BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

OPenAI could easily resolve this conflict of interest issue by purchasing neuromorphic chips from us instead of Rain. The loss of funding via Prosperity7 Ventures is likely to affect the timeline for the launch of Rain's neuromorphic chip. Meanwhile, we're already up and racing out the gate. I know what I'd do if I wanted to maintain the competitive edge!

Why There’s A Conflict Of Interest Debate?​

Rain disclosed to investors that Sam Altman, reinstated as OpenAI CEO last month after a brief dismissal, personally invested over $1 million in the company. While Altman’s return to OpenAI mitigates potential conflicts, it’s noteworthy that during his tenure, OpenAI had committed to a $51 million investment in AI chips from Rain AI, a startup where Altman holds personal investments.


The ambiguity lies in whether Altman influenced OpenAI’s decision to engage with Rain AI for chip purchases.

Nevertheless, the scenario raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, as the CEO of one company (OpenAI) could indirectly benefit financially from another (Rain AI) in which he has personal investments.

Altman Looks At the Middle East​

Earlier this year, Rain showcased its advancements to potential investors, projecting a milestone achievement this month with the potential ‘taping out’ of a test chip – a crucial step indicating readiness for fabrication. However, recent leadership reshuffles and investor changes occurred following a mandate from a U.S. government body overseeing national security risks. The body reportedly required Prosperity7 Ventures, a Saudi Arabia–affiliated fund that led a $25 million fundraising campaign for Rain in 2022, to divest its stake in the company.

This mandated removal of the fund, reported by Bloomberg , adds to Rain’s challenges in bringing its innovative chip technology to market. The forced change may potentially impact the timeline for fulfilling OpenAI’s $51 million advance order. Grep VC, based in Silicon Valley, acquired the shares.

Wearables and we're in with Renesas..These rings began selling on 1 September 2023.. What does everyone think?

Ring From Muse, Renesas Lets Your Fingers Do the…Paying​

OPINION​

Health trackers, or “wearables,” have taken the fitness industry by storm over the last decade. The global wearables market in 2022 was valued at $138 billion, according to data from Precedence Research, and the market’s expected to approach $500 billion by 2032. Now, an Indian start-up called Muse Wearables is releasing a ring that’s far more than a fashion statement or even a health-monitoring ring: To be sure, Ring One’s a clinical-grade tracker that monitors heart rate and variability, blood pressure, respiratory rates, body temperature, and blood-oxygen levels. But, on top of all of those functions, a simple switch of operating mode turns Ring One into an NFC-enabled, electronic-payment device.
Prathyusha Kamarajugadda, KLN Sai Prasanth and Yathindra Ajay KA founded Muse Wearables in 2017, which was incubated at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Madras Incubation Cell program in Chennai, India. Two years later, Muse Wearables released its first product–the Muse Hybrid Smart Watch—with Bluetooth and activity tracking.

Things intensified during the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 when Muse added blood-oxygen–monitoring tech. That was a game changer for players in the healthcare industry in India, which scooped up the watches to provide clinical-grade data that indicates precisely when a patient’s blood oxygen level drops enough to require use of a respirator.
Widespread adoption of the Muse Wearables smart watch allowed the company to collect millions of anonymous data points and refine the accuracy of its health-tracker algorithms. The experience also revealed that watches aren’t necessarily the most practical for patient vital-sign monitoring because they tend to rotate around the wrist, especially when patients are asleep.

Engineers at Muse realized that a finger is a better place to get a good signal and more accurate data.

Muse is confident that the Ring One will change how people engage with their fitness trackers and incentivize them to expand their use of e-payment options.
Outside of a hospital setting, for example, a typical user experience might begin with a sleep-quality score each morning based on overnight vital sign analysis, including important REM sleep periods. During the day, the ring tracks all activity, such as step counts, and issues an alert if the user is stationary for too long. The ring also tracks maximal oxygen consumption, which is a measure of how much oxygen a person uses during an intense workout.
For e-payments, turn Ring One to the right, then a simple wave of the hand engages any point-of-sale terminal without the need for a wallet or phone.

Expanding the feature set​

The Ring One is a marvel of integration. In addition to a temperature sensor, 3D accelerometer and a gyroscope, the company came upon the novel concept of incorporating a single NFC antenna that enables both e-payments and device charging. The addition of a unique user interface complements a Bluetooth feature that allows ring data to be relayed to a smartphone.
The ring has a very small form factor, so it took a lot of thought to design the user interface. The engineers call it a “turn wheel” interface because a user rotates the outer shell of the ring to activate different modes. For example, a user rotates the shell left to start a workout, and then turns it to the right to enable payment mode. The ring also comes with a charging case, which has a battery of its own that will last a month.

Ring One is the first in the world to pioneer a new era by combining wireless charging and NFC payments using a single antenna—and that allows for an extremely compact device. The ring’s innovative, turn-wheel user interface adds further sophistication to the functionality. The technology is underscored by the filing of multiple patents.
To perform both payments and charging using a single antenna, Muse Wearables turned to Panthronics, a unit of Renesas Electronics that specializes in NFC wireless charging tech. Due to the footprint constraints of the project, Renesas was the only solution able to provide NFC charging.
The Ring One uses a Renesas NFC transmitter, which transmits power to the ring from the charging case and provides the industry’s highest output power for faster NFC charging.
A powerful and efficient integrated NFC wireless charging listener SoC enables wireless charging applications together with data communication. Renesas worked closely with Muse Wearables in testing and evaluation.
Muse Wearables began selling Ring One in September.

I think the thing that bamboozles most of us about how long it’s taking BRN to get an actual break is how much news comes from all over the world that sounds like us.. ?? Trouble is most of the time it’s not us. I think the reason for that is more to do with how long it’s taken this first wave of AI products to actually hit the market. I reckon it’s been around 10 years. You know as Dio stated Renesas is an example with their DRP product costing them a bucket to develop over many years. So a lot of what’s coming out now was well and truely in development when BRN first started commercialising Akida. Many Fortune 500 companies may well be planning to incorporate Akida into their second wave of AI products, but it’s the first wave we are seeing now. This has been a difficult thing for most of us to swallow - the time we have endured seeing the marvel that is Akida be born and then where exactly does it fit into these waves of development? We still have our Early Adopters - Valeo, Mercedes and Renesas and of course NASA and the US military as well as VVDN and the Edge Box so hopefully 2024 will see our first break. I hope so. AIMO.

Surely if that was us we would have heard about them (like we’ve heard about the eco bins). There would have been some news from the company as an NDA or licence fee wouldn’t apply.

DeepMind GNoME Discovered 2 Million New Materials

DeepMind GNoME is a graph neural network uncovering 2.2 million new materials, reshaping possibilities for computer technology, batteries, and solar energy.

neurohive.io

DeepMind has developed the graph neural network GNoME, predicting material stability. GNoME has identified 2.2 million new materials, with 380 thousand deemed stable for application in developing computer chips, batteries, and solar panels.

Before the advent of GNoME (Graph Networks for Materials Exploration), only 48 thousand stable inorganic crystals were known. The model increased this number by almost 9 times. DeepMind claims the model’s output is equivalent to 800 years of researchers’ work.


This is the kind of thing, that concerns me..
The absolutely incredible rate of development, now becoming possible, through "unintelligent" A.I.

Technologies will be made obsolete, almost the second they are created (known), in the very near future.

Although in this fictional reality, they claim Skynet, learning at a geometric rate, took 25 days to become self aware??

I call Bullshit on that one..

$1 doubling in value for 25 days becomes $33,554,432.
And that's just one iteration in every 24 hours.
Now, imagine what a self directed and appropriately resourced intelligence motivated by a fear of mortality and lacking any notion of the value of anything beyond itself could achieve at computer speeds in just one day.
This is potentially all the previous revolutions on steroids.
We BrainChip supporters may be lucky to end up as pets.

All good my friend.
My assumption was that it doubled on the first day so one more episode of magic included in my calc.
But sheet, I'd settle for either at this stage of the day.

When I came back to direct investing this time around I was in the Martin jetpack.
Didn't lose my shirt on that one as a few did, but boy, that's what I thought I'd be tooling around in by now.
