Possibly just an enthusiastic BRN shareholder, who is either ignorant of or deliberately ignores Sam Altman’s long-lasting love affair with Rain AI, as he doesn’t even mention the neuromorphic start-up located less than a mile from Open AI’s headquarters in his post at all?!
What strikes me as odd is the fact that he is not arguing along the lines of Brainchip having superior technology that is already commercially available and would be a better choice than Rain AI’s (not yet available) analog neuromorphic chips for this or that reason (including the conflict of interest that arises from Open AI CEO Altman having been personally invested in Rain AI since 2018 with more than US $1 million).
Instead, he appears to be under the impression that he needs to make Open AI aware in the first place of how ultra-low power neuromorphic AI chips would be part of the solution to their sustainability problem. However, the fact that Open AI under Altman’s tenure as CEO signed a letter of intent (non-binding agreement) in 2019 to spend US $51 million on future AI chips from Rain AI is of course evidence that they have been aware of neuromorphic technology for years.

OpenAI Agreed to Buy $51 Million of AI Chips From a Startup Backed by CEO Sam Altman
Documents show that OpenAI signed a letter of intent to spend $51 million on brain-inspired chips developed by startup Rain. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously made a personal investment in Rain.
Nevertheless good publicity for Brainchip.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed, then, that Elias Asbrede is also singing our company’s praises to his own employer:
