BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DingoBorat]

I know this isn't us but boy I wish it was or we could be involved in something similar.
Caught the imagination of CES and sold out first 10,000 unit production run on first day, then did it again the following.
Add a few more sensors and let Akida handle the fusion and perhaps enable some functions whilst out of signal range particularly personal health monitoring. And those are just applications we are already used to on our phones.
I'm sure we could also take over some other functionality and probably improve its durability between recharge significantly.
This personal concierge product is the type of thing with mass appeal and something like this with a next gen. user interface could just be the killer application to launch us properly.

Not impressed and I would never buy one, but then, I don't really like tech..

But if we got into something like this and it became the next "must have" for the mindless consumers.

Let's go

One of my Brothers turned this out of a piece of firewood for me.
It's supposed to be a .44-40 calibre cartridge and you can see the tip of the barrel of our Fathers old Winchester embedded in the top.
He cut it off when he was restoring it.

Just throwing it out there,
If things are looking so promising @ 17.5 cents what is it going to take for this share to move , if all the facts are true Brainchip is massively undervalued, Surely it's not going come down to financials or a IP Signing

One of those mindless consumers here, guilty as charged. I do have a pre-order for the Rabbit, but I doubt I will see it until July given how quickly they backlog on pre-orders. I believe that Disney currently owns the rights to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, and if they were to make an AI assistant modeled after the guide, they would make a killing.

I currently play around with various open-source AI projects and run open LLM models locally. I have gotten practical use from them on automating tasks in minutes that used to take me half an hour to an hour.

From a coding standpoint, I have used them to create Dockerfiles, PowerShell scripts, Code Generators, and validators and automate Web-scraping tasks. I've used it to summarize code commits based on changes, generate XML code comments for methods, and add code to handle exception conditions. I can give it a code snippet to describe what it is doing, translate between Microsoft, Oracle, and MySQL query syntax, and perform some language localization tasks (with verification, of course). I am also looking to use AI to automate code reviews and ensure that best practices are being followed without requiring the time of other developers.

It may seem like laziness or cheating, but in all honesty, it does take good prompting to get good results. I love it because it saves time. To me, ladies and gentlemen, time is a valuable commodity.

I look forward to a digital assistant that can monitor my finances, automate vacation planning, remind me about upcoming events and appointments, and be a general resource to research on the fly. I want to be able to take a picture of an insect or plant and let me know if it's dangerous or possibly edible.

I want to pay less mind to mundane tasks and be more mindful of those I find new, enjoyable, and rewarding. I'll suffer being a mindless consumer as long as I can be a mindful developer.

CES done and dusted for yet another year, did the team do us proud ? everyone has an opinion and that's how it should be.

For me, the podcasts were informative, some better than others, has Sean laid down a solid business plan, I believe so, not only do we
have a product about to be available from Monday 15 January (Pacific Time) we now have an ever growing ecosystem, which like me, you
would have now realized that all technology companies just can't succeed without partners, as there are so many layers involved in getting
a product to market, and if you want to be the best, well then, you must engage with the best.

Tony is back on deck from Monday after a nice break, try to be respectful, he's not your punching bag.

When shareholders say that we are so undervalued, I question, what is that actually based off ?

I tend to agree with a number of posters, up until this point, despite the obvious "wanting or wishing" the share price was higher, things
aren't quite in place just yet, when I see a wall of 1 million plus shares for sale continually blocking any suggestion of a movement northwards
in our share price you don't have to be an Einstein to see or think "what idiot would wish to dump shares out at 0.18" so despite what some
keep on insisting that no manipulation is at play, I say, keep your head buried in the sand.

No news on AKD 2.0....I tried but it's obviously still all confidential.

Cheers, have a good afternoon....Tech

Hi JD,

Great to see a real person has hands-on experience with the tech.

Many years ago, I dreamt of the day when we didn't have to faff around with arcane syntax to perform simple tasks.

Samsung already has Bablefish:

Strange, I have been checking YouTube for all CES 24 AI related videos, there are so many cool techs but nothing from Brainchip except for the few podcast, I wonder why it is so difficult to put up some videos on the demos.

Probably because youtube is a useless platform for brn business model? I don't think Intel will be sourcing demo's on YouTube for leading edge tech development and as nice as it would be I don't see one being posted to soothe my soul, podcasts with industry leaders did that where a demo won't give you insight beyond seeing it work which we know it does.

BRN did offer virtual demonstrations along with in person.

Sounds like a bit of a defensive post there JDelekto

Although I think "consumerism" is basically a Human crime against the Planet, I'm kind of counting on it for my future..
So I guess that makes me a moral hypocrite..

Time, is indeed the most valuable of commodities.




Oh and.. Bon Appétit

I think they should do a demo with the edge AI box like how the Rabbit guy did it, it will boost the sales..

LOL... No, it wasn't meant to be defensive but instead open more with a tongue-in-cheek comment while trying to justify why I ordered one. I have ambivalent feelings about consumerism, especially when I see so many strange gadgets or novelty items pop up on Websites like Temu that seem to be solutions in search of a problem.

I also saw an opportunity to explain how I use AI as a tool to get things done faster in my daily life. I am still trying more ideas on using it, and I am pleasantly surprised when they work very well. I didn't realize how much the introduction of Google's transformers would create a paradigm shift in how AI is perceived today.

Protein be damned. I am probably more keen on eating a strange plant or berry (if I can identify it is not poisonous) than I am a big squirty grub. Yuck!

Looks like Stellantis was part of the 1 Billion Euro forward order for Scala 3 for multiple models from 2024, but, in addition, Valeo are making their own high-performance computer, the ADAS domain controller which they intend to supply to BMW, so what are the chances that the ADAS domain controller includes Akida?

Valeo SCALA 3 LiDAR (Light Detection & Ranging) receives prestigious CES 2024 Innovation Award | Automotive World 20231116

Valeo’s capability to deliver on its promises is recognised by clients around the world. Valeo LiDAR equips the only Level 3 passenger cars authorized in Europe, and we have announced in March 2023 orders over the past 18 months worth more than 1 billion euros for Valeo SCALA 3.


Stellantis chose Valeo's LiDAR for its level 3 automation 20220614

Stellantis has chosen Valeo's third-generation LiDAR to equip multiple models of its different automotive brands from 2024.


Valeo Wemding produce the innovative automotive sensors & LiDAR

With the recent wins of major contracts with automakers Stellantis and BMW, Valeo Wemding is at the forefront of the autonomous mobility revolution, producing innovative sensors that enable autonomous driving and increase safety on the road.

Valeo recently signed a major contract with BMW to provide the automaker with the domain controller, sensors and software for parking and maneuvering on its upcoming platform generation “Neue Klasse.” Hein says fusion and domain controllers will be the “future growth engine” for the site.

Wemding’s production lines will also soon start rolling out the ADAS domain controller – the high-performance computer that processes the massive amounts of data gathered by the vehicle’s sensors and allows the autonomous driving system to then take appropriate action.


Sample testing of Scala 3 would have preceded the order unless the order was contingent on satisfactory performance.

So, if they start rolling off the production line in November 2024, and allowing for "Just in time" component delivery, sales of Scala 3 should begin by ... August/September? Can we expect cash-in-hand this year?

The answer is out there .. the search continues.

Whilst this older paper (2022) doesn't mention Akida, I have highlighted one of their statements re neuromorphic AI in autonomous driving which I found encouraging.

The passage straight after your highlighted section, is also interesting.

"while the use of analog or mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware seems out of scope at the moment due to their intrinsic variability. Hence, we suggest to focus on advanced digital systems such as SpiNNaker2 (Yan et al., 2021) or Loihi2 (Orchard et al., 2021) to further explore neuromorphic hardware for automotive radar processing and automated driving in general"

The references to both mentioned digital solutions, are both from 2021.

We know AKIDA, is not only superior, to both SpiNNaker2 and Loihi2 (because I said so DH ..) but the latter, isn't even commercially available..

I am interested in what was said in BrainChip’s latest podcast with tech giant Global Foundries but all I am reading on here is about an administrative error. I won’t be making any investment decisions based on admin errors. It would however be nice to hear peoples opinion on the content of the podcast.
