John Carmack, he's a very clear thinker. Here's him on his new AI company: https://dallasinnovates.com/exclusive-qa-john-carmacks-different-path-to-artificial-general-intelligence/
He seems to be taking the Pablo approach — taking time, throwing things and seeing what sticks.
Bonus tidbit from the article, apparently Twitter runs on 20 million lines of Scala 😂
