🚨 Breaking news! 🚨 John Carmack has discovered time travel and gone back to lament his 'mistakes' with #Quake. Apparently, using the Doom engine would have saved us from the technical apocalypse...or maybe just a few headaches. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, the real issue was the rugpulling, not the brilliant-yet-baffling 6DOF dreams. 🙄

I have been studying this interview with John Carmack, for years now. In the past month I must've played through it at least a dozen times. It's such a treasure trove. I think programmers specifically will find it enrichibg, but also everyone who's working on computer games.
Do as I do: download this and listen to it over and over. Week after week I discover new layers to this conversation. #JohnCarmack #LexFridman #GameDev #Programming

> #Meta, once a leader in #AIresearch

I'm sorry, but how were they a leader? I mean, were they ever a leader in anything other than having the biggest #SocialNetwork at some point?

Yeah they did #VR stuff, with #HorizonWorlds, but Horizon never really took off, and I'm not really sure that the #Occulus counts when it's an aquihire and #JohnCarmack left after they wouldn't let him keep expanding. Same with #AI, they did some stuff, but I don't remember it ever being like, the "big thing in AI".

I'm pretty sure #Zuckerburg got richer than his parents off of this #SocialNetworking thing, realized that having a bunch of users doesn't actually pay a bunch of money, and is now struggling to figure out how to turn those financed assets into profits.

John Carmack (Doom, Quake, that virtual reality headset - you know the man) talks about AI, AGI and why training with classical Atari 2600 games is a great way for the ghost in the machine to learn. I did not expect this and thought that AI playing Atari was "done" (i.e.: solved, no need to look into that further) some years ago actually. But as it turns out: There is still more to it. Listen to his talk here, well worth your time if you are fascinated by AI and have a passion for Atari and vintage gaming in general.

John Carmack on AI Tools

Tooling ist für jedes Produkt wichtig, aus Gründen die im Produktmanagement häufig übersehen oder ignoriert werden. John Carmack hat sich vergangene Woche in die Debatte um KI eingebracht, nachdem Microsoft sein Quake von 1996 mit KI in Copilot gebracht hat. Das habe ich mir als Anlass genommen um mir Gedanken über die Notwendigkeit von Tools zu machen.

NEU bei VSG: Ich bin mit modernen Spielen wie Fortnite, Valorant, Apex oder Warzone aufgewachsen. Doch vor einiger Zeit habe ich eine komplett neue Welt für mich entdeckt: die Welt der Retrospiele! Vielleicht fragt ihr euch jetzt, warum ich als Jugendlicher Retrospiele spiele, die schon Jahrzehnte älter sind als ich. Genau darum geht es in meinem Beitrag.
