It’s AGI. So far everyone’s track record is nonexistent.

No. The parent comment said "AI Research".

If you want "AGI" so badly, you certainly need to have an "AI research" background and a track record. Can't achieve your "AGI" without that.

Given that Carmack has a close to zero track record in this research, it makes total sense for him to partner with someone that does.

Can I ask, what makes you so confident on that? For all I know (which is admittably not much), current AI may be going to a direction completely orthogonal to achieving AGI.

The current trend in AI isn't all of AI, and any kind of work with the goal of producing AGI would definitionally be classified as AI.

We don't know how to achieve AGI. So screwing around with LLM might not be anything close to the process to achieve AGI.
