Well at this stage of the game, let's hope something happens "overnight" ayeLooking forward to the next 4C as most would be. Peter and Anil are happy to hand over the reins and advise in my opinion. Step back and watch a bit more, knowing what’s in the winds

Was flicking around on Lockheed and this LinkedIn popped up in a search.
Was just interesting to see what a Toyota investor arm Exec thought and I noticed Recogni. Part extract below.
Did a TSE search and saw that @goodvibes picked up on them via RT in 2023. Just never know with Rob's likes

A founder and general partner at Toyota’s investor arm, Jim Adler began his career as a Lockheed Martin rocket engineer before eventually becoming an investor. He joins us for VC Wednesdays.
How does your background as a rocket engineer help as a VC? When you're investing in deep tech, having a technical background is super helpful. Your natural approach is to ask: Does the technology work? What are its potential pitfalls? Does it violate any fundamental laws of the universe, like the second law of thermodynamics or perpetual motion machines? That’s the first qualifier of any of my investments. I'm a big Charlie Munger fan, who said that think about all the things that can go wrong, address them, and you have a much better chance of things going right.
What’s your investment thesis and biggest focus areas in 2024? You can’t centrally plan innovation. We believe that the dynamism of the startup ecosystem forges the future. Our mission is discovery, in terms of what's next for Toyota and the market. We invest out of two funds: our frontier fund, which focuses on deep tech, autonomous mobility and robotics; and our climate fund, dealing with things like carbon capture and storage, renewable energy. AI is one of our biggest focus areas across both funds, but the next wave will actually be more valuable than the current generative AI wave.
How so? I’m in the Yann LeCun-Judea Pearl school of thought, in that there are three rungs of AI — seeing, doing and imagining. We're just in the early innings. What's going to power the next rungs? New computing. So, we're looking at neuromorphic computing. There will be next-gen compute and algorithms that'll be able to do much more with much less energy than today. We have a company called Recogni that provides high throughput and low power for edge inference applications. We’re also thinking about how to use AI to discover new materials for direct air capture and drug discovery, for example, through Orbital Materials.

Yeah looks like 2030, Why haven't they signed any more IP licences I will agree that the time lines have changed. But let's step back to 2021. 1. Revenue projected in late 2022. 2. Breakeven 2023. Now what kinda activity and partnerships did we have in 2021? Was Akida being advertised...

I’m not sure ?
To be honest I didn’t pay much attention to who was on stage I was rather pissed off that I didn’t win it ,
I was ok with it after a few beers & took the judges comments onboard which I’m happy to share
“ your from Melbourne “ ( solid point )
“ you once stated that grade 5 was the best 3 years of your life ( yeah so what )
Always next year

Research Vision and Interests
The main goal of CPHS lab is to develop strategic and trustworthy cyber-physical-human systems which improve safety, reliability, trust and security in human-machine interaction. In this regard, the research team makes scientific and technological advancements in the areas of machine learning, human behavior prediction/modeling, game theory and multi-agent control. The work carried out in this lab is supported by diverse funding agencies such as National Science Foundation, The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CDC-NIOSH) and Boeing.Facilities
Cyber-Physical-Human Systems Laboratory (in short, CPHS lab) is directed by Dr. Sid Nadendla and is housed in Room 101 (Total area: 626 sq. ft) in the Computer Science department at Missouri University of Science and Technology (in short, Missouri S&T). The lab has six high-performance Dell-Precision workstations which are equipped with a wide range of hardware and software capabilities, including MATLAB, Python, MATSIM, TensorFlow and PyTorch. One of these workstations also is equipped with Brainchip's Akida ADK1000 neuromorphic chipset. The lab also has 10 Waveshare JetBot AI kits and 10 additional Nvidia’s 2GB Jetson Nano developer kits, which are used to develop f-1/18th vehicles that can mimic both manual and self-driving cars, as well as road side units in our transportation testbed.
