BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

Wonder if we get a look in or have had any input here at all?

This paper has just been released and whilst there is no mention of us and the work benefited from some input from Dr's at Numenta (they work with CPUs) after a guest lecture at CMU, there has been some history with Akida and cortical column work at CMU with John Shen et al as per a prev post of mine below for reference.

From memory I think @Diogenese or someone mentioned PVDM had looked at or studied or started on similar but could be mistaken.

BRN Discussion Ongoing

Maybe stay out of it? I wasn't responding to that comment. If you want others to "stay out of it".... then don't have a spat on a public forum about nonsense. Especially since none of this is relevant to BRN.

MERCEDES EXEC BLASTS TESLA FOR RECKLESS “FULL SELF-DRIVING” ROLLOUT​

"IF THINGS ARE OVERPROMISED OR DO UNDERPERFORM, EVEN IF IT'S VERY SELDOM, THE ENTIRE TRUST IN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ITSELF LOSES CONFIDENCE."​

TESLA / FUTURISM

Baby Steps​

Tesla has gotten plenty of flack for the way it's been rolling out its controversial "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" driver assistance software.




For years now, the Elon Musk-led company has used the general public as guinea pigs, offering its customers to beta test FSD through a mind-bogglingly expensive beta.
And the data speaks for itself: regulators are investigating hundreds of crashes involving the company's self-driving software, including dozens of deaths.
It's an approach to autonomous driving that could backfire spectacularly, Musk's executive peers say, further eroding trust in self-driving tech overall.
Such a rollout "should be a step-by-step approach." Mercedes-Benz's autonomous driving head Jochen Haab told Drive. "Do it slowly, but do it the right way. Build trust, build confidence."

Overpromise and Underperform​

Haab took aim at Tesla's boisterous marketing, something that regulators have found could lead to overconfident drivers who overestimate its capabilities and end up behaving dangerously on the road.
"We're concerned about others, let's say, promising too much," Haab told Drive. "That's not the way we approach things."
"The problem is — if things are overpromised or do underperform, even if it's very seldom, the entire trust in autonomous driving itself loses confidence," he added. "And that's a bad thing."

A JD Power study last year more or less confirmed Haab's suspicions, finding that consumers are losing confidence in self-driving cars. A separate AAA survey in March found that 68 percent of Americans are afraid of self-driving cars, an increase of 13 percent year over year.
Mercedes has been working on its own Level 3 autonomous driving system, meaning that vehicles can make informed decisions for themselves but still require human drivers poised to take over at any time — although they're able to take their eyes off the road for short periods. The tech was greenlit in California and Nevada last year, making the German automaker the first company in the US to sell cars with Level 3 features.
Tesla's FSD system is still technically considered Level 2, a subtle distinction that means humans are still very much expected to be in control over the vehicle.
By misleadingly marketing it as "Full Self-Driving," and allowing the public to beta test incomplete and deeply flawed software, Tesla is putting the self-driving cart in front of the horse.
"We deal with the risk and then we take the step," Haab told Drive. "We do field validation, we act as if we're the customers."
Haab argued that Mercedes only beta tests with trained employees, who are "skilled engineers or testing drivers."
Given the documented drop in confidence among consumers, there's good reason to be wary of Tesla's move-fast and break-things approach to what it calls "self-driving."

Here's the most recent Nintendo investor-focused Q&A.

I used to google to translate the blue highlighted section on Q8.

What are your thoughts on this Bravo, could we be apart of this ?

This was the translation from Q4.

I'm not really sure what "vinegar" has to with any of this though?

Hi @Smoothsailing,

I beleive it's quite likely for reasons outlined here #58,557.

In addition, I beleive there has also been some speculation that the Nintendo Switch 2 might be a trimmed down variant of the NVIDIA Thor SoC, which if this proves to be true, then the power consumption/ battery life would likely be an issue, which AKIDA may be able to help offset IMO.

But, I'm not an expert and all of this is just speculation on my behalf.

Thanks Bravo , that put a smile on my face , it seems we are getting real close to ‘ game time ‘.
no pun intendo.

What do you use vinegar with? Chips of course! Brainchip perhaps? Now there's some premium dot joining for you

That's amateur dot joining. The Cockneys are the masters. For example, how do you get the name "Aris" for someones bottom? Well, Aris is short for Aristotle, Aristotle rhymes with bottle, bottle is made of glass, glass rhymes with arse!! And there you have it fellow Brainiacs, a perfect examlpe of the type of dot joining that often goes on around here!!!!!

We know that Mr musk is not a big fan of AI.. BUT….. I just make some wild speculation…. BUT IF he is impressed by AKIDA because he realised our solution is working perfectly also without cloud connection or internet. Maybe he could work at something with our technology behind the scenes to improve one or some of his projects….- and push us to space with his rockets…. Wait he already did… yeah what ever… you know what I mean…. I like this more then this Mercedes hype

Sometimes it helps if you read the instructions first, and don't make up your own definition of highway.

It means BrainChip will make good and nothing to worry about. Leave the $100 at the bar until we catch up next time.
Have a good weekend and that even includes DK6161. I am glad DK 6161 has his cousin currently writing new material on MF even though it’s more shite.
