Boris KretzingerJohn 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. <a href="https://youtu.be/4epAfU1FCuQ?si=1UfbbRESzBCm2yi7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/4epAfU1FCuQ?si=1UfbbRESzBCm2yi7</a><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AiResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AiResearch</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/johncarmack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#johncarmack</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atari</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari2600" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atari2600</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari2600plus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atari2600plus</a>

AndreasJohn 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. <a href="https://nomorecubes.net/2025/04/john-carmack-on-ai-tools/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nomorecubes.net/2025/04/john-carmack-on-ai-tools/</a>
