Hi ! The "artistic direction" is a bit original, but that's your thing, and you're free to present it anyway you want, of course !

I think the biggest problem people / I had when reading the list was the "based on a rumoured list of papers that Ilya Sutskever gave to John Carmack."

Where did you get the "rumoured list" from ? Why should a reader trust the rumours ? That seems to be a pretty big appeal to authority, and it's okay if it's only "word of mouth" (as most papers seems legit), but it's really weird not to give a source, or a backstory, or references, etc...

Especially since you claim to only have 27 ;)

The list came from a post on X by ex-OpenAI employee Andrew Carr. There are multiple lists floating around which is why I said rumoured. I found this to be a more credible source than others though given Sutskever's connection to OpenAI so I used it.
