BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Nov 17, 2025

One more thing to announce today.

We expect ASICs to dominate the 2nd Wave of AI, NOT GPUs.

The best analogy we know of is Cisco's Enterprise Line of Business in the mid/late 1990s, when the High-Perf network industry pivoted from CPUs to ASICs for multi-layer switching.

Cisco's solution dominated.

Whose ASIC-based solution will dominate the 2nd Wave of AI is anybody's guess.

We mention this because Depreciation has been In the News the last week OR so.

And for some UN-known reason, NO ONE is looking at it like we are.

Then again, NONE of the so-called Pro Stock Analysts on CNBC have ANY Chip Development experience.

The blind leading the blind.

And BTW, it's entirely possibly that even for those spending alot right now to Defend their Turf, e.g., Google, Meta, etc., there may be NO subsequent AI Training Build-Out.

At least NOT in the next 2-3 years.

i.e., that the existing AI Build-Out will be used exclusively for AI Training, while ANY & ALL subsequent AI Build-Out will be used for AI Inference.

And it is there that ASICs will dominate.

And BTW, the companion software tools will be key.

-----


BREAKING NEWS : 6:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Nov 17, 2025

Two things to announce:

1.) Take-Two's CEO just said something on CNBC regarding AI that caught our attention:

"Will give them bigger challenges to pursue"

He's the first CEO we know of to say that.

And for clarity, he was referring to the company's employees, & in particular, its Game App Devs.

Prior to this, ALL we've heard from CEOs regarding AI is related to Efficiency & Job Cuts.

And for clarity, we see AI & we use AI, strictly as a Research Assistant.

And we believe Take Two's CEO is implying the same for his company's employees.

Generative AI makes alot of mistakes, so it can really ONLY be used effectively in a particular field by those who are already an expert in that particular field.

 For some UN-known reason, The Market hasn't yet picked up on that key point.

2.) We're lining-up sponsors for our first-ever Victoria's Secret-like Fashion Show.

As a reminder, the theme is Late Bronze Age attire.

And BTW, It will represent the first time we showcase Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support.

Also for clarity, we don't plan on releasing the support to the General Public any time soon, because we don't think we can make ANY money with it in Tim Cook's App Store.

Tim Cook's App Store does NOT work for apps like Photosets.

We will say this, however, Apple's App Store "could" experience a Renaissance Period AFTER Cook & Phil Schiller are both gone !

 And from our perspective, it makes sense to plan for that.

=====


BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Nov 16, 2025

One more thing to announce today.

NO sugar coating it, as we see it, the main problem with Tim Cook is the exact same main problem with President Trump, UN-willing OR simply UN-able (due to a character flaw) to Fess Up to a Mistake.

Everybody makes mistakes !

It's part of living.

As such, our advise to both, Fess Up & Move On.

On a side note, we do want to make it crystal clear to ALL that the Female Late Bronze Age attire & RE-conditioned N52 Engine Blocks that we've hinted at, are both part of our plan.

The former for educating about something important, & the latter because it represents an
Un-tap'd financial opportunity.

-----


BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Nov 16, 2025

Tim Cook stepping-down as Apple's CEO is once-again In the News.

As such, we believe now is a good time for us to update our short list of key attributes we believe Apple's next CEO should have:

1.) Pragmatic about AI's ROI potential.

As we've stated before, we believe we are in the last innings of the 1st Wave of AI.

And that it will soon crash, followed by a Reset Period, followed by a healthier, more-sustained 2nd Wave.

2.) Expert Knowledge of the Pros & Cons of Apple's App Store.

Few know just how much Coin Apple has left on the table over the years because of their "stance".

OR, just how much UN-tap'd potential still exists.

Ideally, Apple's next CEO would be open to our recommendation of making Hump Day, i.e., Wednesday's, "Adults ONLY Day" on their App Store.

Specifically, NO Game Apps & NO Little Kid Apps on Wednesday's.

Currently, most Adults NEVER visit the App Store (anymore).

But that's easily fixed.

3.) Known OR Proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise.

If Apple has a VP of Applications Engineering, & that person has the "Camera App" experience & expertise we're describing, we believe that person should be at the very top of the list to be Apple's next CEO.

4.) A BSEE (or equivalent) degree from a top U.S. university, plus years of chip & software development experience.

5.) Keen knowledge of how Apple products could be used for "civilian" Drone Detection.

This could be the next BIG opportunity in ALL of Tech.

And importantly, ONLY 20% or so of it needs to be ML-based.

6.) Keen AI & ML knowledge so that they could potentially cherry-pick opportunities during the Reset Period described in #1 above.


The Gist, we believe Apple ONLY needs some fine-tuning to succeed BIG time.

BREAKING NEWS : 6:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Nov 15, 2025

Today we think we've figured-out something important related to one of the major AI companies, & we plan to use that Insight as a competitive advantage !

Has to do with a certain type of ML Training Data.

While we don't know precisely which AI company, we can say with certainty that it's definitely a company with Deep Pockets.

They've effectively locked-out other AI & ML companies, but NOT us & very-likely NOT select others, from a certain type of "Historical" data.

Data that can be used to train & verify ML models.

Could be Apple, could be OpenAI, we really don't know, but those two are our best guesses.

-----


BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Nov 15, 2025

FYI, later today we'll begin Field Testing Photosets' brand-new 3i/Atlas Comet Fragment Detector / Drone Detector support !

(1) Post-Capture.

(3) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves.

(4) Supports "1" MVC slave.

For this case, the iPad's Camera is under MVC UI control.

-----


Operational Overview


● MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone OR iPad.

● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master.

Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master.

● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session.

● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

(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).
