📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Tues, Sept 1, 2026 Heads Up, we're still on track to release the next update of Photosets, v26.6, either just-before OR just-after the Labor Day weekend. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 6:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Mon, Aug 31, 2026 Between now & the Midterms, we're gonna encourage everyone on the Center-Right & Center-Left to become Constitutional Law experts ! For clarity, we of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coaltion believe: 1.) President Trump will try to OVER-throw the Midterms. And that that effort starts tomorrow ! 2.) The accelerating U.S. National Debt is the single-greatest threat to America. On a side note, President Trump is NOT qualified to give his two-cents regarding Data Centers ! Please see our AI & ML-related comments of earlier today. Also, here & now we want to add that it is Physical AI where China has its greatest technical lead over the U.S. Rather than approve a $1.5T USD Pentagon budget, we believe it makes alot more sense to approve a $1T USD Pentagon budget & devote $100B USD to educating American's on how-best to capitalize on the neoteric Physical AI opportunities. The important thing to know is that 99.9% of the ML Training & Verification Data needed for Physical AI has NOT yet been Captured & Collected, & thus also NOT yet properly-Annotated. This is where America's teens and young adults need Education. Off the radar of most, but should NOT be. For clarity here, we tried to do our part, but we were UN-able to circumvent Apple's stranglehold on App Discovery in their App Store. We blame Tim Cook & Phil Schiller.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Mon, Aug 31, 2026 FYI, as requested ... For clarity, simply intended to put each of our Business Unit activities into proper perspective. The important thing to know is that Apple's App Store Mgmt Team is Dumb, extremely Dumb. They've squandered multiple golden opportunites, with the latest being educating their customers on how-best to take the lead in Physical AI. And for those of you who are UN-aware, Physical AI does NOT require AI Data Centers to do its thing. As opposed to LLM-based AI, including AI Agents, which do. A reminder, we believe we are at OR near peak LLM-based AI (NO more FREE, publicly-available data), Agentic AI will flop (requires privileged access to do its thing), & that the neoteric Physical AI opportunites represents the near-future of AI & ML. Also for clarity, we believe CNBC has completely missed the boat regarding the prospects for AI & ML. We believe they should be focused on a ground-up approach,
addressing Domains & Applications/Use-Cases. That's the ONLY way, we believe, to figure-out just how much OVER-Hyped AI actually is. Which, to us, is somewhere in the 3x to 6x arena. Read that to mean AI & ML has its uses, but NO where close to where the AI Hype Machine believes it does.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Sun, Aug 30, 2026 We've made an important decision regarding our Auto Division. Specifically, we want it to specialize in converting 2006 325i E90 RWD Automatics to Manuals. For example, installing the Manual transmission, driveshaft, linkage, pedals, interior trim pieces, and 3.23 rear differential as a single cohesive unit from 2007-2011 328i E90 RWD Manual "donor cars". What to do with the 2006 Automatic transmissions, driveshafts, and 3.73 rear differentials is TBD. For clarity, we plan to sell these converted 2006 325i E90 RWD 6-speed Manual sedans for $25K-$30K USD. And that's naturally with our custom single-stage intake manifold and our custom Stage 1 tune. Here, we assume SB 1069 gets signed. Most will refer to our Auto Division as a "Boutique Restomod". But ONLY when they're NOT referring to our ML-based Alusil Reconditioning Service, which is our Crown Jewel. On a side note, the SEMA-backed Senate Bill SB 1069 just passed the California Legislature on Aug 27th, and is officially sitting on Governor Newsom's desk awaiting signature. If signed, it will completely disrupt the traditional, notoriously slow California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) approval bottleneck. The gist here, we'll be able to Capitalize almost-immediately with our Stage 1 solution, including here in California, which consists of our custom single-stage intake manifold & companion Stage 1 tune. Lots of details below if you have an interest. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 2:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Sun, Aug 30, 2026 We have a new "Range" Tech Spec for our Stage 1 solution: 413 miles at 85 mph ! For clarity, that's for a 2006 325i E90 6-speed Manual RWD sedan. Also for clarity, we consider it to be our Auto Division's "Top Overall" Tech Spec. We refer to it as our "Tesla Killer" Tech Spec ! Note that with 3.23 rear gearing and 245/40-17 rear tires, the 6th gear ratio (0.85) spins the engine at exactly 3,174 RPM at 85 mph. As such, it's 413 miles for Stage 1, 381 miles for Stage 2, & 397 miles for Stage 3. Note that with 3.73 (3.64) rear gearing and 245/40-17 rear tires, the 6th gear ratio (0.85) spins the engine at exactly 3,665 (3,577) RPM at 85 mph. And as such, we are NOT considering it. i.e., a rear differential swap.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 29, 2026 FYI, as requested ... The important thing to know is that we're (initially) focused on (just) the un-abused, lower-tier 25i & 3.0i 2006 N52B30-based BMWs here in the States. And, that we believe we're well-positioned to capitalize. Once we overcome ALL our technical challenges, it becomes simply a Logistics challenge. For clarity, Stage 1 is our solution for inside California, Stage 2 is our solution for outside California, while Stage 3 is strictly for Off-Road & the Track. Note that each of our custom tunes includes a 3% to 5% safety margin. i.e., to accommodate bad gas and/or high temps. Also for clarity, our moat is our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall reconditioning robot, Timmy. The car parts are simply the icing on the cake. BIG picture perspective, we believe we're well-positioned to be one of the very-first Physical AI success stories. Note that we're NO longer talking about how Photosets can be used to Capture & Collect ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases. We're keeping that in our back pocket for now. Once we Agree to Terms, we plan to make a BIG splash with it. Most have NO clue just how valuable Photosets is. But we believe we believe ALL will soon find out. Do NOT be surprised if Our Story results in a major shake-up of the AAPL Board. Tim should have never let a guy with NO Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise run the App Store.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 29, 2026 We've taken a giant step forward with our Auto Division within just the past 48 hours ! Some important reminders & key points: 1.) Our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall Reconditioning Robot "Timmy" is our Crown Jewel. You can think of it as the key part of our Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model. Customers will send us just their 40-lb crankcase, Timmy will Alusil service it, & we'll send it back. 2.) Regarding California State Bill SB 1069, we're moving forward with our Stage 1 solution. Inside California, that's what we'll be promoting to customers. 230+ hp at 6000 and 200+ lb-ft at 3000, and ONLY requires our custom single-stage intake. 3.) Outside California, we'll be promoting our Stage 2 solution. 245+ hp at 6250 and 215 lb-ft at 3500, and requires both our custom single-stage intake + MILVs. 4.) Our custom single-stage intake + companion Stage 1/2 tunes represent "the carrot". i.e., for customers to trust our Alusil service. For clarity here, our custom single-stage intake manifold + companion tunes are targeted strictly to 2006 E9x, E85, & E60 BMWs, whereas our Alusil service is targeted to every N52B30 on the planet. 5.) We hope to cut a deal with Apex for them to produce their
17.2 lb ARC-8 17x8.5 wheels in ET35 (in Anthracite). For clarity, they are for the E9x models. And we will recommend to our customers that they run PS4S 245/40-17 or 235/35-17 on them, ALL-around. The combination of our Engine Mods with these wheels & tires, & also the M3 front control arms for the E9x models, will transform the un-abused, lower-tier 25i E9x models into something magical. On a side note, today we want to publicly state that for some UN-known reason the Markets simply haven't yet caught-on that LLM-based AI is yesterday's news. We "suspect" CNBC (for Dummies) has alot to do with that. But we have NO proof of that. To us, it remains a BIG mystery. And because of that, we "may" go down in history as a trend setter. i.e., as one of the very first companies to succeed in the neoteric Physical AI market. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 28, 2026 Who OR What is most-Responsible for the current AI mess, & which is about to get much, much worse ? To us, the answer to that question is Crystal Clear, it's the Persian Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs). They're "Responsible for" ~50% of the late-stage AI infrastructure investments. We say they should be held "Accountable for" ~50% of the AI mess that's created by those investments. And we're NOT just talking about the here & now, because the shit has NOT yet hit the fan, but will soon. Make NO mistake, some serious brainstorming needs to be done to figure-out a good way out of the
(near-future) AI mess. For clarity, AI could have had a nice, controlled Roll-Out, instead we got a Free-for-ALL. And the problems will be compounded "significantly" by Agentic AI. To the Persian Gulf SWFs, we recommend you pull your investments until things settle out. Otherwise you risk becoming the pariah. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Thurs, Aug 27, 2026 We've updated the table to include the 2006 E85 Z4 3.0i roadster. We've also added curb weights to the table & rearranged the rows by curb weight. We've also crafted this newest table to help put things into perspective.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Thurs, Aug 27, 2026 Photosets is now spear-heading our educational campaign for Sept 1st to become "Carrington Event Awareness Day". Notice the significance of this Sept 1st. On a side note, we're on track to release the next update of Photosets, v26.6, either just-before OR just-after the Labor Day weekend. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 26, 2026 FYI, as requested ... The last column tells the story. The vast majority of our donor cars MUST be E90 Automatics. The flipside, we're gonna be able to cherry pick. Read that to mean we can probably obtain single-owner E90 Automatics. For clarity, we're intentionally keeping our distance from the 30i models. We suspect most, if NOT ALL, have been beat to shit. Review this table with the table from Sat, Aug 22, for the BIG picture perspective. Those sufficiently skilled in the art should immediately see the value proposition. Note here that we haven't even hinted at our Crown Jewel,
our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall Reconditioning Robot, Timmy. On a side note, today we'd just like to publicly state that we believe Apple should be Educating its Users about the importance of learning how to compete in Physical AI, which we're convinced represents the future of AI & ML. Instead of Agentic AI, which we're convinced will flop. Agentic AI requires "privileged access" to do its thing.
In other words, Agentic AI needs the keys to the castle.
And that Boys & Girls is Agentic AI in a nutshell. We believe it was a mistake for Salesforce to partner with Anthropic. And BTW, did you notice how little Jim Cramer understood the technical details ? We certainly did. That guy should NOT be commenting about AI & ML in ANY way shape OR form.Our short-list of BMW N52B30 sedans with the MSV70 ECU (RWD + the factory Sport Package) (table last updated 9 PM, Wed, Aug 26, 2026)

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 26, 2026 We may have just found the Dumbest Person on the Planet. Louisiana's Governor says he's "NOT concerned" about the environmental impacts of SpaceX's planned $100B USD Gulf Coast launch facility. Before today we were convinced it was our Def Sec. Who BTW, we believe will be forced to resign the day after the Midterms. Similar to Donald Rumsfeld, in Nov of 2006. What goes around comes around. For clarity here, President George W. Bush announced Rumsfeld's departure on November 8, 2006, one day after the Midterms in Nov 2006 resulted in heavy Republican losses tied to the Iraq War. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 5:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 26, 2026 Quick update regarding our Auto Division. For our pilot program, we're looking to acquire 15 BMW 2006 325i E90 RWD sport sedans with the N52B30, 6-speed Manual (OR 6-speed ZF Automatic), & factory Sport Package. We plan to upgrade them & sell them (here in California) via our Carvana-like for Enthusiasts business model. ● 0-60: 5.3 sec ● 1/4 mile: 13.7-13.8 sec at 100-101 mph ● Range: 400+ miles at 85 mph Each vehicle will receive our custom 340 mm / 2.7L plenum single-stage intake with progressively-tapered runners, our custom Stage 2 (245 hp at 6250 & 215 lb-ft at 3500) tune, & MILVs. Please see California State Bill SB 1069 for background. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Mon, Aug 24, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to list our top priorities for the week:
1.) While we made great progress over the weekend on our Breakthrough Discovery of Saturday, it still needs work.
First, "the Fix" is NON-trivial. Second, how-best to Capitalize on it is also NON-trivial. For clarity here, the Fix is specific to 2006 BMW N52B30 with the 6-speed Manual. Which aligns perfectly with the current state of our Auto Division's custom tunes& custom 3D-printed plenum work. See the first table below. 2.) Crafting a white paper that will help others better understand AI & ML and its prospects. At least as we see it. On a side note here, we believe CNBC (for Dummies) should be asking each of their guests who give their two-cents regarding AI & ML: "please describe to our Audience your most-advanced & most-innovative uses of AI & ML" We suspect 99% of them will choke on that ! 3.) Completing & mailing-off our Amicus Brief. 4.) Pushing for (every) Sept 1st to become "Carrington Event Awareness Day". Here we're gonna need the assistance of influential others to make this happen. Specifically, we're gonna ask Tim Cook to make a request to President Trump. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sun, Aug 23, 2026 Just within the last 1-2 days Apple Mgmt has step'd-up its pressure on Google Mgmt to divert attention away from our Photosets app whenever a Google search for it is initiated. We see that in Google search results. And for clarity, we want to point it out to the DoJ. And BTW, we Monitor & Record everything. NO ONE should be surprised if we are ultimately responsible for the break up of NOT just Apple's App Store monopoly, but also Google's search monopoly. And for clarity, we believe President Trump's Admin will side with us because we have a much more compelling case. Suppressing American innovation is one thing. Suppressing knowledge of where America's kids could successfully compete in AL & ML is something else entirely. And we're convinced most parents simply will NOT stand for it. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Sun, Aug 23, 2026 Yesterday, our Auto Division made a Breakthrough Discovery that changes everything for us. Here, think Game Changer potential ! We're gonna need a few days to figure-out how-best to play it. On a side note, today we'd like to point-out to potential Investors that Apple's "App Store kids" don't know the difference between LLM-based AI and Physical AI. OR that one requires Data Centers to work (LLM-based AI) and that the other does NOT (Physical AI). OR that one presents a Golden Opportunity for a career in AI & ML (Physical AI) and that the other does NOT (LLM-based AI). We intend to use that to our advantage. Including in our our pitch to President Trump. He needs to know ! And for clarity here, we blame Apple's Mgmt Team. They suck at educating America's kids. We've seen it firsthand with the 1/3 of Camera Tech in every iPhone that they've intentionally suppressed knowledge of. And now more-recently WRT AI & ML. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 6:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 Quick update to our last News Update. Our focus now is on Capitalizing on the Breakthrough. In every way possible. And we believe we are extremely well positioned to do so. Also, for clarity, this was NOT planned. It was just something that happened (out of the blue) today. Which, to us, makes it the best kind of Breakthrough Discovery. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 We made a major breakthrough today resolving excessive oil consumption on early high-mileage N52B30 BMWs with the 6-speed manual. Very-likely a first of its kind discovery ! i.e., it's very-likely NO ONE ELSE on the planet knows "the Fix". And for clarity, this changes everything ! Also, we believe we can apply "the Fix" to Automatics as well, but we have NOT yet verified it. Regardless, this is a BIGGIE ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 One more important thing to announce today. We're on track to mail our letter to Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Tues OR Wed. And for clarity, we're promoting it as an Amicus Curiae / Brief. i.e., latin for "Friend of the Court". Those who know Our Story know "precisely" why this has potential significance. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 One more important thing to announce today. A reminder, we're pursuing a CARB EO for our custom single-stage intake. One that will cover both our Stage 1 & 2 tunes. i.e., the two that keep the exhaust 100% stock. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 We've updated the requirements for our Stage 1 tune. We swap'd-out MILVs for our custom single-stage intake. We see it as a smarter business strategy. And for clarity, we will include ALL three of our custom tunes in the "Alusil bundle". Customers can decided if and when to install MILVs. Also, here's an update on our latest numbers for the Stage 2 setup. 0-60: 5.3 secs 1/4-mile: 13.7-13.8 secs at 100-101 mph For clarity here, our prototype 2006 325i E90 with 6-speed manual includes the airbox charcoal filter delete, BMC high-flow oiled air filter, & requires 17.2 lb Apex ARC-8 17x8.5 wheels with PS4S 245/40-17 tires in the rear, to acheive those numbers.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Sat, Aug 22, 2026 It's entirely possible that when Our Story becomes Common Knowledge over the next 20-30 days, it will bring down NOT ONLY Apple's App Store monopoly, but also Google's. Google should know better ! We're gonna bring the heat ! For clarity here, we believe we can prove a Fiduciary Duty violation by certain Apple BIG wigs. One that resulted in Apple leaving $113B+ USD of mostly high-end iPhone revenue on the table over the years, simply to cover up some of their screw ups. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 21, 2026 We want to clarify one very important point. Our decision to pivot Photosets to FREE is calculated. We believe it will help us recruit the Army of Users we're after for Capturing, Collecting, & properly Annotating ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases. Which we estimate to be a Billion Dollar Plus market opportunity. A reminder, 99.9% of the ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases has NOT yet been Captured, let alone Collected & properly Annotated. And for clarity, Bezos is the ONLY person we are aware of who gets it. NO ONE else on CNBC has ever mentioned ANY accurate details regarding Physical AI. At least NONE that we are aware of. Go Figure ! LLM is at OR near its peak, Agentic AI will fizzle, & Physical AI will soon ? become the Talk of the Town. But you wouldn't know that if you were watching CNBC (for Dummies) ALL day long. Hell, even Tim Cook doesn't know it. Because if he had, he would NOT have intentionally suppressed knowledge of Photosets. Also for clarity, we're convinced NO ONE in the Trump Admin knows it. But that should surprise NO ONE ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 21, 2026 As requested, our two-cents ... The telephoto would benefit from the upgrade more than the Ultra-Wide,
& as such, we think both get/got the Samsung 3-layer. On the flipside, if it's just the Ultra-Wide, then Photosets' value should go up, potentially significantly & potentially immediately, as it supports ONLY the Wide & the Telephoto & it's now a FREE app. For clarity here, our Marketing Dept plans to piggyback on whatever Apple says in Sept about Burst Photo Capture with their Next-Gen iPhones.

📌 BREAKING NEWS: 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 21, 2026 We've pivoted Photosets to FREE & we plan to keep it there ! For clarity, the change was requested by those considering an Equity Stake in our company, Cosmosent Labs, Inc. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 21, 2026 Quick update to our last update. We plan to bundle our ML-based Alusil service + our custom single-stage intake + our custom stage 2 & 3 tunes, and sell it for $10K USD above our parts cost. And for clarity, customers will ship us just their N52B30 crankcase, we will service it, and ship it back. And importantly, we will specify a 72-hour turn-around time. i.e., we will service it and ship it back within 72 hours. See the table below for reference on the intake & the tunes. On a side note, the ONLY way the U.S. National Debt starts to reverse is if the next Speaker of the House is a card carrying member of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition. Our coalition ! And for clarity here, the next Speaker does NOT need to be a member of Congress & should NOT be. That's our Save America Act ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Fri, Aug 21, 2026 As requested, Our Top Priorities (Fri, 8/21/26): Our ML-based Alusil service, our custom single-stage intake, our custom stage 2 & 3 tunes, and our Photosets app, in that order. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 10 PM (La Jolla-time) Thurs, Aug 20, 2026 Heads Up to those of you participating in our Auto Division's Pilot Program. The BOM for fully 3D-printed (two-piece modular) prototypes of our custom single-stage intake manifold is $1,115 USD. The 2.7L Plenum is $415 USD of the total. And BTW, the Runners have 4 mm walls, while the Plenum has 4.5 mm walls. Simply put, it is OVER-Engineered, & we are perfectly OK with that. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Thurs, Aug 20, 2026 Quick update regarding our Auto Division. We're trying to secure financing to turn it into our first-ever viable & credible Business. We had hoped Photosets would have become that, but that didn't happen. Specifically, our Auto Division will be rebuilding N52B30 short blocks, & pairing that with our custom single-stage intake manifold & our custom Stage 2 tune. And naturally, our ML-based Robot Timmy will be performing the key Alusil cylinder wall tasks. We're planning for 100 N52B30 short blocks per month. We intend to price the solution at $10K USD above our parts costs. And for clarity, we want our Auto Division to focus ONLY on where we provide "significant" value-add. From a high-level perspective, you can think of our solution as being similar to a Daily Driver version of the Porsche 911 Carrera S with MT Package. Also for clarity, there's nothing that prevents the solution from scaling-up to 100 Service Centers around the world, each processing 100 N52B30 short blocks per month. If you want to know how big the WW TAM is just ask Google's AI mode. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Thurs, Aug 20, 2026 Three things to announce: 1.) Just our two-cents, but we believe most of the guests on CNBC who give their two-cents regarding AI & ML are Fools, BIG-time Fools. We're convinced that even though they are 100% convinced they are right about where things are headed, we're 100% convinced they don't have a F%#king Clue. And that goes for some of the Regulars on CNBC as well. LLMs currently have ONE very good use case, as a Research Assistant in a field where the User is either already an Expert, OR is trying hard to become one. Whether Agentic AI will become a success OR NOT is still up in the air. We think it won't ! And simply because it requires "privledged access" to do its thing. We believe Physical AI represents the future of AI & ML. And here, 99% of the ML Training & Verification Data has NOT yet been captured, collected, & properly Annotated. To us, & outside of us, ONLY Bezos' Prometheus appears to have a good handle on where things are headed. For clarity here, Physical / Industrial AI is where the Chinese have their biggest lead over the U.S. It's UN-fortunate that President Trump and his Admin don't know that. 2.) Regarding Photosets, our focus is on building-up an Army of Users who specialize in capturing, collecting, & properly Annotating ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases. 3.) Regarding our Auto Division, our custom single-stage intake manifold is back on. Here, think 340 mm runners with a progressively-tapered runner design, & backed by a 2.7L plenum. Its been in Development for a number of months now. Our (2006 325i) Tech Spec Targets for Stage 2 0-60: 5.3 secs 1/4-mile: 13.7 secs at 101+ mph
See the table below for reference. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 19, 2026 We've updated our ML-based Physical AI Robot, Timmy, so that it can perform two tasks on N52B30 Alusil cylinder walls: 1.) Reconditioning, which is a complex honing/lapping/etching procedure with Sunnen AN-30 and felt pads. 2.) DE-glazing, which is DE-carbon clean-up task.
Those sufficiently skilled in the art should appreciate what we've accomplished. It is a very BIG deal. Bezos' Prometheus has nothing on us ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 19, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to specify "precisely" why we picked 2006 BMW E90 sport sedans with the N52B30 (with the factory single-stage intake manifold). 1.) BMW Product Planning & Marketing left alot of Performance on the table. By our count, 20 HP at 6250 rpm & (more-importantly) 30 lb-ft of torque at 2750 rpm. Those are BIG numbers for a vehicle that weights ~3300 lbs. 2.) Those are the ONLY BMWs that came with the MSV70 ECU. That makes our (initial) solution niche. 3.) Our prototype is a 2006 BMW E90 325i sport sedan with the 6-speed Manual. Our Founder custom-ordered it from BMW in the Summer of 2005. It was custom-ordered with just the factory Sport Package + black leather. It currently has 225K, mostly Daily Driver, miles on it. The Avg Comp is 192 PSI, & ALL six cylinders are in the 190-195 PSI range. It does have an excessive oil consumption problem. We've had the Valve Stem Oil Seals R&R'd, along with the Valve Springs & Lifters, plus the VANOS parts. The car runs well but uses alot of oil. At a Min, the engine needs new oil control rings & the pistons need to be thorougly cleaned, including the ALL-important oil drain holes. Whether the block's Alusil bores need to be reconditioned OR NOT is still TBD. There-in lies the biggest challenge if they do. And it is here that we address the issue with our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall reconditioning service. On a side note, President Trump is (clearly) oblivious to the obvious ! i.e., to what's important to most Americans. If you saw him speak today from the White House you know precisely what we're referring to. He needs to cool it with his vanity projects. And, even though the U.S. National Debt problem was In the News today, he didn't mention it even once ! Go Figure ! He's gonna go down in history as our worst President ever. Even worse than Biden. It's entirely possible Trump is experiencing the exact same thing we ALL saw with Biden. Accelerating old age. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 19, 2026 After much debate and analysis, we've decided to focus the efforts of our Auto Division strictly on offering "updated" 2006 325i E90 sport sedans with the 6-speed manual. Each will get our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall reconditioning service, our custom Stage 1 tune,
plus select other upgrades. E.g., MILVs, M3 front control arms, Bilstein struts & shocks, & 17.2 lb Apex 17x8.5 ET35 wheels paired-with PS4S 245/40-17 tires ALL-around. And, we plan to list them at $27,850 USD. Exactly 1/6 of the price of the new Porsche 911 S with MT Package. link to Porsche USA
The gist, it's a compromise & will enable us to devote more time to Photosets. Appropriate donor cars will be challenging to acquire, but that's OK, we'll be developing a Rock Solid Proof of Concept by the slower pace. For clarity, we recently realized that we're able to extract Very Good Perf out of the factory single-stage intake & exhaust with MILVs & our custom Stage 1 tune. That then convinced us there's NO reason to wait on our custom single-stage intake (paired with our custom Stage 2 tune), as we had originally planned. Plus, pricing for the new Porsche and our analysis of Etched earlier today, convinced us to drop ALL but our Veritical-oriented Business Strategies. For reference, see the table below, plus the Tech Specs for Stage 1 just above it. As a reminder, our prototype is a 2006 325i E90 sedan that our Founder custom-ordered from BMW way back in the Summer of 2005. And has driven ever since as his Daily Driver. On a side note, our updated Fair Value Valuation Estimate for SpaceX correlates to a per-share price for SPCX of ~$37/share. Just-over $100/share less than what it's currently trading at. Also on a side note, way to go MRNA ! Many of us here remember back to the early days of CEGE and DNDN. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 19, 2026 Here and now we simply want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL that we believe we are at OR near peak LLM, that Agentic AI will fizzle-out, & that Physical AI, while neoteric, will soon become the driving force behind AI & ML. Including in the Investor Community. But NOT on CNBC, which is so far behind the 8-ball that it's truly shocking / sad. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Wed, Aug 19, 2026 The importance of Capturing, Collecting, & properly Annotating ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases has (unfortunately) been Flying under the Radar. Why do we say that ? Because if Teens & Young Adults had been Educated about its importance & how to capitalize, they would have much less anxiety about their futures with AI & ML. 4 PM yesterday we hinted at how we plan to help out. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Tues, Aug 18, 2026 Have you noticed that President Trump rarely mentions the U.S. National Debt ? And has NEVER even hinted at attempting a fix for it. We certainly have. And, WTF was Pete Hegseth doing earlier today in Iowa promoting the Pentagon's $1.5T USD budget request just two days AFTER the U.S. National Debt passed $40T USD. Go Figure ! Is Hegseth that disconnected from the BIG picture perspective ? Make NO mistake, the "accelerating" U.S. National Debt is the single-greatest Security Threat to America. If we had a Vote, we say cap the Pentagon budget at $1T USD. Make NO mistake, a $1.5T USD Pentagon budget will result in rampant corruption. And that Boys and Girls may be "precisely" what they're after. Rampant Waste, Corruption, & Fraud is very-likely what we'll end up with. Plus more Debt ! We're Center-Right & and we believe MAGA needs to be held responsible for the mess they are creating. Starting with the Speaker Mike Johnson. He needs to go ! And ideally, replaced by someone who is NOT a member of Congress, but who is a card carrying member of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 4 PM (La Jolla-time) Tues, Aug 18, 2026 Today, we came up with (what we believe to be) an innovative strategy that "fills gaps" (see Rocky 1) using the "Learn by Doing" strategy & philosophy we learned in college. Ask yourself: Where did Tim Cook fail Apple Users the most ? Most have probably never even thought about that question. We have, alot over the years. The simple answer is Educating. And there are lots of examples, from the Domains/Applications/Use-Cases supported by the Camera Tech in every iPhone that sits in the middle between Photos on one end and Videos on the other end. To, more recently, the importance of Capturing, Collecting & properly Annotating ML Training & Verification Data for Physical AI use cases. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Tues, Aug 18, 2026 Even with the S&P 500 currently at ~7700, we're 100% convinced it's still trading 1K+ points higher than it should be. And we're pretty sure we know why. CNBC is to blame. CNBC has become quite the AI Cheerleader. A direct result of too many Finance-types giving their two-cents on the prospects of AI & ML, even though they have little to NO real hands-on experience with AI & ML. We believe it's too early to know how Agentic AI will play-out & whether it will ultimately be a success OR NOT. We're NOT confident it will. Companies are currently still in the FOMO / Experimentation phase with Agentic AI. There are some serious issues with Agentic AI, it requires privledged access AND/OR Data to do its thing, AND it makes Users dumber over time. Compare that to Chat-based LLMs when used as an AI Research Assistant. There, the User is forced to think, & think hard. It makes people smarter over time ! And there's a BIG side benefit, thinking hard burns calories, lots of calories ! On a side note, if Tokens are taxed, the revenue should be, in our opinion, used to pay down the U.S. National Debt. Which BTW, just crossed $40T USD on Sunday ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Tues, Aug 18, 2026 To potential investors, we simply ask you to ask yourselves: Would a $6K USD ML-based Alusil service (that extends an engine's life by 100K OR more miles) combined with a $600 USD Stage 1 tune (that produces 20 additional HP + 30 additional lb-ft of torque with the factory intake & exhaust manifolds & ONLY requires MILVs) sell well ? We certainly think so. If fact, we predict we'll corner the (2006+ N52B30 MSV70) market. And that's just our starting point ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 6:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Tues, Aug 18, 2026 Quick update to our last News Update. The core of our Auto Division is our ML-based Alusil cylinder wall reconditioning service, performed by our first-ever Industrial AI Specialty Robot, which we've named Timmy after Apple's Tim Cook. And that's because it's very much a Logistics challenge. We require just the customer's N52B30 crankcase for Timmy to perform the Alusil service. And for clarity, the Alusil serivce, when paired with a set of new Genuine BMW piston rings, solves the main problem N52B30 engines experience as they pass 200K miles, excessive oil consumption. Effectively giving them another 100K or more useful miles ! The important thing to know is that the Alusil service represents "our moat," & that what we described yesterday represents "the carrot". Also for clarity, we're prototying what we're describing here & now, as well as what we described yesterday, with our 2006 BMW 325i with N52B30, with 225K miles on it. The exact car our Founder custom-ordered from BMW way back in the Summer of 2005. On a side note, we'd like to state that anybody claiming they know how AI & ML will play-out is either a Fool OR trying to Play Others for Fools. NO ONE knows. And, we too have our opinions. We believe AI "currently" has ONLY ONE really good Use Case. Specifically, as a Research Assistant in a field where the User is either already an Expert OR trying hard to become one. Here think LLM-based Chatbots, including Google's AI mode, which we rely on for our research. AI makes mistakes. Users MUST be able to detect those mistakes & point those out to an LLM to use it Effectively & Efficiently. This is key. Beyond that, Physical AI / Industrial AI is where we believe it will truly shine. But this is neoteric. For this Use Case, 99%+ of the required ML training & verification data has NOT yet been captured & collected, let alone properly annotated. For us, Timmy represents our AI & ML stake in the ground. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS: 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Mon, Aug 17, 2026 As requested, a High-Level Overview of what our Auto Division is "currently" up to. ALL continues to go well we'll corner at least the 2006 N52B30 market. That's our stake in the ground.
