2021 BRN Discussion, page-14664

Has anyone read 'Higher Intelligence' by PVDM?

After all the discussion and news about him selling ~2% of his shares, I thought I would reflect upon my perception of his character, and how he comes across in the book.

The book describes how he has been interested in artificial intelligence and computers since the late 1960s. He recalls how computers were referred to as 'big brains' back then. To cut a long story short, all of his career has been working in computer science (teaching, developing anti-virus solutions, then turning his attention to congnitive machines in 2002), leading up to where we are now.

Put simply, Brainchip and Akida is his mission in life (also the company mantra). As we have seen with the departure of LDN, he could have easily let someone else take over in an acting capacity; but h it's clear to me that he takes a huge amount of responsibility for the company, and is probably why he took over the reigns.

I'm firmly of the belief that this company is everything to him, and consider that he will continue to everything in his powers to make it a success. Innovators such as Peter are not driven by money in my opinion. He strikes me as a humble, quiet achiever, who lets the technology do the talking rather than trying to take the limelight himself.

In relation to the various iterations of the Akida chip, I found the following Alan Turing quote interesting....

"Instead of trying to produce a programme to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child's? If this were then subjected to an appropriate course of education one would obtain the adult brain"

All my opinion.
