Someone posts on X, "These are Ilya’s 30 papers", gives no source, doesn't say where he got it from, and isn't connected to either Ilya or Carmack (Ilya gave him the list).

Then someone vibe codes a barely usable website based on that, and it lands on the HN front page? Is this correct?

First year CS student excited to learn about a thing puts together a small website of academic papers, posts it to HN to share with others.

Then someone makes a shitty comment. Is that correct?

Compiled resources for nerds are catnip. Hit that bookmark/upvote button to never get to it :)

they kind of mention the source on their website though

" rumoured list of papers that Ilya Sutskever gave to John Carmack. "
