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 underfoot
Apple and Google swap the AI models inside your phone with OS updates. underfoot freezes one prompt suite, captures every OS build's answers, and publishes exactly what moved. Once a build is superseded, its model can never be measured again: every trace below is history that cannot be re-taken. All 140 macOS runs succeeded and every prompt returned byte-identical output across its 5 greedy runs, including the creative canaries (the haiku never varied). Any future change on this platform is the OS's doing, not sampling noise.
