BRN Discussion Ongoing

[wilzy123]

This is not a positive. Well done to the 50 odd people that liked ROBT "buying up big" post
It took 3 minutes to look up how ROBT is composed. All tech companies in this ETF are ranked into 3 categories. 30 companies per category. Each company has the SAME equal weighting with this being rebalanced quarterly.

SO the only reason they are "BUYING UP BIG" is because they have to due to BRN share price falling quarter on quarter on quarter. The "BUYING UP BIG" is to keep BRN weighted the same in the category they are in.
I guess this post wont get 50 likes even though its correct and factual.

"The share price will do what the share price will do"
Spoken by a person that will never put one dollar of his own money into the company.

LMAO... nothing factually incorrect about my post either.

I've come to the conclusion that it's 99.999% likely WE ARE ACTUALLY ON THE MOON, LIKE WE ARE LITERALLY (NOT US BUT AKIDA IS) ON THE SOUTH POLE OF THE MOON RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND!!!!

Contrary to the naysayers who reckon that Rob spends most of his days "liking" random blogs about vacuum cleaners and horny goat weed, I happen to believe the opposite and this should prove my case in point. But if I'm wrong about this, then I promise I'll stop posting for two days.

Rob Telson liked Shakeel Perra (Micrchip) Linkedin post congratulating ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) on the landing of the Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's south pole.


Here's Rob's . It's just below Brian Coglan's (Microchip).

And, here's a couple of extracts from an article which I highlighted which I think helps to explain why Rob likes it so much and hence why I believe WE ARE ON THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!.

How else is the rover able to learn/ adapt and respond in real-time?

Chandrayaan-3 touchdown: ISRO monitoring a high-stakes game of AI and sensors for moon landing - Chandrayaan 3 touchdown: ISRO monitoring a high stakes game of AI and sensors for moon landing BusinessToday

What sets this mission apart is the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in guiding the spacecraft during its critical descent to the moon's surface

But the question is: Would BrainChip or any other company officially announce that the joint development was terminated? I would say NO. It would just not talk about it anymore, which they didn't do for for a longer time.

So we cannot be sure if it still exists.

We only just had Tony Dawe, confirm 2 or 3 weeks ago, that the 40 odd known Company relationships are still engaging with us..

Seems a lot of people here, just want their hand held..

Well if this is the case (that AKIDA is on the moon) then it confirms something else too - that AKIDA is being handed out for free

Are you really THAT thick that you believe a comment like this? LMAO.....

There is alot of people doing it hard atm. High interest rates, recession and inflation causing heartache and naturally people will lash out.

Cant help to think is this generational buying opportunity like when we were hit with the first wave of covid.

Everyone should have their own personal plan and manage risk tolerance.

Enlighten me then Wilzy, if AKIDA is in all of these groundbreaking projects why the hell aren't we seeing any revenue?

The HY report was as expected. That is it.

We received another patent approval, therefore increasing our value.

The exciting aspects I am looking forward to now is surely some announcement on a joint-venture or IP agreement with someone left field in the business to business capacity. The macroeconomic conditions are still pretty dire for a company to take Akida on in a consumer good capacity seeing whitegood spending and household durable goods are down in the US and Australia.

From the March announcement, it lists the use case of Akida 2 in industrial first (along with automotive, digital health, smart home and city) and the company has shown in videos that are now about two years old what Akida can do for agriculture.

Many are whining about sales, but Viana did say at the AGM that many of the negotiations are at different stages of different processes. Surely Akida 2 with its TENNs capabilities was made in mind of partner's feedback from the above sectors like industrial?

On a personal point of view, it looks like global liquidity may start turning up mid next year (unless a black swan happens... again), and if we haven't made any progress by then on a commerical point of view, that is when opportunity costs creep in. Although, I highly doubt it. I am sure we will get at least one IP contract by the end of this year, and if not, I will be asking the company why especially seeing we supposedly made Akida 2 based on feedback from prospective clients/customers.

To those who whine about revenue, remember the industry we are in. I couldn't care about a tech company's revenue in the past. ChatGPT took only one month to explode. When we are selling our product as an IP, it makes us more fluid to be in more devices faster. No traditional revenue models that many may be used to cannot be used to compare with disuptive innovative tech companies like Brainchip.

Agreed mate. Would be nice if our CEO came out of the w

Enlighten me then Wilzy, if AKIDA is in all of these groundbreaking projects why the hell aren't we seeing any revenue?

I see your point. No announcement, no revenue. Maybe it is one of those NDA or top secret collaboration BS that we are not allowed to know.

I on the other hand believe that we are not involved at all.

New technology can not be released for manufacturing which involves the safety of people without extensive research and rigorous testing.

The last investor updates had proven shorters and fools right about the company and we holders wrong. I don't know what is behind the scenes but the words were almost exact. Our 1.0 was not robust enough to support the sp. Which in other means stands no where.
I am a believer of technology and believes company will learn from their failures and come out of dark. We have better ecosystem, better products , better market insights than what we had 3 years ago. So hopefully things will change for better.
I also believe that 1st strike was an eye opener for the management and if they cannot improve in time that means we are in serious trouble now.
Dyor

The company surely must know that if they don’t hit some targets between now and the next AGM that are tangible or atleast the share price is off the canvas, they’re going to cop another strike..

 

[Foxdog]

I see your point. No announcement, no revenue. Maybe it is one of those NDA or top secret collaboration BS that we are not allowed to know.

I on the other hand believe that we are not involved at all.

But even a top secret collaboration, particularly with a government agency, would require that BRN is paid for supply of expertise, IP, consulting etc, etc. I get that royalties require sale of goods but if the success of a mission, such as landing on the moon, is enhanced by AKIDA then compensation for that success would be required. Perhaps we'll see something in the next 4C. I find all of the potential and sensible dots that posters here are finding should be relating to a revenue stream of some sorts. There is a massive disconnect here that can't be ignored - and we're getting absolutely nothing from the business to suggest that actual revenue is imminent.

Well if this is the case (that AKIDA is on the moon) then it confirms something else too - that AKIDA is being handed out for free

Well in June last year Rob Telson said that we’d helped NASA get into orbit, so maybe it’ll be like a barter situation where we give them some free Akida’s and they give us some free trips to Mars in the not too distant future.

 

[Schnitzel lover]

'Several active customers elected to defer their evaluation of BrainChip’s technology until after the expected release of Akida 2.0 in August 2023'.

So what exactly does this statement from Antonio really mean. It appears to me that no evaluation was done by these companies and that said evaluation will only begin when they get their hands on Gen2. If the usual design cycle is 3 to 4 years then products from this particular cohort of customers will not appear for ages. Have they not been playing around with Akida1000 with the view of incorporating Gen2 quickly into a product range?

Is AKIDA actually groundbreaking? 3 things need to happen over the next month 1. Mercedes confirmation that AKIDA is in their next EV's. 2. Valeo confirmation that we are in Scala 3 and 3. Release of Gen2 and confirmation that specific customer requests have been addressed in this release and that product development is underway to incorporate it.

If by some miracle each of these events come to pass over the next month then we will see a significant re-rate. If none of them happen then I doubt AKIDA is actually a viable solution for the current commercial market. IMO this is a binary outcome that will play out very soon.

And why would you get confirmation of these threes things? If Valeo have been working with us for many years etc etc..

It will be in the price on the hype that industry participants know a product is going to be in the market. It will be in the price before the news..

More information gets shareholders nothing. It’s always after the fact.. IMO

[Schnitzel lover]

I am puzzled to see there are still a number of people looked really surprised about the revenue figure knowing no new license has been signed since November 2021. Of course the jan-jun half year report will post little revenue. Panicing for what you already knew since june?

akida 2.0 is finally so close to its general availability, and we all know unlike the 1.0, 2.0 was developed with partners and customers input. Which means, they told us what they need on top of 1.0, and we developed the 2.0 exactly to their requirements.

Good luck for those thinking about selling out right before the first akida 2.0 ip sale annoucements

Been hearing that same narrative for the last 3 years.. Well many peoples hard earned are highly diminished due to their blind faith whilst non-performing Directors and Sales staff continually get hyper inflated wages..
