No Camera set-ups...it was rather informal, but professional, if that makes sense.
A few questions from the floor by young engineers, maybe one or two shareholders, I'm not really sure.
I have just uploaded my 10 or so photo's, they are rather blurry, but I did notice even with my glasses on, the slides weren't that sharp off Peters laptop, in fact, I'm not even sure it was Peters, because he said something about dropping his !
I'll post them, but please don't have a go at me, I'm pissed that they aren't clear.
PresentationPeter appeared very relaxed, as was Adam...both men are very approachable, and have a very pleasant manner, I even noticed Peter blush a couple of times...my impression is that they are very genuine, friendly and truly committed 100% to bringing this 3rd generation of AI to the world stage..I know it's painfully slow, but when I mentioned this to Adam (Director) he made the point that, they are being extremely careful with the design process because as we all know, once it's set in silicon, that's it... there's no coming back.
"Socionext have a lot more to lose than us"...
"Simon Thorpe & Timothy M are still being consulted be the company"
Akida 2.0 was mentioned....with one slide that Peter talked about that was implying Akida 3 4 5 6 7......etc etc
over the next 15 years to reach AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
"Depending on how Akida is structured, it can contain 1.2 million neurons up to 5 million"
Closest competitor at the present time, didn't name any...we really are the lone wolf in this field, Intel and others are trying different things, but they are still using the same type of architecture, "these companies have invested 100's millions in Deep Learning, of course they don't want to change direction".
Akida, has all the neurons on the chip, the others, despite calling them Neural Networks, have a chip full of multipliers....that's one major difference (think I got that right)....there was a lot of information being shared.
A little more to come later in the day...bare with me
. Here's hoping nobody reads your post until I've finished accumulating under 5c. Have a lovely long weekend
