📚 IlyaPapers - The Collection

In 2020, Ilya Sutskever shared with John Carmack a reading list containing 40 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’

Only 27 papers made it into the viral copy of the list; the rest were reportedly lost to Meta's e-mail deletion policy.

Taro Langner's investigation collects clues about the missing items, and this site aims to rebuilding the catalog from primary sources, while decreasing friction. 🏂
