INT. ELEGANT DRAWING ROOM - DAY

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, a vivacious and independent-minded woman, sits at a beautifully set tea table, pouring tea into delicate cups. DONALD TRUMP, an aloof and enigmatic gentleman, enters the room, dressed in a refined suit.

EMMA (AOC)
(raising an eyebrow)
Mr. Darcy, I must say, I find your manners quite puzzling. You often seem to be in disagreement with the world around you.

MR. DARCY (TRUMP)
(arrogantly)
Miss Woodhouse, I am not one to mince words. I speak my mind, and if that puts me at odds with society, so be it. I don't believe in pandering or sugarcoating the truth.

EMMA
(teasingly)
Ah, but Mr. Darcy, there is a difference between speaking your mind and being obstinate. Sometimes, a little tact and empathy can go a long way.

MR. DARCY
(defensively)
I am a man of action, Miss Woodhouse. I have built an empire through sheer determination and strength. I don't have time for frivolous niceties.

EMMA
(sincerely)
But surely, Mr. Darcy, there is more to life than accumulating wealth and power. It is important to consider the well-being and happiness of others.

MR. DARCY
(sternly)
Happiness is a subjective matter. People should strive for success and take responsibility for their own lives. I've seen the world, and it's a competitive place. Survival of the fittest, as they say.

EMMA
(smiling)
Ah, but you forget, Mr. Darcy, that we are not solitary beings in this world. Our actions and decisions impact those around us. It is our duty to lift each other up and create a society that values compassion and fairness.

MR. DARCY
(grudgingly)
You have a way with words, Miss Woodhouse. But I still believe that personal responsibility and ambition should be the driving forces in one's life.

EMMA
(gently)
I understand your perspective, Mr. Darcy, but I cannot help but see the potential for greatness in a world where we collaborate and support one another. Our differences can be our strength, not a hindrance.

MR. DARCY
(reluctantly)
Perhaps, Miss Woodhouse, there is some truth to what you say. Society can benefit from unity and compassion. But forgive me if I remain skeptical of such lofty ideals.

EMMA
(lightly)
Oh, Mr. Darcy, I shall not give up on you so easily. I believe that even the most steadfast hearts can be swayed by the power of love and understanding.

They share a knowing smile, a glimmer of understanding passing between them.

INT. DIMLY LIT CABIN - NIGHT

DONALD TRUMP, a grizzled and cocky survivor, stands amidst scattered debris and overturned furniture. His trusty SIDEKICK, a wise-cracking companion, leans against the wall, armed with a shotgun.

TRUMP
(shaking his head)
You wouldn't believe it, pal. These Deadites just keep getting worse. We got a whole new class of 'em now, the "losers." They're like regular Deadites, but with a real sad sack attitude.

SIDEKICK
(raising an eyebrow)
Losers, huh? Sounds like they're just begging for a beating. What makes 'em so special?

TRUMP
(grinning)
Well, these losers were once ordinary folks, but they've become so bitter and defeated that they've turned into losing losers. Instead of terrorizing people with chainsaws and axes, they just complain and whine about how unfair life is.

SIDEKICK
(laughing)
Deadites with a bad attitude? Now that's something I never thought I'd hear. So, what's the plan, Don? How do we take 'em down?

TRUMP
(cocking his shotgun)
We need to confront 'em head-on, my friend. These losers feed off negativity, so we gotta hit 'em where it hurts - with a dose of pure confidence and success. Show 'em what it means to be a winner.

SIDEKICK
(nodding)
I like the way you think, Don. We'll give 'em a taste of their own medicine. No more moping around. It's time to kick some loser Deadite ass.

TRUMP
(smiling)
That's the spirit! We'll blast 'em with our one-liners and send 'em packing. These losers won't know what hit 'em when we unleash the power of our winning attitudes.

SIDEKICK
(raising his shotgun)
Alright, Don, let's go show these losers who's boss. We'll make sure they regret ever crossing paths with the dynamic duo of sad-sack slayers.

They exchange a determined nod, ready to face the horde of loser Deadites head-on.

@Jon that's just the extreme case. A small app can easily grow way faster than ChatGPT, if you measure relative growth.

Sure, I was going to mention small number anomalies too. Again for Ax. Are you proud?

My point is that your question makes no sense.

Jon

It makes perfect sense if one ignores such trivialities, which everyone else knew to do.

Klaus

No, it's like asking: what's the largest number? It's not anomalies; it's a continuous spectrum. Even if a blue chip stock raises by 5000%, there will always be smaller stocks that raise more.

Jon

Since every app goes through infinite growth from 0-1 it is clear to everyone here but you that we’re talking about mass take up among vast numbers of users. In the days of ubiquitous smart phones, Reuters doesn’t write articlees, UBS doesn’t write reports, and CNBC doesn’t run segments about apps that grow from 200 to 250 in an hour.

Klaus

You really want to trash this out, don't you?

Adding the word "absolute growth" to your question would have made it way more sensible.

Doctor Phibes

This round of 'Spot the German' has been brought to you by the letters ß and Ü, and the word 'schadenfreude'.
