The pair calculate the figure in different ways, with Anthropic including the revenue from sales via cloud partners such as AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not.

A screenshot of a news article from the Daily Star titled "History's most deadly plagues ranked – from Black Death, Spanish flu to Covid-19," updated on October 7, 2026.
The subheadline notes that a suspected Siberian lab-linked pneumonic plague outbreak and a 200-person quarantine have reignited interest in history's deadliest pandemics.

I think the problem is gonna be the "all or nothing" voter. They want a candidate that supports everything they do or they wont vote at all, 8 out of 10 policies is not good enough for them. This is how Republicans get elected in the first place, their supporters forgive "a lot" and still vote.
