> Ilya Sutskever genuinely believed it

Seems more like an incredibly embarrassing belief on his part than something I should be crediting.

If someone working on early computer networks thought they could scale up world wide and that soon everyone people would be launching trillion dollar companies on the internet you would have called that delusion right?

He doesn't need to be right but it's not crazy at all to look at super human performance in DOTA and think that could lead to super human performance at general human tasks in the long run
