BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

What a surprise:

​ here.​

​ ​ ​ Tech to Desire: Mercedes-Benz at CES 2023 Las Vegas/Stuttgart, Dec 20, 2022 Automaker and technology brand Mercedes Benz is returning to CES in Las Vegas the first week of 2023. At the forefront will be the theme of “Tech to Desire,” illustrating how technological developments from Mercedes Benz enrich the lives of its customers”

Just in case anyone neglected to rub the magic lamp:

The highlight of Mercedes’ presence at CES will be the tech talks held in their booth 5041 inside the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center on January 5 at 12:00 p.m., where Chief Technology Officer Markus Schäfer and Chief Software Officer Magnus Östberg will be joined by a number of collaboration partners. Together, they will announce news about the Mercedes‑Benz electrification strategy. They will also discuss automated driving features that give back time, and explain how new developments in in-car audio, streaming and entertainment will generate customer excitement. To round out the program, Mercedes will unveil an artistic collaboration with an innovative entertainment brand, reinventing an icon of pop culture.

Mercedes collaboration partners ... let me guess:
Valeo
SoundHound ?
Unity Tech
Bosch (AVP)
Nvidia ( https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/01/08/mercedes-benz-cockpit-ai/ )
...

any others?

But SoundHound is not travelling so well:

SoundHound, the voice AI platform, lays off 10% of staff citing ‘challenging market conditions’​

Jagmeet Singh@jagmeets13 / 1:37 AM GMT+11•November 11, 2022

...
“Yesterday, we announced to our SoundHounders that we are taking actions to streamline our company, including an approximate 10% reduction in workforce. We don’t take this lightly, but in the face of challenging market conditions, we must channel our investments into the areas that continue to drive growth and allow us to best serve our customers. We’re extremely grateful to the departing colleagues that have contributed to our success as a leading voice AI platform,” a SoundHound spokesperson said in a statement emailed to TechCrunch."

However SoundHound still advertises itself in connexion with Mercedes:

At about 2 minutes on, it shows "Hey Mercedes!"

Well worth the ten minutes to watch this vid imo.
9:42 “We see some other players in the ecosystem that are putting products out into the market and ah good luck to them.”

It’s bloody good to watch something like this knowing what we now know.. Thanks for the good luck wishes Mike, we won’t be needing them

Monkeys and typewriters comes to mind when amongst this jumble of words we find the base wisdom that underpins the long term visionary Brainchip holders:

“People don't always think far enough out in terms of future applications of breakthrough technologies.

Chris Abshire”

How true it is some will never get tech investing.

The share price of the right tech is the last consideration because if you have chosen the right tech the market will come as it clearly has and is to Brainchip’s AKIDA Science Fiction BEAST.

When the major competitor of a companies technology comes hat in hand and asks to partner even my old mate Blind Freddie is impressed as the calculated 3 to 5 year lead was clearly a very conservative lead as a company like Intel could just throw money at Loihi and bridge the gap. Even WANCAs know that unless the technology is leading to a dead end.

Partnering with Brainchip signals they know they have technology issues that money just cannot fix.

Annoyingly Blind Freddie has stolen my analogy concerning Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar having patented the straight line and by buying out JAST they have blown up the bridge behind them that others might have tried to use to catch up.

One thing Blind Freddie and I agree on is that a sensible investor enquiring about Brainchip would ask about the technology and customer engagements before even thinking about what is the present share price.

If the Tech company does not have the Technology or the validation of partnerships it is going to be expensive at any price.

Announcing Intel’s validation of AKIDA IP by partnering with Brainchip should have anyone betting against Brainchip wondering if the pressure they are feeling is stress or an impending cardiac arrest.

I can even see them turning up here in the week before Christmas spreading their vile messages in the hope that their children will never find out what they were doing that was more important than helping wrap presents.

Great post, FF. It really does paint, imho, the exact logic behind the Intel shift. I especially liked the line about blowing up the linking bridge that is JAST. I had overlooked that little gem. Operation Market Garden in WW2 was based around the importance of bridges to victory. Thanks again for these posts, and indeed all your posts, that help simplify the justification for holding tight. May you and yours have the best of Christmases and many, many more.

Glad to hear that

Great news, matey. They certainly worm their way into your heart!

Yes, my favourite bit is when he is asked "when will Loihi 2 be commercially available?"
Slight pause, "Well, we don't want to rush it "
For some reason this makes me smile.

Our industry is experiencing an exciting stage in the evolution of #processorarchitectures that drive application specific workloads. We are glad to have BrainChip add a very unique set of #neuromorphic #AI IPs to IFS IP Alliance portfolio. https://lnkd.in/gJe62run #iamintel #intelfoundry

I am just off to bed after minding grandchildren but does anyone else recall the position vacant advertisement for Brainchip India which just happened to mention “Qualcomm, Synopsys, Samsung”.

These cameo appearances probably mean nothing we all know that there is a truly collegiate attitude between big Tech.

Why you only have to look at Qualcomm and ARM that like gentlemen settle their disputes in Court rather than with pistols at dawn. So civilised.

Probably nothing more than you will find after a tennis match where the winner gives a subtle applause against the heel of their racquet for the opponent before pointing out all their deficiencies that ensure they were not really that much competition.

What is the IP of the Akida Chip worth for a single chip sold?

If a new technology installed with it saves energy costs.

Let's say, for example, a new refrigerator compared to conventional technology: If 50 USD/year becomes only 30 USD/year in operating costs for a technical device, then 20 USD is saved. Over a period of 15 years, that is a saving of 300 USD.

Is then not an IP for a single CHip with AKIDA technology worth more than 5 USD?

I hope brainchip can profit from the saved energy costs through monetary payments.
I think/believe so.
But I am not a pricing expert.

Wow....what an interview with Mike Davies of Intel. Felt like he was on his back foot throughout regarding Loihi and its commercial progress. Makes sense especially if he had a detailed awareness of Brainchip and ongoing negotiations to invite Akida/Brainchip under the Intel umbrella (at the very slight risk of overstating). With the multimillions ($) Intel has invested into the neuromorphic space and the optimism expressed as to its relevance, this formal acknowledgment of Brainchip's prowess could not have been more validating. Or more timely.

No more ifs, just when and HOW BIG in regards to this investment journey.

Now, what was that all about ?? I'll have to view that again me thinks. Might transform my understanding.

Anyway chippers, I hope the s/p will transform today somewhat, because it's >>>>>>



>>>>> it's beginning to seem a lot like s/hitmas imo <<<<<



Hope not..........

Happy xmas chippers, I'll have my fingers crossed as always.

And a happy new transforming year ahead for all will tran-spike ( transpire )
