BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DingoBorat]

Agree with all that agree that Mercedes is involved with us. Why would a trusted brand yell from the rooftops that they are using Akida and cause the share price to go into the $2s and then no longer use us. That in my opinion makes zero sense in a major brand doing this without conviction for Akida.
And for Brainchip to have Mercedes logo on their website says it all ❤. Love Mercedes love Brainchip. ❤ 'Best in class' ❤
Happy Sunday fellow Brners

I don't understand why people are so excited about the prospect of Mercedes using us.

How Screwed Is The European Car Industry? - The Autopian

This morning’s volume of The Morning Dump will be a little different. Rather than break down the day’s news into a bunch of smaller, partially interwoven stories, I’m just going to tell one big story in an effort to answer the question: How screwed is Europe’s car industry? There’s a lot of...

Mercedes-Benz's revenue fell short of expectations in the second quarter of 2024. The German luxury carmaker anticipates continued weak demand and has adjusted its margins guidance downward.

Mercedes will be a great Marquee Brand, to have under our wings, but the car industry, especially Western, is one in decline, what with the strong competition from countries like China (unless strong tariffs are used) but even then, less and less people are buying or wanting new cars.

Technological advances and conveniences, are lessening people's "need" to drive, let alone make a substantial investment, in what is usually a very rapidly depreciating "asset".

The car industry, as a whole, is dying a slow death, in my opinion.
And It won't be the main driver of BrainChip's success, in the Future.

It's smaller Edge devices, like hearing aids, mobile phones, smart health monitoring (like smart rings etc), smart appliances etc, security etc etc etc.

If there is any "large" purchase type product, that I'd personally be excited to be incorporated in, it's Humanoid Robotics.

This is an industry in it's infancy, but one that is very rapidly advancing and will within a very short period of Time (I believe within the next 5 years, okay maybe 7 to 8... 10?) become orders of magnitude larger, than the automotive industry.

Cars are dinosaurs, in terms of the general public desire to own, or buy new ones.

Umm, so, hopefully the price goes up to $4.78 (and then hopefully retire)

I don’t know how to copy the link here so here is the YouTube 1 day screen shot on Nintendo that mentioned AI and the reveal at CES on the 7th of Jan 2025
Maybe Someone here can assist further with a breakdown of the AI and if we are involved ?.

I posted the patent the other day. Check my history.

Nintendo are using AI to upscale images. Looks like it is NVIDIA not us? But I need someone smarter than me to delve deeper.

I read through the whole patent and what I can confirm is that I didn’t understand any of it . However, I didn’t see one use of the term “Mac” , and from what I’ve learned here over time is mac’s are bad and usually mean not us!

DB please explain how Trump's tariff policy is going to hurt China???? Let's say a 25% tariff (reports are it could be as high as 60%) is placed on Chinese goods that would only mean American's pay a 60% higher price for those goods which will lead to inflation for the US which would lead to higher interest rates and then China could dump some of their massive US treasuries forcing the US to pay more for their debt......and if Trump's policies do hurt China how is that going to be good for Australia who has China as their biggest exporters with over $200B last year.???

Honest question as I don't really give F about who votes for who but respect their choice. I know Trump likes to destroy the norms but I just don't understand this tariff move.

Good morning,

This Dell Patent was published about 2.5 months ago and we are mentioned in the artwork, better to be talked about, rather
than not at all.....this may have already been posted, I can't actually remember, it will be interesting if we happen to do an interview
with Michael Dell during CES 2025.


Nice work Frangi...

What I personally like is his use of AKIDA II...........just saying

You do remember this don't you?

Almost 4 years ago.

We all thought (Knew) that revolutionary was Brainchip. What we didn't all know is how long it takes for a revolution to eventuate. But I think finally 2025 could actually be the year the Brainchip does start to make inroads. We are getting a lot of static on informtion about how things are turning. Media here, articles there. Step by step there is some traction and as we've seen, Akida is just starting to appear in product. Who would have thought space was going to be the first huh?

Still not convinced its going to be this side of the FY, but if the big boys feel its close, then they won't be waiting for the Ann to come. Is this what is currently happening? Are we just now starting to take our first steps to real commercialisation. If it is, then it will only move from here. $2.34 will look like pigeon feed by the time the really big stuff hits the market. Then $10 will be in our rear vision mirror. I'll say $10 before Xmas 26.

I’d be happy with anything below $1 next Xmas even so I think it will be a lot more and I’m only saying that so I can buy more at this stupidly low prices and nothing else. Not saying I’m tight or anything

Spot on @TopCat, MAC’s are bad…well that’s how I always look at things according to Barrel Sitter and his ogres @Diogenese

Hi Andy,

Slight amendment to that - TENNs uses MACs - just teeny weeny ones.

Even worse, it uses backpropagation.

Hi Larry.
This may be wrong and only a simplified version, but it's my take as I understand it.

Any tariff paid, will be a tax, which will directly strengthen the US economy as a direct input.
By effectively increasing the price of foreign goods for its citizens, it makes US produced product more competitively priced, and hence more attractive within America.
This artificial impost is designed to promote manufacturing within USA, effectively turning back the clock to a time when America was still producing 'on shore' rather than importing virtually everything, as we do, from China, and other countries where labour can be had at a cheaper cost.
So, this is designed to promote full employment with a wider range of jobs and more companies producing locally, without having to artificially repress the cost of local production and lower the local standard of living.

This effectively "hurts" China and other current manufacturers (and their suppliers) by effectively reducing demand for their product.
If they wish to retain the volume of their sales, they have to reduce their prices, effectively transferring a portion of their profit margin directly into America's coffers.

Australia and many other countries systematically removed tariffs and adopted various versions of "free trade"during the last century in a bid to help the third world catch up and in the understanding that it would have a beneficial impact on all participants.

That was the theory anyway and we all have witnessed the great strides China (for example) has taken in modernising their infrastructure and increasing the living standards of its people.
However, it was widely expected that other western norms (democratic freedoms and a strong free press) would arise concurrently making these countries foreign versions of us or friendly clones, but strong crackdowns by the extent regimes have prevented this from occurring thus far.

So, in essence, Trump's (make America great again) strategy is designed to reverse the flow of both capital and economic influence from outwards back to inwards for American companies and as a way to reestablish American pride.

America is a large enough economy to be self sustaining so it may well have a short term positive effect, but the longer term repercussions of America's isolationism, both at home and for the rest of the world, are yet to be revealed.

I thought an increase let say 60% in tariffs was only an increase in the current import tax, so say the import tax wax currently 10% it would then go up to 16%?

Trump is a business man… on the end they will make a deal which will be worth it for all.. he knows how to bring things up to rolling …

Good analysis HP but I disagree when the country you are imposing these "taxes" against hold your own country's debt in their hands.......as you said....

"Any tariff paid, will be a tax, which will directly strengthen the US economy as a direct input."

So Trump is in effect raising taxes (which he said he would never do - obvious political rhetoric) and competing against companies paying the lowest wages in the world - which will be even lower compared to the US once the inflation bites due to the tariffs.

Anyway thanks for the analysis.......I am not an economist in any way just don't understand the underlying logic and more importantly the real effect of the tariffs (and not sure DT does either).

Cheers

Happy as Larry
