BRN Discussion Ongoing

I’m going to follow the example of a few others and leave the forum.

Ok, her is my attempt at reverse phycology. In the past every time I've bought (and told friends about it) at what I thought was a bargain in most cases it backfired.
I did sell some a while ago to pay a debt which wasn't essential but i thought necessary.
So I hope to regret my sale in the coming weeks/months as I still hold quite a few.

Do you think I could find one? 🙄..

So many dumb gifs. The opinion expressed was correct. Brn has tonnes of potential but minimal runs on the board. In the old sporting expression look at the scoreboard. Unless you brought in many many moons ago you’re in the red. 🤷‍♂️ another old expression money talks bullshit walks. People need to stop playing the man and play the ball. Ha I’m on fire tonight. Fingers crossed for positive announcement tomorrow. Or next week. Or next month. Maybe before the end of the year.

From a recent QuinetiQ and Wired report.

We get an outline in the neuromorphic section.

They also give some general thoughts on neuromorphic from a defence & national security perspective.

Might notice something about the chip image :)

The foundation stone was laid today for TSMC in Europe, located in eastern Germany, where others such as Intel and GlobalFoundries are also building their plants. We already call it Silicon Saxony.
The plant will specialise in automotive chips.

Bosh, Infineon and NXP are involved in this factory.

Absolutely agree - Tony Lewis was an excellent choice as CTO, as he is so well connected and respected in the neuromorphic community!

I recall Ralph Etienne-Cummings referring to him in another Brains & Machines podcast. The two of them go back a long way, by the way…

Just some examples:

Tony Lewis getting yet another mention by Ralph Etienne-Cummings (Professor of Electrical and Computer engineering at Johns Hopkins University) in the latest Brains & Machines podcast, who also refers to and expresses his interest in the new Akida Edge AI Box (built in partnership with VVDN):

When posting about the recent Brains & Machines podcast with Amirezza Yousefzadah, one of my comments was:


👆🏻Bingo! So at the time the podcast with Elisa Donati was recorded, Sunny Bains was planning to meet up with our CTO before or after NICE 2024, which means sometime next week! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this prospective visit of hers will work out and lead to an intriguing podcast episode…

I noticed our CTO Tony Lewis “celebrating” a post by Shamita Etienne-Cummings, the wife of his fellow academic peer in neuromorphic engineering & robotics and long-time co-author (and dare I presume friend?) Ralph Etienne-Cummings, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (see 👆🏻 REC: “Yeah, Tony and I have published together quite a bit as well, so we have a long history together.”), whom those of you who have listened to one or more episodes of the Brains & Machines podcast will recognise as the regular post-interview discussion partner of Giulia D’Angelo and Sunny Bains.

Possibly it’s merely an acknowledgement of an acquaintance’s or friend’s impressive accomplishment.
(Unfortunately, the linked article about Paul Hastings LLP’s IP & Litigation teams that in March saw six of their current partners make a simultaneous high-profile switch from another big law firm is behind a paywall.)

However, with the very recent under-our-radar exit of our Perth-based patent attorney Milind Joshi in combination with the detailed outline of key risks in the July 25 Investor Presentation (three full pages!), I can’t help but wonder whether there is more to this than a simple 👍🏻 🎉 on LinkedIn.

Are we going to see a change of IP & patent law firm to a (this?) US-based one as part of the consolidation process that also saw the closure of the Perth Research Institute in late June?

And letting the speculations run wild: Could there perhaps even have been a concrete breach of patent or some kind of major dispute for BrainChip to take legal action? Or is another company suing us for breach of patent? (With biotech companies, this seems to happen all the time…)
Finally, putting on rose-coloured glasses, we could ask ourselves whether the timing of such a move to a new IP and patent law firm in the US (provided it materialises) might even bode well for an imminent licensing of our IP, although the recent CR doesn’t exactly suggest this wishful scenario to be of one very high probability?

The above is all pure speculation, of course, as our CTO’s reaction on LinkedIn could be totally coincidental and unrelated, but I wanted to share my observation nevertheless. Time will tell…

I get that it is hard to predict the timelines of other companies that are currently testing Akida or have already committed to using our technology.

But why can’t our company at least keep to self-imposed timelines???

This big event is coming up next month - Semicon India Conference 2024 scheduled for 11-13 September 2024 in Greater Noida, at India Exposition Mart Limited

Moschip and Tata will be part of it.



"Propelling India semiconductor industry growth is exploding demand for smartphone, automotive, and data storage innovations. To help drive continuing technology advances and meet domestic demand, the India Semiconductor Mission, an initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has attracted industry giants including AMD, Applied Materials, and Micron Technology to invest in its chip sector.

In a key move to help grow India’s semiconductor industry, SEMI and Messe Muenchen India are partnering with Electronic Industries Association of India-ELCINA to organize the inaugural edition of SEMI’s flagship event, SEMICON India in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. Sep. 11-13, 2024. The SEMICON India exhibition and conference will co-locate with electronica India and productronica India – Southeast Asia’s largest electronics industry fairs."

Actually, with all that's going on, I'm beginning to wonder, if all the mistakes, the most recent bad one (that Im aware of) being our new marketing manager's first slide spelling Australian wrong (which is something that could possibly be overlooked and be genuine) but getting the ASX stock code wrong??
BRD instead of BRN??

Are these deliberate mistakes, to deter investors and help out particular parties??

I'm losing confidence in particular areas of management, of this Company.

That's not to say BrainChip and AKIDA won't be successful, but it looks increasingly like fishy things are happening, behind close doors and under the table, for the express benefit of other parties.

Hi DingoBorat,

I don’t believe in a conspiracy here (no offence, but why doesn’t it surprise me that you are inclined to do so 😜) - I reckon it is just sloppiness.
Sadly, those silly mistakes just keep on happening.

Here is an even more recent example that I don’t think was mentioned, yet:

B5001496-AD58-4F24-8F45-24076309E9C2.jpeg



To me it seems totally odd that someone would retire on the penultimate day of the year. To the best of my knowledge, 2024 will remain a leap year - as the US government has not officially announced to trade in New Year’s Eve for February 29, shouldn’t Anil Mankar’s last day on BrainChip’s payroll read Dec 31 instead?

Next up, there is a glaring typo in Jonathan Tapson’s first name, and three lines further down, an indefinite article is missing (“is a recognised leader”).
Oh, and let’s just ignore the repetitive sentence structure in “Dr. Tapson… He… He…”, which reminds me of a first or second-grader’s style of writing, shall we?

It is hard to believe, though, that whoever penned this ASX announcement managed to fit yet another error into that paragraph: No, Jonathan Tapson was NOT most recently the CSO of GrAI Matter Labs - he left that company back in January 2021(!) to become CTO of IONA Tech, more than two and a half years before it was snapped up by Snap.

You really gotta wonder - once again - how on earth this ASX announcement got “authorised for release by the BRN Board of Directors”?!

Last time I checked, The Neverending Story (original title Die Unendliche Geschichte) was written by the late Michael Ende (whose surname happens to be the German word for “end” resp.“The End”, which is quite surreal - and no, it’s not a nom de plume).

Whatever happened to the good old Bronze Sponsorship? I guess Platinum is the new Gold and Gold is the new Silver?

I wonder if we can come up with a more creative (and still cost-effective) sponsorship for next year’s event? Any suggestions?
(Watercooler Sponsor sounds a tad too parsimonious, though.)

Further to some previous excellent digging by @cosors and @Frangipani this guy who used to work at Tata Elxsi did some time at FZI and my guess worked with Akida there too by the looks. Timeline of work fits as does scope.

I see that our silver sponsorship still enabled "itty bitty" Brainchip to get promoted alongside the likes of corporate behemoths like Intel foundry, Samsung, Accenture, Global Foundries, tsmc.....

Tablecloth sponsor is a possible option.

TT
