Just like Elon.

I much prefer quiet genius of Carmack to loud self-promoting Hotz - he strikes me as a bit of BS artist but is also talented.

Carmack is working on cracking AGI, and he really thinks he might be able to make the leap that escaped others so far - but he will work on it and show something impressive like DOOM or admit it failed like Armadillo.

In the meantime, no twitch, tweets or YouTube going off on tangents.

Carmack is a very self-assured genius, but also seems to have humility or at least an ultra-objective focus that keeps him glued to technical matters rather than playing up his own mystique.
