Video interview with BrainChip CEO, Sean Hehir

Thanks for Sharing @Sirod69, another 1,000 Eyes member..

I've been a long term holder since early 2015. This interview has given me much more resilience to the present negative noise around and I would highly recommend any holder to view if they have any sort of doubt or if you are considering to sell.

Now we just have to work out Who's the Communications Company

Thanks FF.

That’s massive given he would have to have been working with Akida with Valeo.

The Qualcomm video posted by MC was all about EV ADAS cars. From memory the CEO stated he wanted to grow Qualcomm from $100B to $700B through cars and having them as an extension to the home.

Hoping we’re re a part of that and what you’ve posted indicates we’re a good chance!

The current SP is not a reflection of where we’ll be in 2025. I’m still accumulating.

Cheers!

It is interesting that the Brainchip slide that references the five senses in Sean Hehir’s presentation also lists ‘ultrasonics’ and in this fellows CV he includes during his time at Valeo

“▪ Impacted various product lines including interior cameras, ultrasonics & lidar for adoption of AI”

While I have found papers covering research in this area the fact that Valeo is a confirmed EAP in my opinion creates a large dot as to where AKIDA and ultrasonics have been secretly meeting.

Managed to listen to Sean's interview on the go.

My favourite quotes:

'Get it into the hands of customers this year, next year and the year after that'.
# about customers - 'We are like their kryptonite'
'We have a relationship with a communications company that we didn't think there was a use case for'.
'We have one of the best kept secrets in the world'.
'I am competitive in nature'.
'We are not worried about cash whatsoever'.
'I am just wanting to get the word out. That is what is keeping me up at night'.


I also really liked Tony's voice as well. Would have a beer with him.

 

[TECH]

Listened to the latest presentation, Sean comes across extremely well...he is definitely the right man for the job, Peter and Anil made a first class appointment there.

Tony also spoke very clearly and drove home the point about predicted market growth over a 2 to 5 year time frame, and as stated, we would be crazy not to go for it, whether that's a 1% piece of the pie or 60% plus piece, we are clear leaders, and have the technology to sell, finding top quality sales people isn't an easy gig, this is a highly, revolutionary, specialised engagement that requires a special skillset, fast learners focused on the key points, then let the engineering guns, Anil and Kris carry the heavy burden, while Peter is years in advance with his brilliant visions, just remember, our Perth team is where all this future potential lies in advancement of our first commercialised product, AKD 1000.

Sean made a number of points that caught my attention.

As many of us, possibly all the long termers haver come to realise that, we may only hear about a few EAP's over the next, say 5 years, the message is going to be in the revenue earnings per quarter, as mentioned a few days ago, the future figures will do all the talking.

The other point was dealing with a Communications Company, as such.

I personally believe that we have and are dealing with BROADCOM INC

Going back to when Lou was at the helm, just call it a strong gut feeling, sometimes I'm right on the money

Rather than complaining about the current share price, buy some, the technology is advancing each and every day, whether that be by collaboration between our engineers and EAP engineers or back at the Research and Innovation Centre in Perth, nothing is standing still believe me.

Over and out....Tech (Perth)

 

[Quiltman]

A primary role of the CMO is to distil a complex idea/product/company proposition into a simple phrase that can be understood by all, that captures the essence of the organisation, its reason for being, and how it will deliver added value to the market in which it operates.

I think Jerome has already nailed it in his LinkedIn profile when describing the BrainChip organisation :

BrainChip neuromorphic AI is truly transformative and will be the computational foundation of smart sensing in all edge devices. This computing revolution has begun...

It sends a chill down your bones !
And every piece of communication, such as the Sean interview on Strawman, builds on this promise & framework.

GLTAH ... not that much luck is required, just patience.

The global autonomous vehicle market is projected to reach $2,161.79 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 40.1% from 2021 to 2030.

Autonomous vehicles are expected to account for about 12 percent of car registrations by 2030. Global car sales are expected to reach some 101.4 million units that same year.

If we can account for just a 10th of 1 percent of these overall revenues! 2 Billion! NP Margin of 90% and a PE of 20 = hello $20 a share. This does not account for any other revenue from all the other use cases in other industries.

As investors we have chosen a long-term growth play. Let it play out! It's an exciting time to be shareholder.

I’m with you ND: patients is key.

I’ve had a brief look at Qualcomm and stating the obvious they are MASSIVE.

Qualcomm state they are the world’s leading wireless technology innovator with a SP of $136 US.

Their statement: AI is transforming everything.

They already have SNAPDRAGON, and work in mobile, automotive, IOT , XR and cloud.

It’s not a given that AKIDA is going to be implemented by them. They also have a Neural Processing SDK for neural processing which I am hoping like crazy is something to complement AKIDA .

The reason we may be taken up by QUALCOMM is because of our first mover advantage, patents and hopefully their product is inferior and they need some secret sauce, or kryptonite! There is already a technological race which is why the NDA’s and secrecy is so important.

Any company that wants to be competitive in the neuromorphic AI space needs to either adapt AKIDA or take on the task of getting past the patents and quickly creating their own: something no one else had been able to achieve to the standard Brainchip has. Thank you PVDM, AM and the rest of the team!

Any company, such as Intel who wants to fluff around, spending hundreds of millions of R & D dollars to achieve a fail or inferior product may get left behind. No company wants that!

I completely understand the urgency of Mr. HEHIR to get AKIDA adopted by as many of the Fortune 500 companies as he can: as he stated (from memory) “Akida could become the defacto standard.”

There are projects such as Bravo has pointed out where the European countries are defining just that: basic standards for AI. Once that is defined with Akida onboard it will become ubiquitous!

Will Brainchip be successful: I strongly believe it will due to a superior product and brilliant team!

How much success and how quickly are the two variables but I’m confident that by 2025 the SP will be many multiples of where we are now so the short term price now I see as a buying opportunity.

However it won’t be achieved easily and I’m glad the team is focussed on their task of getting the product out there as that will be the real driver of the SP: Adoption by the EAP’s and sales.

Peace

I doubled down on BrainChip, it is a little weird that I had to spend 25 times my initial outlay to do that though. I think I waited too long!

The first thing to recognise is that there are no degrees of negligence.

In civil law you are either negligent or not. Even a little bit of negligence is enough.

If I as a human driver had an accident and I gave the explanation that I thought I had a 90 percent chance of changing lanes safely or stopping if the car in front braked suddenly as far as the law is concerned that is negligence and I should pay for the damage I have caused.

The clever aspect of what Mercedes has done is to be found in the fact they are the first and that they have limited their risk to low speed collisions.

So Mercedes have the first 1,000 kilometre EV and the first acceptance of liability for consequences of an autonomous driving system.

Combining LiDAR with Radar will probably allow level 3 at open road speeds imo since LiDAR is 3d but has a range limit closer than Radar. When vehicles have both technologies working in concert then we will see much wider use of the driving mode.

 

[Fact Finder]

FF ......... You are correct.

I will try to stop the venting ......... not easy, bit like I can't seem to stop smoking.
Not that I like to make excuses but I have been diagnosed Bi Polar long time ago .......... most stuff I do involves releasing my emotions,
probably more than I should and to be honest, I like it like that.

I have learned over many years to self manage this illness and be aware when I need to take a Bex and lay down.
Will try my best to stop venting about the share price manipulation and try to view this as an accepted practice ....... even though it screams out to be complete immoral behaviour in my eyes.
From my experience,
as a reformed pathological gambler ......... still punt but in control now (usually) ....... the most important principle of Punting/Gambling from my studies on the subject comes down to FAIR PLAY.
THE FAIR PLAY ....... I guess it is usually achieved by abiding by THE RULES OF PLAY.

OMG ........ JUST REALISED not for the first time .......... in writing this post, the ASX is not just a contributor to this "IMMORAL BEHAVIOUR" (share price manipulation)
Because they PROVIDE the RULES that allow this to happen ....... the ASX is the sole contributor.

Seems this is really about the House (ASX) running a rigged game ........ MAY BE TIME FOR A LONG and OVERDUE ENQUIRY.

I understood from you or maybe another reply to my venting about this in the past ......... that the Government make easy and good money by allowing the Bots and Algorithms, though I do not fully understand how it works I do get the gist enough to understand - this is NOT RIGHT and proper behaviour.
A proper enquiry just may show the Government is complicit and ALSO be accused of IMMORALITY ???
Is there a case for immoral taxes ? I think there is ...... but not sidetracking there now....... my bedtime soon - the chaos is beginning outside.

I will contact the ASX to see if they want to take part willingly or if some other persuasions will be required.
I should maybe focus my attention and displeasure on the people that are allowing this to happen .................. ASX & Government.
Problem is I have no spare time for this ..... have been trying to find the right lawyers to seek to initiate 2 matters against Government Authorities.

Not easy ......... both would be landmark matters of Negligence and Failure of Duties, unchartered waters.
Both are evidence based about being bullied and treated unfairly ....... "UNCONSCIONABLE CONDUCT"
There is a common theme to my desires for legal actions it seems.

For now I will just keep repeating ........... Patience GrassHopper ...... Patience GrassHopper ..... Patience GrassHopper
Until the good news breaks and no manipulation can hold this baby back !!!!

Patience GrassHopper ...... Patience GrassHopper ..... Patience GrassHopper

Since we are all strangers here ....... just wanted to share some of my history for maybe better understanding me.
Thank you FF for your posts.........
This short psychoanalysis also helped me understand much better who should be the REAL TARGET for my venting

What a significant post.

I am one for honest venting but rather than accepting what is permitted by the other players and the referee and the governing body try simply to understand it for the purpose of achieving your personal goals.

If you think there is a sport theme in the above you are absolutely correct. In all sport there is a concept of fair play which is habitually ignored.

Take cricket, Australia is famous for sledging.

Take football of all codes, niggling as some call it is endemic.

Take Tennis, look at things like racquet abuse, injury breaks, toilet breaks, mistimed ball tosses all designed to interrupt an opponents game.

All these behaviours could be stamped out by referees and governing bodies but they allegedly create colour and passion drawing spectators and driving up ticket sales, sponsorships and media contracts.

The best player is the one who can understand the motivation behind the behaviour is a lack of belief in the opponent that they can win based solely on their personal skill and ability so they have to cheat.

So when you see the conduct that we all despise on the market accept that the person or persons engaging in manipulation either knows or fears they are just not good enough to make money in the markets without cheating.

Keep your cool and know that your failure to react is tearing out their heart.

They cannot win fairly and they cannot win by cheating. The ultimate losers.

Ha ha you sent the questions lol.

Yeah I'm a little crusty I bought more at 99 cents a few weeks ago or so.

Could have waited but in the end my selling price point won't make a difference. IMO.

But I'm really surprised it drifted down this much but we saw it before to. Definately some market manipulation on low new interest but the end game will be rewarding.

Good to see we are part of the graduate intern program at Uni of Michigan

For those that don't know - MCity Test Facility at the University of Michigan is the world's first purpose-built testing ground for autonomous vehicles, it's a mini-town of sorts, made up of 16 acres of road and traffic infrastructure. It includes traffic signals and signs, underpasses, building facades, tree cover, home and garage exterior for testing delivery and ride-hailing, and different terrains such as road, pedestrian walkways, railway tracks, and road-markings which the vehicles must navigate. It's here that experts test scenarios that even the most experienced of drivers may be pressed to handle, from children playing in the street to two cars trying to merge on a junction at the same time.

Not only that but the fellow is an Intern at Brainchip and Nvidia at what appears to be the same time???

When asked in a recent interview about Nvidia being a competitor Rob Telson commented that they did not see Nvidia as a competitor but as a future partner.

Just wild dots or something more???

I think the teco comms company they are working with is Lumen

Lumen supports Solana network on Edge Bare Metal service

The support will allow blockchain developers on the Solana network to take advantage of Lumen’s edge platform without the need to invest in hardware.

Can everyone click on this link and like SiFive's tweet about BrainChip. Their last BrainChip tweet got 127 likes and usually their tweets get under 10 likes.

My hope and theory is, that if BrainChip tweets get them lots of like's then they will tweet something about BrainChip on a regular basis.

We've only got 24 likes on this one so far. Come on team
