‘It takes two to tango’
The 1000 eyes and ears continue to feed us with all sorts of associations and scenarios to dine on. This weekend, I would like to pose a question and make a comment for all in TSE land to consider.
The question…given the impact on our stock price of the Mercedes Benz press release, what do you think a price sensitive announcement via the ASX would have, if it advised that an Internationally known and respected organisation (let’s say Samsung) has licensed Akida?
The comment…me myself personally believes that our battler has reached a stage where they can and should offer more information to stockholders via 4C’s, without contravening NDA’s and other confidentiality agreements. Eg…the recent quarterly should have outlined how many of each of the three development boards were sold and how many are on order. Similarly, the time for statements like ‘explosion in sales’ should end, and be replaced by sober forecasts of what the company anticipates in the next quarter and the next year. For instance, from quarter to quarter, we should be told simple things like accounts receivable. Apart from anything else, this would reveal if any license revenue was expected in the coming quarter, without breaching any confidentiality agreements.
Our CEO has suggested we watch the financials…c’mon Sean, it takes two to tango.
Saturday musings…
If yesterday’s momentary 20% plus rise on a day world stock markets tumbled was caused by one or more dot joining exercises being discussed here by our 1000 eyes, or perhaps some sort of rumour that the ‘eyes‘ haven’t yet discovered, it has given us sample B (sample A was Mercedes) of what we can expect when a press release from an internationally known and respected organisation saying they’re using Akida hits the airwaves.
My comments above suggesting our company should be able to offer more financial information WITHOUT breaching any NDA or other confidentiality arrangement were misconstrued by those who commented. I wasn’t asking for emergency meetings, talking about revolution at the AGM or anything else. I was simply suggesting that BRN should be able to do this WITHOUT jeopardising their relationship with any potential partner or customer, and / or breaching any confidentiality agreement they have with same.
I occasionally wonder how things would be if instead of ‘the war on terror’, we had spent what this has cost on education, health and other aid…in other words, to have offered hope rather than despair for the people within all the societies we’ve blown up.
I sometimes ponder why America thinks it has to be the only superpower…that the status quo after the Berlin Wall came down must and will always remain when clearly it will not. Why America and its Allies lack the intellectual grasp to understand that we would all be better off if we accept that China is a superpower, and work towards becoming partners rather than rivals. We certainly don’t have to agree with everything China is or does (who amongst us can cast the first stone) but rather than threats and talk of conflict via the megaphone of the media, use firm, respectful diplomacy to continually make our views known, and to develop good relations.
Am I alone feeling despondent about how we keep throwing up evil monsters like Putin. Without going back too far, we have Stalin, Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Kim to name but a few. Why does it keep happening, and why are we so impotent when it comes to stopping these guys in their tracks?
I occasionally look at photographs of our world, sent back by Voyager as it became the first human-made object to leave our Solar System. Earth appeared as a tiny distant light, our lonely little planet, the only home we have. Yet we use and abuse it mercilessly, talking about living on other planets rather than working towards serious international action to fix the harm we’re causing.
I could go on with my meanderings, but I won’t cos you may be wondering where I’m going with all this.
I only read a small amount of the information that arrives via the 1000 eyes on this forum. We hear about possible associations with this company, that company…about this industry, that industry…about this application, that application. The more I read, the more I believe that Akida will eventually become entirely ubiquitous…it will be everywhere, and our little battler will become a giant.
But where will AI and in particular Akida take us? Peter has told us what he expects from Akida 2000 and 3000, but where might Akida 4000, 5000 et al take us? Maybe Akida will save humanity from itself.
’it’s like the circles that I find, in the windmills of my mind’
