📌 BREAKING NEWS : 12:35 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, March 2, 2026 We just listened to Plexo Capital's Lo Toney on CNBC. We don't agree with his stance at all ! His so-called Insights are, to us, Total BS. Anthropic made the right call ! Furthermore, we've convinced Anthropic wins in the long run. And, we're convinced Altman's legacy took a BIG hit with his decision to cater to bullying. Of course, maybe that's what happens when your Market Cap is 6x greater than it probably should be. i.e., you've boxed yourself in. Hey Tim Cook, there's a lesson for Apple to learn there. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Monday, March 2, 2026 Yesterday, we noticed that Apple, for the first time ever, was using the following in response to Google searches about Photosets (i.e., what Apple passes to Google): "The custom watermark cannot be edited once set, nor disabled". And that continues today. So we investigated. Turns-out, it's from a User Review from March 7th of 2017, for v2.8.6. Yep, from nine years ago & almost 400 App Review Approvals ago ! To us, it's just one of the many ways that Apple tries to "strangle knowledge of Photosets" in their App Store. As a reminder, we & Photosets represent the single-greatest risk to Tim Cook's "legacy". And possibly to every AAPL Board member, due to their Fiduciary Duty obligation. A violation of such is a serious thing. If you know Our Story, you know "precisely" what we're talking about. And for clarity, we disabled End User access to the app's custom watermark support hundreds of app updates ago. And we did so because adding the custom watermark to each photo of a set simply took too much time. Specifically, we felt it added too much delay before the app would be ready for the next capture cycle. Later today, we will verify that it is in-deed (still) disabled to End Users. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, March 2, 2026 Today we want to clarify that while Photosets' (upcoming) ML-based GDB Detector is a for-sure thing, & that we hope to release it soon, the app's "Distributed" Mixture-of-Experts (DMoE) solution, which runs on top of the GDB Detector, is NOT. It's very much an Experiment at this point. It has significant potential, but there are NO guarantees. If successful, it's a Game Changer for AI in mobile ! -----

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL. (2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app. (3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video. Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App. -----

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app). -----
