About Ilya Sutskever's 30 Papers

Explore the deep learning reading list Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack, with free audio explainers for AlexNet, ResNet, Transformers, scaling laws, and more. These courses, books, and code-heavy pieces do not currently have a ListenDock audio episode. When legendary game programmer John Carmack decided to move into AI, he asked OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever what he should read. Ilya handed him a list of around thirty works and said that learning them would cover 90% of what matters in modern deep learning.

About Vostorq

VOSTORQ gives teams a dedicated place for discussions too important for chat and too dynamic for static documentation. Some discussions are too important to disappear into a channel. VOSTORQ gives decisions, proposals, debates, and long-running conversations a structured home, with persistent Topics, searchable context, and AI Agents that help turn discussion into company knowledge. Documents are useful for polished answers, but they rarely preserve the discussion, debate, and tradeoffs behind them. Email is useful for direct communication, but important context gets trapped in private inboxes and forwarded chains.
