d if they are Dilbert fans but they don't care about the politics or the persuasion, then get the 2025 Dilbert calendar. Now the important thing is that the calendar is only available at a link you can find at Dilbert.com. The books are on Amazon, so if you want the book just search Amazon, they'll all pop up. But the calendar, I would get that right away because I can't guarantee that if you get…

All right. Reportedly Elon Musk is going to use his AI called xAI and do a little standalone app. So right now it only exists in X as Grok, but they're going to make their own standalone. As far as I can tell it seems way behind ChatGPT because Grok so far doesn't have images and it doesn't have the ability to talk to you. There's a lot it doesn't do.

So I mean it could happen quickly if they make some big change, I suppose, but I don't know.
Meanwhile the oceans cooled the planet more than we thought, but also according to new research. So it turns out that the ocean gives off some kind of sulfur gas and that hadn't been totally understood. And that sulfur gas cools the climate more than previously thought. So what they're doing is they're going back to all their climate models and now they're using this new knowledge about the sulfur that's coming out of the ocean and how it cools things to modify their models.
Now here's an interesting question. Why do they need to modify the models? I've been told quite reliably that 98% of all scientists say the models are telling us enough of what we need to know. I mean nothing's perfect, but they're telling us enough of what we need to know that we can

put trillions and trillions of dollars into it. So why do we need to fix the models? I thought you told me the models already worked because you asked me for trillions of dollars. So why do I have a new story every single day about a new variable that they didn't know about that's very large, and so they're incorporating it into the models? Any of you who have lived in the real world as long as I…
