BRN Discussion Ongoing

[equanimous]

I have just thought of a use case in consumer doorbells powered by AKIDA they could judge whether your better half or teenager has arrived home angry or petulant and refuse to open the door until their mood has improved.

Some better halves and teenagers may never get in of course but their cloud would truly provide a silver lining for the happily indoors family members.

Sound on. Its moments like these that you need twisties

Honestly, most people are proud and don’t want advice. I’m convinced some people would rather miss the boat than having to thank me for a stock tip in the future. Anyone else feel this way?

Not really no. Risk profile is a very personal thing so I would find it difficult to assume they were just too proud. Maybe they just don't have spare money (which is far from unusual) in which case getting stock tips might just be frustrating.

I have mentioned BRN to a few people who responded like a potential investment is akin to pushing flat earth theory, which I can understand...ie they essentially nodded politely and backed away slowly. As you know I'm not a flat earther but do get that BRN takes a little more time to grasp than your average investment; hopefully less now with the crazy exposure and physically implemented use cases and obvious market opportunities surfacing with significant companies. At least a galaxy away from when I invested. The most exciting thing (and it was in it's own way) we had in the way of demonstrations was a little 2D car going around a race track on it's own and learning to do it quickly (and another earlier one which is bit harder to describe) - so I'm quite proud to have understood it then and to have seen the potential value in it. Also attended an AGM where I got to see the Akida plan on slides (and a demonstration in software) and Peter's passion in person (I will never forget it - and I'm sure people are sick of hearing it). As always thankyou to Peter and company for giving me something worthwhile to invest in and being so committed to their goals. Of course there was always the risk that the practical implementation and commercialisation (the start of it) wouldn't have gone as well as it did.
If you ask me, sure take advice/opinions on board but don't let anyone, no matter how qualified they seem (or claim to be) make your financial decisions for you. You need to fully understand what you are getting yourself into and the potential consequences for you and the people around you (both good and bad). People make mistakes and good decisions all the time, unfortunately you'll only know after the fact so keep in mind you can always have a plan that limits mistakes or allows for life changes/needs. Sometimes that plan might need to change over time as well (as I think has been mentioned), nobody knows the future.

My immediate family has seen what I've been through (which has impacted them negatively in various ways) so I can understand why they might not be overly excited about risking the money they have. Saying that my parents have seen some benefit in owning shares (some BRN), certainly in a more modest and diversified way to what I have and that has been of benefit to them which is nice to see.

I am VERY fortunate to have ended up with the number of shares I did (though it represents most of my life savings) and having sold some has taken a great deal of pressure off. If you can't pay to live it's going to be very difficult to stay invested in something for any period which is what instos, shorters and high frequency traders count on (financial distress and ignorance of their tactics)- [edit: as well as the interception of trade info before it happens with their connection to the asx WANKA box and special 'mates' rules which is grand theft on an unimaginable scale, likely surpassing even the GFC bailout] If I hadn't held them this long I simply wouldn't have got the return but I won't say I've never had second thoughts and doesn't mean it couldn't have gone the other way very easily. Again the founder/s and co. didn't give up because they had a mission and I am grateful for it and will be, I suspect well into the future from not only a financial perspective but the benefits the tech can bring to so many areas in life.

Edit: I realise I've shared my story a few times on this and 'the other' forum but feel it's good to remind myself of how I got here and maybe save some others from making similar mistakes.

Yes, that's a great idea FF! Or what about a smart doorbell that would only let you in if you were good-looking? Upon reflection that mightn't be such a good idea. I'm sure my neighbours would get a bit freaked out about having their doors fly open every time I walked past.

Imagine if the doorbells are keyword coded. I'd set mine to
1. My husband is always right (my wife passwords).
2. Brainchip rules the world, I should have listened to Victor G (WANCA's passwords).

 

[Violin1]

If you are referring to persons who are not currently involved in the stock market, then it's a bit daunting to set up a trading account and invest in shares especially in the current world environment.
For those that are actively involved in shares some don't want advice while others are happy to at least do some of their own research and make their own mind up.
I have spoken to a number of mates about BRN and only one (female) has made an investment. Lucky her.

There's an old saying 'there is no such thing as a certainty.'
But after years of research, I believe that Brainchip is closer to a certainty than a $1.20 nag at the races.

Ditto. Lol. Amazing isn't it?

 

[Straw]

...also on reflection, at times because I'd invested for all practical purposes all my money in it and it was down 90% I felt like I had no choice but to hold which is a hard thing to live with and not something I'd wish on anyone. Again a plan would have helped.
I was fortunately invested in a company that was able to keep finding a way forward and for that I will be forever grateful.

 

[FJ-215]

Yep nobody had it as it was the most wanted to see part of the video. If my scattered brain recalls correctly @TechGirl was spending time with her Dad

I was lucky enough to watch it live.

Absolute Gold!!!

When that question dropped they looked at each other like a couple of naughty school boys. IIRC Clement (right of screen) recovered and reaffirmed that their tech was all developed in house but then blurted out that if they were using any third party tech they would disclose it at a later time (words to that effect)

That was a mega cringe moment for me like *face palm* OMG. That was the last thing anyone expected. Very, very awkward.

But the reaction???

Sweet mother of God and I don't have a religious bone in my body.


PS. how is the diet going?

 

[Fact Finder]

I had a thought just now and it was that @MarketingMan must be one very happy marketing man this past week or so because his "what if' became not 'what if' but a known fact Intel is a Brainchip partner. So having dared to dream I thought it would be right and proper to remind everyone of his dream that has now become reality:

Intel invests in open-source RISC-V processors, creates billion-dollar fund​

Intel invests in open-source RISC-V processors, creates billion-dollar fund​

Intel and RISC-V working together is a game-changer, and today is the day that RISC-V becomes a chip power.

www.zdnet.com
Intel, which has made billions from its closed-source, complex instruction set computer (CISC) x86 processors, is joining forces with RISC-V, the open-source reduced instruction set computer (RISC) CPU group. What next? Dogs and cats living together!?

Reading an article like this makes me realise that Intel is (of course) willing to look outside of its own research labs to find technology worth backing.

Which makes you wonder has Intel considered manufacturing Edge AI devices under license from BrainChip?

Have they even considered it? Well, let's test that...

1. Do they know about BrainChip? Of course they do.
2. Have they evaluated BrainChip's technology? You would have to guess they have acquired a Chip and all the support bits and torn it apart. I think they would understand it in great detail.
3. Have they thought about building an AI device/chip under license? Yeah, they would have to have at least tossed the idea around even if they rejected it. Either that or work out a way to get around the patents (or come up with something different).

Have they spoken with BrainChip and explored this option? DON'T KNOW
We don't know who the EAP companies are.
We don't know much.

But, what IF?

There’s some nice nuggets in there!

Interestingly they are forecasting a significant increase in revenue next year. They are no slouch either currently with net sales this year of the order of 1.2 billion aud.

AMD have been outperforming Intel with their CPU's and GPU's the last couple of years. Intel need a new edge to come back out front or they fade in the background. Welcome Brainchip

 

[TasTroy77]

That was removed from the video

Yes it was definitely removed from the video as I watched it live and it was so obvious that both of the Valeo CTO were caught off gaurd and the both looked at each other in astonishment as the question was asked are Valeo using brainchip IP.
Big green tick

 

[Fullmoonfever]

Nice to see we included in a recent (Dec 22) research paper by this team from the Euro Space Research.

Neuromorphic Computing and Sensing in Space
Dario Izzo∗†, Alexander Hadjiivanov∗†, Domink Dold∗†
Gabriele Meoni∗†‡
, Emmanuel Blazquez∗†

∗Advanced Concepts Team (ACT), European Space Research & Technology Centre
(ESTEC), Keplerlaan 1, 2200 AG Noordwijk (Netherland)
†All authors have contributed equally to this work.
‡Φ-lab, European Space Research Institute (ESRIN), Via Galileo Galilei, 1, 00044
Frascati RM (Italy)

Only mentioned about 3 times but pertinent mentions imo given it's EU which often seems dominated by their own geographic offerings and in fairness this paper an overview on the neuromorphic topic.

Though I do wish when they research they research properly...in regard to on chip learning as highlighted in the box

What I'd did like was the table and have highlighted a couple of things.

Full paper attached.

I too watched this live, what a gold moment as they turned to each other and that 5 seconds of silence!!!! PRiCELESS.

Bring on next generation Lidar Valeo we know you loved using us.

My password is the word "incorrect". That way if I forget it I am always reminded of what it is.

NASA is sending up another space craft to map Oceans , Rivers, Lakes and other related Water Resources ........ now I wonder if " Lidar " would be one of those preferred methodology's to use in this case.. ?? !!

Fair enough, well said Straw!
I will admit I was being a little unfair in my over all generalisation of humanity. I just get frustrated when people don’t get the opportunity. I will say this, I am not a Brainchip street preacher, I only share this nugget when someone asks. You can only lead a horse to water I guess.

What’s with Robert Mitro claiming to be co founder, chairman and CEO of Brainchip? Am I missing something here
