Ask HN: What were the papers on the list Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack?
John Carmack's new interview on AI/AGI [1] carries a puzzle:
“So I asked Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist, for a reading list. He gave me a list of like 40 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’ And I did. I plowed through all those things and it all started sorting out in my head.”
