A hundred dictators is still better than a hundred and one dictator. When one approached a difficult task, it's better to divide it into smaller tasks.

This difficulty to believe it's actually quite fundamental to what's happening.

If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)

I'm not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides.
