After some googling, it seems like this list is plausible, although not confirmed: https://github.com/dzyim/ilya-sutskever-recommended-reading?tab=readme-ov-file

What would an actualized list look today ?

I'm asking since I'm taking a similar direction to Carmack (with maybe 1% of his talent and skills, but hey it's all about the journey !) in that I don't intend to work on improvement existing models, which I also believe are a road to nowhere, but rather understand things from the ground up, and maybe figure out 'something different' at the end.
