John Carmack vaihtoi jälleen uransa suuntaa

VR Awards palkitsi hiljan Oculuksen teknologiapomo John Carmackin Lifetime Achievement Awardilla. Carmack aikoo kuitenkin jälleen muuttaa uransa suuntaa, sillä hän on jatkossa vain konsultoiva teknologiapomo ("Consulting CTO"). Asiasta kertoi Facebook. Carmack aikoo seuraavaksi yleisen tekoälyn suuntaan ("artificial general intelligence" eli AGI).

"As for what I am going to be doing with the rest of my time: When I think back over everything I have done across games, aerospace, and VR, I have always felt that I had at least a vague "line of sight" to the solutions, even if they were unconventional or unproven. I have sometimes wondered how I would fare with a problem where the solution really isn't in sight. I decided that I should give it a try before I get too old."
