BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Dec 14, 2025

Most don't know it, but both MAGA & the GOP members of Congress are about to Revolt against Trump over the AI Build-Out.

(We believe) That will create opportunity for Photosets.

NOT directly, but in a round-about way.

As a reminder, we are the Founders of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal).

Think of it as a Voice of Reason in a super-polarized political Env.

And specifically, we believe the Revolt will be driven by three AI-related factors, the Power & Water concerns of AI Data Centers, & the selling of advanced AI chips to China (e.g., Nvidia's H200 chips).

For the record, we are NOT "blind faith" believers in the AI Revoluation.

We're pragmatic, we believe it has a 50% chance of Flopping, BIG time, where later Investors lose 100% of what they put in.

To some extent, it reminds us of Asynchronous Transfer Mode.

That was supposed to take over the world, including to the Desktop.

Also, it was ONLY yesterday that we saw the parallel with Germany during the 1933-1938 timeperiod & OpenAI, aka the "Metallurgical Research Corporation".

On a side note, Trump's health issue, which he hasn't yet Fess'd Up To, concerns us,
& should concern ALL Americans.

Our best guess is that he's taking antibiotics for something, & because of that he isn't sleeping well.

And BTW, the dead-give-away is his skin on his hands & feet.

That's how skin looks when a person with a Leaky Gut condition is taking antibiotics.

BREAKING NEWS : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Dec 14, 2025

Today we want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL, & especially to potential Investors & Corp Partners, that we've NOT given-up on our plans for our 2006-2008 BMW M3 Lite.

We're just moving forward with it slowly, via Baby Steps.

And for clarity, it's something we've been devoting 1-2% of our Time & Energy on for more than a year now.

As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, the N52 engine, like the one in our E90 M3 Lite prototype, has Alusil bores.

And because of that, BMW was forced to go with low-tension piston rings, so as NOT to damage the Alusil.

The downside to that decision is that after a certain period, 200K miles for our prototype, Oil Consumption becomes a significant problem.

One option is to Hone & then RE-Expose the silicon of the Alusil bores.

And then pair that with a new set of low-tension piston rings.

It's a delicate procedure.

That's NOT the option we're going with.

Ductile Iron Sleeves paired with new high-tension piston rings (from a NON-Alusil engine) is.

The Gist, at a Min, we plan to offer an N52 Engine Block RE-conditioning Service.

We've priced our Labor cost at $10K USD.

The Ductile Iron Sleeves & piston rings Parts cost is $1500 USD.

As such, for an $11.5K USD investment, BMW owners with an N52 engine could potentially get another 100K miles OR more out of their engine.

Once fully up & running, we expect to do 1K such jobs per month here in San Diego.

And BTW, we're adding support to Photosets so that BMW N52 owners can use the app's Camera to qualify their N52 Engine Block BEFORE shipping it to us.

And Yes, it's an AI-based feature.

Also BTW, Apple spent $10B USD on their Apple Car & has nothing to show for it.

We've spent much less than that & could soon have a credible & viable Auto Division.

BREAKING NEWS : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Dec 13, 2025

Best thing we've viewed on YouTube in awhile:

"How did Hitler Fund a Huge Military When Germany was Broke ?"

Extremely educational, and ...

We see an analogy with the AI Build-Out !

Should we start referring to OpenAI as the "Metallurgical Research Corporation" ?

-----

BREAKING NEWS : 2:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Dec 13, 2025

"Victoria's Secret-like Fashion Shows with Late Brone Age attire".

That's the theme for our first set of AI-generated videos.

More than anything it's a Technical Proof of Concept.

Our approach is different than ALL others.

For clarity, you can think of what we're describing here as an Example of the Video Template-approach that we detailed the past few days.

Please do a search for "Victoria's" on our News webpage for additional background info.

BREAKING NEWS : 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Dec 12, 2025

We want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL that we now see Photosets' upcoming Multi View Capture feature as a key differentiator for our multi-scene, multi-view AI Video Generator efforts.

In a nutshell:

● NOT Text-to-Video like the others, but Video Template-to-Video
(And where Text is input by the User to align the selected Video Template with the User's intentions).

● The Video Templates are crafted by Photosets from captured burst photo sets
(And ideally annotated by the person who captured each photo set).

● Cosmosent will maintain a Repository of Video Templates for Users to use.

● Is a Domain/Application/Use Case-specific solution.

Starts small, but over time could dominate.

BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Dec 12, 2025

It hit us today during a company-wide Brainstorming session that if we're serious about pivoting to a Sora 3-like Content Producer, we need to complete & release Photosets' Multi View Capture feature.

It's 90%+ done, but has been on the Back Burner the past few months.

Today, we're moving it back to the Front Burner.

We could possibly release v25.412 with it by next Friday.

BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Dec 12, 2025

We've been Asked & have Agreed, to provide some clarity regarding our recent News Updates, & in particular those related to yesterday's Disney / OpenAI announcement.

First, we consider the Disney / OpenAI partnership announcement to simply be a
Marketing & Branding Campaign for each.

Second, it's become clear to us that as we've moved forward with our plans for our own Marketing & Branding Campaign that potential Investors & Corp Partners needed a similar Prime Example to evaluate.

We'll, that happened yesterday.

The gist here, prior to yesterday Disney did NOT have an AI/ML play.

And now they do.

Prior to yesterday, OpenAI did NOT really have access to high-value content.

And now they do.

As of today, from the General Public's perspective, Photosets does NOT have an AI/ML play.

But will soon.

So the question then becomes, who wants to benefit off ALL our hard work

Once it becomes Common Knowledge of what we're up to, we suspect there will be many suitors.

Third, Tim Cook's App Store is catastrophically-broken.

And it's NOT just us who knows that.

Investors & Corp Partners also know that.

NO ONE wants to invest in a "pure play" App Store app.

Fourth, there's NO "Apple Tax" to produce content.

ONLY for the distribution of the app used to produce content.

The significance of that should NOT be under-estimated by anyone.

Fifth, there is very little Dev enthusiasm for "pure play" App Store apps.

Everyone wants to follow the money, including us.

-----

BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Dec 12, 2025

Today we're announcing that our Sora 3-like "Content Producer" strategy is (now) on the Front Burner.

A direct result of yesterday's Disney / OpenAI announcement.

Here is a copy/paste of what we stated yesterday:

For clarity, NOT Text-to-Video like OpenAI's Sora 2, but more along the lines of Video Template-to-Video.
And where Text is used to align the Video Template with the User's intentions.
That's our vision for our Sora 3-like Video Generator.
Made possible by what Photosets already has in-place.
BIG Picture Perspective, Photosets has "significant" Revenue & Profit-generating "potential," but NOT INSIDE Tim Cook's App Store.

We want to make that Crystal Clear to ALL, especially to potential Investors & Corp Partners.

To us, Tim Cook's App Store is too Focused-on & too Obsessed-on apps for the Young & the Dumb.

To the deteriment of just-about-everything-else outside of that.

BREAKING NEWS : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Dec 11, 2025

We want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL that the Disney / OpenAI (Marketing & Branding Campaign) Partnership announced earlier today has given us something new to think about.

And which potentially impacts the next update of Photosets, v25.412.

Specifically, has to do with our plans to support up-to "75" 4K30 photos/set in the Base version of v25.412.

That correlates to (up-to) 2.5 seconds of capture duration per photo set.

Would we be better off keeping that In House for our Sora 3-like Video Generator ?

That's what we need to figure-out.

For clarity, NOT Text-to-Video like OpenAI's Sora 2, but more along the lines of Video Template-to-Video.

And where Text is used to align the Video Template with the User's intentions.

That's our vision for our Sora 3-like Video Generator.

Made possible by what Photosets already has in-place.

The Gist, we need to be careful we're NOT giving too much away.

That's ALL for now.

Those sufficiently skilled in the art should have NO problems seeing our dilemma.

Especially if you know how little success Photosets has had in Tim Cook's App Store.

Despite being the best app in its Camera App sub-category.

Photos on one end, Videos on the other end, & Burst Photos, preferably captured in High-Res & with High-Precision Timing, in the middle.

BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Dec 11, 2025

Trump's Executive Order (EO) regarding AI & ML makes it Crystal Clear to us that Jensen, Altman & the other Sales-men & women running the major AI & ML-related companies have Played Trump for a Fool.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

He doesn't realize the main risk WRT AI & ML isn't China.

At least NOT in the near term.

If left UN-check'd, Bad Things will happen !

Who exactly in Trump's Admin is advising him ?

We suspect NO ONE !

Someone should ask him.

WTF Trump ?

On a side note, we have lots of Followers right now.

i.e., others following what we're posting on this website.

We suspect the recent ramp-up could have something to do with something we stated just-yesterday regarding MAGA, the Republicans in Congress, & a bus.

But it could be something else entirely, OR a combo of ALL of the things we're now posting about.

And BTW, Trump appears Oblivious to the Obvious.

He doesn't appear to know what's about to happen.

i.e., a MAGA & GOP revolt.

Go Figure !

Off the radar of most, but should NOT be.

BREAKING NEWS : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Dec 11, 2025

If you've been following us, you know the Disney / OpenAI Partnership announced earlier today is a Prime Example of what we had been predicting as "the Intersection".

i.e., the Intersection of AI & Apple's App Store.

And for the record, because the Short Form Videos will be limited to 30 seconds, we see the Partnership as simply a Marketing & Branding Campaign for both.

NO surprise to us that NO ONE on CNBC (for Dummies) sees it that way.

And BTW, the partnership announcement has given us something new to think about.

Do you remember our comments regarding our Sora 3-like Video Generator idea ?

Today we're looking at it with an innovative twist.

(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.

Who Controls OR Sends What ?

(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).
