I don't disagree that our culture gives us a lot.

To use ML terms -- Humans have "Foundation Models" which are composed of: - Their Biological makeup - The culture into which they are raised

I'm not even talking about culture. DNA is only useful because the laws of physical reality are built a certain way. Without that context the information within DNA is meaningless.

Well sure but couldn't the same thing be said about a computer program?

A good analogy is perhaps a config file for a computer program.

My interpretation is that Carmack is essentially confusing a config file for the computer program itself, then saying "look how small it is, this shouldn't be that hard to reverse engineer".
