I'm a huge fan of Carmack and read the book (Masters of Doom) multiple times and love it, too. But he's a legend for pioneering PC gaming graphics in a way that was feasible for a single (very talented) person to accomplish, and was also pioneering something that already existed on consoles. I think there's a big leap from very cleverly recreating existing very basic and simple 3d graphics for a new platform versus the massive task that is AGI/ASI, which I don't think is something a single person can meaningfully move forward at this point. Even the big jump we got from GPTs was due to many many people.

Current models are lossy databases at this point. Carmack looks like he might be trying to get logical reasoning to work (learning something abstract in one context and applying it to a similar context). That is something that would advance the field significantly and may be possible with a small team of researchers.
