Elon's new motto:

"Move fast and fall flat on your face!"

Do you mean the Tesla files
An extract:
"...
The documents that Krupski claims he was able to download from the internal project management system included thousands of customer complaints about Tesla's Autopilot, the company's most strategically important project. They did not match the claims that Musk had been making for years about the alleged quality of his software.

We had a great conference with the EDGE AI FOUNDATION, validating our approach with Akida2 with TENNs, which we will start rolling out for evaluation in summer 2025.

Short interview with Alf Kuchenbuch recorded five weeks ago at Edge AI Milan 2025:

The video running in loop on the screens at the BrainChip booth shows two people wearing bulky VR headsets. Have we seen this footage before?

Not sure, though, whether this has anything to do with us, as I don’t recognise any of our tech?

And are we supposed to interpret more into the fact that the 5V Media team who made the video included footage of these three gentlemen from Arduino twice when Alf Kuchenbuch was asked “What does being part of the foundation mean to you?”, to which he replied “It’s great to work with everybody and finding out if there are maybe some opportunities where we can actually connect and see if we can do something together.” resp. “What excites you most about the future of Edge AI?”, to which he replied “It’s probably this aspect of all the parts of the chain coming together and being super low-power. So in the end [cue picture above, which, however, doesn’t look like this has anything to do with Arduino either, as their boards are always blue as far as I’m aware] solutions that are possible that run on a coin cell battery for months, even for a whole year, that would be something, for more autonomy…”

While we do have some touchpoints with Arduino…

(…) Now here comes the question for the more tech-savvy: Would it still hypothetically be possible that we are involved?

I did find two references online that Portenta X8 now has support for the Akida PCIe module (one by YouTuber Chris Méndez from the Dominican Republic, who works for Arduino and has uploaded several videos featuring the Akida), but couldn’t find anything regarding Portenta H7…

And since I’m in the mood of maxing out my file uploads again, here are Padma AgRobotics’ SBIR phase I and II applications, in case anyone would like to use these to fuel or end this speculation (note that they refer to a cilantro harvester, though, not to the weed-control AI-powered agricultural robot featured on their website and in the January 2023 video):

… the two companies have so far never announced any formal kind of collaboration.

It could of course be some general footage from Edge AI Milan 2025, like the first or last few seconds of the video, but it did strike me as odd.

Purely coincidental. Yeah nah. lol
So much BS going on here and on the crapper with some clicky group shite thrown in (happy clappers and negative Nancies). All amusing. Hope all had a good day.

Looks like they are 'happy clapping' at the White house now. Not a bad convert to have on your side.
What is that old, maybe new saying? 'today the White house, tomorow the world'?
This would have got some market interest had it been non price sensitive announced. I guess that is why it was not announced - fear of to much attention and a price spike the ASX do not like??
I guess the power of AKIDA just has to ours and the White House's little secret for now.

Akida gets a mention alongside Loihi 2 - representing “brain-inspired hardware” - in a chapter of a book titled Machine Vision Analysis in Industry 5.0 Fundamentals, Applications, and Challenges, to be published by Chapman & Hall in September: “Chapter 9: Comprehensive Study of Machine Vision and Image Analysis in Industry 5.0” (pp.216):

By describing herself as an “Independent Researcher in AI” and listing her private Gmail address, co-author Royana Anand (possibly related to first author Surabhi Anand?) makes it clear she has not contributed to this publication in her capacity as an AWS (Amazon Web Services) employee.
