But a lot of people are saying, you know, this is a pretty good AI and it works, you know, what the responses they're getting from this AI app aren't so different from some of the big Western companies. And of course, that's also causing some shockwaves amongst those Western companies.
I mean, I think the first thing is, you know, the measures, the tests that have been done so far, you know, we're taking the companies, the Chinese app developers' word for it. But I think one of the things that's very striking about the claims they've made is the amount of money they've spent on training this. They've talked about $6 million.

Well, the big Western companies spent billions training AI models. So I think there's quite a concern amongst investors in those companies that the AI race, if you like, between the West and China... is a lot closer than they might have thought. It's certainly true that the US government has over the years attempted to stop the flow of high technology to China.

Again, if the stats, if the company's claims about this being almost as good or as good in some cases as the top Western models, if those pan out, it raises questions about how effective China those restrictions on, say, the export of advanced chips have been, or whether, in fact, these have encouraged some clever innovation.

Well, we should start, I suppose, in L.A. That's the most recent of our stories. And, you know, here we do get a lot of variability in our weather from one year to the next. And actually, the last couple of years, 2022 and 2023, were wet years in California. What this did is actually created pretty good conditions for vegetation to grow.

Now, normally in Los Angeles County, we get most of the rain falling between October and April in a typical year. This year in Los Angeles, well, between May 2024 and now, they've had just four millimetres of rain. So they've had barely anything and that's led to severe drought conditions.
