Seems to be following firmly in the footsteps of Elon - starts working at twitter, makes big claims (I&#x27;m going to fix twitter search), immediately shows he&#x27;s out of his depth (Asks for <i>other</i> people to fix twitter search and send him the code MIT licensed) and then gets angry at everyone else when they laugh at this absurd turn of events, gets so angry he then starts bad mouthing the last <i>decade</i> of innovation in the tech industry, fully in the knowledge that time period covers the entire time period his own company operated. It&#x27;s like our own mini-Elon.

And he&#x27;s immediately asking for people on Twitter to write the code for him: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;realGeorgeHotz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1595270867402956801?s=20&amp;t=gIzP4tUA16iRvZut75KJXQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;realGeorgeHotz&#x2F;status&#x2F;159527086740295680...</a>

Geohot had this weird mystique that was pretty appealing when it looked like he was building really interesting things better than (or as good as) large corporations. He should have stayed put because now he looks very average. Makes me feel better about myself but I really did think this guy was special.

Just like Elon.<p>I much prefer quiet genius of Carmack to loud self-promoting Hotz - he strikes me as a bit of BS artist but is also talented.<p>Carmack is working on cracking AGI, and he really thinks he might be able to make the leap that escaped others so far - but he will work on it and show something impressive like DOOM or admit it failed like Armadillo.<p>In the meantime, no twitch, tweets or YouTube going off on tangents.

So he’s culture war-baiting now and making questionable claims about tech history. Guess his internship is going well, he’s learning to tweet like the big man himself!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;realgeorgehotz&#x2F;status&#x2F;1595677280449089536" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;realgeorgehotz&#x2F;status&#x2F;159567728044908953...</a>

is this guy a troll? so he&#x27;s playing a character? i know he&#x27;s very smart and talented, but i can&#x27;t tell if he&#x27;s serious on twitter or a troll in his thoughts.
