But with link de-boosting turned off and the kind of repositioning of the, you know, American left to basically be less woke and, you know, there's more I can say about that, but

they are now trying to occupy some of, I shouldn't say the center again, that's not exactly right, but let's say facts that Republicans don't want to publish, right?

For example, facts about the war or things like that, right?

Now, boom, look, their distribution has come back, right?

And so the tactics that worked five years ago, like going direct, we do want to still use them.

Don't get me wrong.

It is important to speak for oneself and so on and so forth.

We don't just want to go direct.

We want to prove correct.

Okay, that's the new, that's the next five years.

Why?

What happened in that intermediate era in 2022 to 2026?

AI.

And look, there's a lot of good about AI, but there's a lot of bad about AI.

And if I love AI, I also hate AI.

Why?

I love AI because when, you know, I've got a rule, it's called no public undisclosed AI.

What that means is private use of AI for search, for code, when you're not trying to bamboozle somebody, not trying to get one over on somebody, fine, good.

It's great for research, all that kind of stuff.

Awesome.
