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 Meetless

MLA watches your Claude Code and Codex sessions, captures decisions as work happens, detects stale or conflicting instructions, and steers each agent before it acts. You review only the changes that require human judgment. I needed control over what my own agents remembered before their work became my codebase. I watched them lose decisions across sessions, revive approaches I had already rejected, and cross boundaries I had already made explicit. It was that the agent could not tell which information still had authority.
