I thought I wouldn’t have to bring this up anymore.
This will be the last time I bring this up as I have voiced my concerns previously before the last AGM.
I think our chairman is trying play the strike down.
You know why the strike happened, you wouldn’t be doing the quarterly podcast if we shareholders didn’t voice our dissatisfaction and voted against.
It was never about the share price….it was about runs on the board and lack of communication with your shareholders.
I am sick and tired of hearing this is how the tech world operates and you Aussies need to comply with the way the USA traditionally operates.
We are listed on the asx…. You have Australian shareholders that have invested and have patiently waited to see revenue or IP deals.
I have no problem with incentives for employees, however I do have a problem when we sharesholders
Are not informed of anything.
I hope management take this on board.
That’s the last time I bring this up.
There will be another strike If we keep on getting treated this way.
Go BRN.

Strange accusation there.
- We operate in the ASX, American and Germany stock exchange
- We have had revenue come in but not as much as we like and we have 2 IP deals
- Who even said we need to comply with how the USA operates ( by the way all the tech giants are in USA)

For a start the 2 IP deals were signed over 2 years ago.
No new deals since then.
We are listed on the asx….not the nasdaq.
Have a bit of respect for the investors of the company and not play dumb to why they got the strike in the first place.
If this continues It will just become a boys club with fat salaries and bonus for no return to investors.
Instead of changing his approach after the strike at the last AGM he has continued to rub shareholders up the wrong way.
He needs to stop playing dumb….the strike wasn’t because of the share price, it was because of no new IP deals.
I have always said the I’m not concerned about the share price for now.
If there’s no revenue, then they must sign new IP deals.
I will always love the company, however I will call out management BS when I see it.

I agree entirely with this. More transparency is needed as to where the company sites regarding negotiations and if negotiations actually exist. This silence is BS, we effectively own this company and have no idea what’s happening inside its walls, yet the bonuses keep rolling, the SP keeps dropping, and no new deals are being signed. It’s getting very old and I expect better accountability.

I also tend to agree with most of what you expressed. As I mentioned in last post the BOD need to be more visible and even if they employ a specialist PR company and provide better communications to their shareholders then that's a great step and will be seen as a major positive. The current PR/ Marketing firm if there is one, ( I think it's JBR communications) honestly isn't up to the job and I honestly don't know what they have done for Brainchip. I'm on linkedin for my professional career and notice other emerging tech companies introduce and celebrate their key staff and communicate and share success stories within their companies and with their public audience. Yes we have these podcasts but it would be great if they're mixed with more effective communication channels to inform us, the part owners of Brainchip what's happening without breaching any NDA or disclosure requirements.

Antonio is no doubt answering the majority of questions put to Tony Dawe, by people who's primary focus is on our share price and the nature and extent of our ASX announcements.
He is again explaining the why and the how it works, because the squeaky wheels are demanding he do so and either will not, or cannot, accept his previous explanations.
Many find this both tedious and a waste of our and his collective time but he is obliged to do so by both his position and the fact that the nature of our business in general requires discretion and confidentiality.
Particularly at this point in time when the spring is wound tight with imminent product release's scheduled and further revelatory announcements due.
BrainChip is not now in the habit of dropping announcements merely to try and artificially prop up a flailing share price.
That is not how a serious board delivers ongoing share price appreciation for their holders and investors.
Rather, they concentrate on building and running the Company both ethically and competently and achieving key waypoints in their game-plan, both influenced and constrained by our partners and competitors actions and endorsements.
This is what I want and expect our BOD and management to do in order to achieve both stable and increasing profits over time.
They are running their own game and within the restraints of NDA's both sought and demanded, they let us know of progress and setbacks as required by law and in accordance with their own marketing strategy.
Please remember we are still only an embryonic company in a nascent and ever evolving technical and commercial sector, operating within a macro economic ecosystem in flux.
We crawl, then we walk, then we stride, then we fly...... this is how it is with successful enterprises.
In the meantime, we wait, and suffer the vicissitudes afforded collectively to all of us.
We will just "be there" one shining morning to come.
Another overnight sensation, years in the making.

There you go saying we have no revenue again. No revenue means 0. This is a lie you keep repeating

Your first post was balanced and your second post about revenue was completely in denial.
We all know what I mean by no revenue.
By the way my rants this morning is because of first 6 mins of the quarterly podcast.
He mentioned that he has no idea why the strike happened.
He said it was because of share price……. Wrong
No IP deals and no REAL revenue!
They need to change their attitude otherwise they will expect another strike come next AGM.

I see our mates at TCS been doing some work on CFDs and SNN with a presso at Dec 22 NeurIPS.
Looks like they intend to run their algo on Akida in future work.
Paper HERE
Stabilization and Acceleration of CFD Simulation by Controlling Relaxation Factor Based on Residues: An SNN Based Approach
Mithilesh Maurya, Dighanchal Banerjee, Sounak Dey, Dilshad Ahmad
TCS Research, India
Abstract
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation involves the solution of a sparse system of linear equations. Faster convergence to a physically meaningful CFD simulation result of steady-state physics depends largely on the choice of optimum value of the under-relaxation factor (URF) and continuous manual monitoring of simulation residues. In this paper, we present an algorithm for classifying simulation convergence (or divergence) based on the residues using a spiking neural network (SNN) and a control logic. This algorithm maintains optimum URF throughout the simulation process and ensure accelerated convergence of the simulation. The algorithm is also able to stabilize and bring back a diverging simulation to the converging range automatically without manual intervention. To the best of our knowledge, SNN is used for the first time to solve such complex classification problem and it achieves an accuracy of 92.4% to detect the divergent cases. When tested on two steady-state incompressible CFD problems, our solution is able to stabilize every diverging simulation and accelerate the simulation time by at least 10% compared to a constant value of URF.
Conclusion and Future Works. Our proposed solution is generic and can be integrated with any CFD tools. This automated process saves a lot of manual effort and time thereby making it beneficial for many industry scale CFD problems that run for days. Moreover, the SNN model can easily be retrained with additional data to improve the accuracy and to cater to different classes of problems.
In future, we intend to improve the existing fixed control logic to an adaptive URF controller varying with the SR value. We also intend to test the performance and power consumption of the SNN by
running it on a real neuromoprhic hardware such as Intel Loihi [2, 9] or Brainchip Akida [1].

I prefer to discuss it with my fellow shareholders on this forum.
That’s the only way change happens.
I am not against the company…. I have been a shareholder for a very long time.
Way before BRN name was ever mentioned anywhere on the internet.
I will always support the company but I will always call out BS when I see it.

Is the consulting firm you are talking about?
Computer Chip with a human-like brain
This could be a Skynet moment. Radical new silicon chip that will change the world.jwpm.com.au
Also the reason that no price sensitive announcement are being announced is because nothing price sensitive is happening I would assume because they are legally bound to announce if their were any that constitutes being price sensitive.
Sorry if I misunderstood the communication aspect of your post.
Yes that's the one. Thanks for correcting me and for the Abbott and Costello laugh.
Even if there isn't any price sensitive news to be announced, it would be good to see more communication of non price sensitive news or updates such as new staff hires, any new exciting developments, staff or company success stories, new strategic partnerships and how they are progressing etc. This is the communication that I was talking about

I don't know of any way to ascertain who actually voted for the strike on the remuneration package.
So as far as I am concerned the strike vote may have also come from institutional holders (who control a significant chunk of BRN equity), as well as retail, so correct me if I wrong on this, but does anyone actually know what number of "retail" holders voted to strike remuneration down.
Some further speculation, we know the instos have an integral role in shorting BRN, therefore could it be possible that some insto holders were involved in the remuneration package strike ?
But something else I have been thinking for sometime now: is it possible for instos, who are short selling or loaning BRN equities (for short selling purposes), to also be involved or have some relationship with my pet hate - which is the algorithmic trading bots that conduct high frequency trading of small share parcels all day on many ASX listed companies ?
Would that type of behaviour be illegal - you would think so, however I am not fully opposed to short trading but rather believe that it needs to be more regulated to prevent large insto holders attacking certain target companies for noxious or manipulative purposes (just a brief overview there).
Still I have wondered about the pairing of insto short selling campaigns combined with focussed Bot activity, nothing would surprise me, but if that were happening it would be pretty outrageous (and should absolutely be illegal if it isn't already), but I certainly know the notion of a level playing field has been totally bastardized, and am sensibly cynical when it comes to proper governance and scrutiny of market practices.

Afternoon Chippers,
Personaly I'm expecting an absolute CRACKER this coming week.
1, Potential dropping of our APP. 4D. Also known as the Half Yearly Report.
2, Moderately high , GETTING HIGHER, breaking news on our new AKIDA architecture , 2nd Generation , in three flavours which our partners whims have been satiated.
3, The second installment of this month's podcast, 24th is US time , with any luck dropping something substantial.
* Personally, the first was sub par, justifying what directors think thay are worth , ....produce the goods ...... SIGNIFICENT CASH LANDING IN BRAINCHIPS ACCOUNT....then, and only then are your pressent salaries even remotely justified .
4, I'm feeling LUCKY.
Regards,
Esq.

Good Afternoon McHale,
All pertint points.
Along your train of thinking & mine of late ...... looking at the Options which have been gifted ... equivalent...to Management over the years , together with the freshly created ones....the strike price has been set so low one wonders weather a large holder , of many incarnations, has simply said FUCK IT, I'll suppres the price so all said Options simply become worthless and not dilute their pressent holdings.
Who would know.
