Oculus Rift’s John Carmack is stepping down from his role as CTO of the VR company to try something new: artificial general intelligence, which he says is “possible, enormously valuable, and...I have a non-negligible chance of making a difference there.”

QuakeCon is moving to July this year—Bethesda's annual convention, usually held in August, will instead take place from July 17-20 in Dallas. No word on whether Doom creator John Carmack, usually the premiere speaker, will be on stage now that he no longer works for Id.
