Wow

This is massive, Rich is probably the singular guy that legitimately has a realistic and long term vision for AGI (and has been mostly correct his whole career)

Notably he left the US because he did not want to support the Iraq war and established Alberta as THE reinforcement learning hub since then. Also he did just expand the lab so I'm curious how this will be integrated.

Carmack + Sutton working on AGI tells me it is 100% going to happen.

It’s amazing how one person can make a relatively unknown place a hub in an academic field.

Makes me really think that sometimes the great man theory has merit.

Yeah but if it's anything like the oculus it will take valve or htc to actually make it wow.

Having watched the announcement the (literally) singular question that was presented was essentially "Why should the man on the street care about AGI now?", to which the answer was "They shouldn't". But key to that answer was Carmack's assertion that Keen will probably never release a "product" like ChatGPT that aims to specifically wow people, that's not Keen's goal.

Weird take on ChatGPT.

Why do you think is that a weird take on ChatGPT?
