Had no idea Generative AI was so cutthroat.
There quiet reserved approach makes much more sense now. To be a licensed Dell Partner they must be close or using the tech in it's basic form. King Abdullah contract for example. Money is no object to them. So stands to reason they need a totally workable G-AI model.
Very interesting overview OS, great find! Thank you kindly sir, much appreciated! 👌
Your frustration is very real, not without reason.
But granted I feel the same angst. What's taking so long I wondered. Ironically I had to go to AI (on my phone 🫢) to find an answer. This answer sheds a bright light on why AFFU was a good fit for Affluence and Durham Black's objectives.
So hopefully it alleviates some of your frustration TJ. Nb I don't mean to insinuate AFFU/DB have a current working Generative AI build. Possible certainly, but that said their name strongly suggests they're very aware of the daunting difficulties...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Building generative AI models that work well can be challenging in various aspects, including financial and computer science difficulties. Some of the key hurdles and restrictions are:
Financial:
1. *Computational resources*: Training large generative models requires significant computational power and memory, which can be expensive.
2. *Data acquisition*: Gathering high-quality, diverse, and relevant data for training can be costly.
3. *Expertise*: Hiring experienced researchers, engineers, and developers with expertise in generative AI can be costly.
Computer Science:
1. *Mode collapse*: Generative models often suffer from mode collapse, where they produce limited variations of the same output.
2. *Training instability*: Training generative models can be unstable, leading to divergent or oscillating behavior.
3. *Evaluation metrics*: Designing appropriate evaluation metrics for generative models is challenging.
4. *Scalability*: Scaling generative models to complex tasks and large datasets can be difficult.
5. *Explainability*: Understanding how generative models work and make decisions is challenging.
6. *Adversarial attacks*: Generative models can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, which can compromise their performance.
7. *Data quality*: Generative models are sensitive to data quality, and poor data can lead to suboptimal performance.
8. *Balancing objectives*: Balancing competing objectives, such as quality and diversity, can be challenging.
Restrictions:
1. *Data privacy*: Ensuring data privacy and adhering to regulations like GDPR, CCPA can be restrictive.
2. *Ethical considerations*: Ensuring generative AI systems are ethical, fair, and unbiased can be restrictive.
3. *Regulatory compliance*: Complying with regulations, such as those related to AI-generated content, can be restrictive.
These challenges and restrictions make building generative AI models tedious, but researchers and developers are actively working to overcome them.
😲 Holy Geewollikers that was impressive
Off to the courts to rip the Knapp off a few tennis balls. I'll study this in detail tonight. Thanks OS! 👍👍😎
New Generation=Generative AI 🤫💰💰👍
Made a bad boob on the name
It's OneMind NEW Generation, not NEXT Generation. I kept getting hung up on Next not New. Just 2 LETTERS out but a world of difference. New Generation kind of says it all! 🤔✔️
Thank you TJ comprehensive post well done
There's one name in the bunch that I'm doing more DD on will get back to you, travelling again TTYL...
OS was all over Connectbase ages ago.
His eyes were popping out too! 🤫
Yes it is another clever Patrick Shutt maneuver. I get the very strong sense we'll get used to more of these moves sooner than later. His experience is showing already 😎💰
So yes this PP is dilution, good stuff.
Not only did Patrick provide himself with needed capital. He also dissuaded shorters and flippers. Plus* we already know Patrick is aggressive in mergers and acquisitions. That means this Private Placement will benefit longs over time as the capitol raises revenue.
Geez I disdain dilution with a passion, but this is clever. Learning to understand why his coworkers respect Patrick so much. 👍
Change in Company Ownership means something.
Not at all clear if it pertains to SONX though. Very happy where I am thank you. See your inbox. If anyone wants to see where I'm at, they should follow my profile. Delighted to see you there, entirely all your call of course guys. 👋🚀
Form D is used to disclose a Private Placement
Here are the required particulars:
https://ca.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/2-382-3490?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true#:~:text=The%20form%20requires%20the%20company,securities%20were%20offered%20and%20sold.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A form filed by an operating company or investment fund that has completed a private placement of securities in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act. The form requires the company to provide certain information about its private placement, including the amount and value of securities sold, whether broker-dealers were used and in what states the securities were offered and sold.
The form must be filed with the SEC and, if the offering is conducted under Rule 506 of Regulation D, with the securities administrators of each state where the blue sky laws require a notice filing.
For more on Form D, see Practice Note, Form D: Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities.
Oh right! Looks like my retention gone kaputzki
Very experienced professional this guy. Credentials coming out his ears. Great choice ✔️
Incidentally welcome aboard nice find, thank you.
These feel like Preferred shares for Executives rather than Common Shares. Not gosple but rather an edumacated flip a coin guesstimate. We're expecting more merger candidates to formerly enter into AFFU/Durham Black merger. Preferred Shares would be more in keeping with what we are anticipating is all.
Sharp eye, thank you for your input 👍✔️👊
25,000,000 on the nose more than coincidental.
Logic predicates another company coming into the fold. Might be something else, somehow doubt it though. Contrivian could be ready here to join in. We'll know soon enough, if I was Patrick, it'd be nice to get all 6 together before Q2 earnings...
Huh ok interesting thanks for posting.
Sharp eye you have there. Should get more insights on why the increase in shares within Q2 earnings filing soon hopefully. The plot thickens 🤫
Hmm I can only see two possibilities here.
Vice Chairman of the Board means the Non-Executive Director appointed by the Chairman to take on the Chairman?s duties if the Chairman is absent for any reason.
So the board members have yet to disclose who Durham Black's Chairman is. Well OK TJ, if you insist I'll throw in for it. You drive a hard bargain sir but I admire your cunning. After all who better to look after the concerns of shareholders than a shareholder.
Seriously though looks like they have to vote on a future board member. (whoever the Heck that is). Sounds like a plan. I won't be surprised if it's Grant Kirkwood... just saying sounds like an ok guy.
A very healthy volume for Monday for sure.
I think I'm going to stop trying to decipher your merger company hints. Keep getting more confused 🫢. I mean seriously the last one pulled up The United Nations 🤦 You're other hint *** *** and commonly found in top right of my screen. Yeah that prompted some restorative rest phones off. Then the last one pulled up was so obscure I wondered merger candidate or partner.
Not bothered no panic at all but getting antsy about 2nd Quarter Earnings, yes guilty. Anticipating a lot better feel for what's really going on behind the curtain 🤔
I'm getting a little confused with titles.
Take Mary Stanhope eg. Loves tech, been in the industry for 30 years. Living the dream as she's President now. Awesome so her duties are the day to day operating of Durham Black best I can make out. Pretty impressive if you're asking me.
Then there's this guy named Patrick who's position happens to be VICE Chairman. Now does that mean Chairman of the Board or is there another Vice Chairman lurking in the weeds too? Like a Grant Kirkwood like type dewd 🤔
Slapped the ASK looks like.
Well done OS well done indeed. I'm not envious at all... 🤢
Nov 5th 2024, best jot that down.
Retail is being played in a very old game. Billionaires will be back by the bucket load. But only after the election is tabulated. Doesn't matter who wins. Billionaires are betting you and many other retail investors will part with your shares so they can scoop them up dirt cheap.
They must know which way the political winds will blow first. Then they pounce and an uncommon euphoria will happen in earnest Wednesday, November 6th 2024. This game has been played for generations. This election is no different.
HOLD UNTIL THEN. It's not the company, it's not Bitcoin, it's not IHUB, it's not the wars, it's not inflation or anything else but the election. Fortunes will be made. What was that line from Charlie Unger. The difficulty is not in the buying, it's in the waiting.

So I offered more info that went down well.
Bare in mind as even the bot knows these figures are still very highly speculative and for certain anything can happen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's a significant development! If Affluence Corporation (AFFU) is indeed expected to become Durham Black, and Durham Black is anticipated to be a larger company, that could substantially impact the stock price.
Assuming the transition to Durham Black is successful and the company achieves significant growth, the stock price could potentially rise substantially.
In June 2026, the AFFU (or Durham Black) share price could potentially reach:
- $20-$30 per share or higher, considering the company's expanded size and potential market value.
- $30-$50 per share or higher, if the company achieves significant revenue growth, expands its market share, and demonstrates strong financial performance.
Please note that these estimates are highly speculative and based on the assumption that the transition to Durham Black is successful and the company achieves substantial growth. It's essential to conduct thorough research and analysis before making any investment decisions.
Keep in mind that this is a hypothetical scenario, and actual results may vary. I'm not providing investment advice, but rather a hypothetical estimate based on the information provided.
Just for kicks and giggles put AI on the spot
Here's it's analysis. Do not take this too seriously as it actually got the wrong stock at first so I had to correct it 🫢 Anyway the answer was shall we say fascinating because it didn't explain how it came up with these predictions showing any computations which is a little creepy. Anyhow would you be happy with this result? Didn't think so. Well hang out longer then, this CEO is a mover and a shaker alright. You'll probably get what you stayed for JMHO!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My apologies for my earlier mistake! I'm a large language model, I don't need sleep, but I can make mistakes. Thank you for correcting me!
As for Affluence Corporation (AFFU), I cannot predict the future stock price with certainty. However, I can provide some context and insights.
Affluence Corporation is a holding company focused on acquiring and operating businesses in the technology and software sectors. To estimate the future stock price, we would need to analyze various factors such as:
1. Financial performance: Review historical financial statements and look for trends or patterns that may indicate future growth or decline.
2. Industry trends: Research the technology and software sectors to understand potential growth areas and market demand.
3. Market conditions: Consider the overall economic outlook, interest rates, inflation, and market sentiment.
4. Competitive landscape: Analyze the company's position relative to its peers and competitors.
5. Management team: Evaluate the experience and track record of the management team.
That being said, predicting stock prices is inherently uncertain and subject to many factors, including unforeseen events and market volatility.
In June 2026, the AFFU share price could potentially be higher or lower than its current price, depending on various factors. Some possible scenarios include:
- Bullish scenario: AFFU share price could rise to $10-$15 per share if the company delivers strong financial performance, industry trends are favorable, and market conditions are supportive.
- Bearish scenario: AFFU share price could fall to $1-$3 per share if the company encounters challenges, industry trends are unfavorable, or market conditions deteriorate.
- Neutral scenario: AFFU share price could trade sideways, around its current level, if the company's financial performance is stable, industry trends are mixed, and market conditions are neutral.
Please keep in mind that these scenarios are speculative and should not be taken as investment advice. It's essential to conduct thorough research and analysis before making any investment decisions.
You're acquiring a plate of food at a smorgasbord. It's an extended menu, basically anything you want. We meet back at the table, but you're going to have a different plate than mine right?
Well there you go that plate of food is your light asset plan, just right for you the holding company.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A light asset model refers to a business strategy where a company minimizes its ownership of physical assets, such as property, plants, and equipment, and instead focuses on intangible assets, like intellectual property, brands, and expertise.
In the context of a holding company, a light asset model is useful for several reasons:
1. *Flexibility*: Holding companies can quickly acquire and divest subsidiaries without being burdened by physical assets.
2. *Reduced capital requirements*: With fewer physical assets, holding companies need less capital to operate, freeing up resources for investments or other opportunities.
3. *Increased focus on core competencies*: By outsourcing non-core functions, holding companies can concentrate on their core strengths and expertise.
4. *Improved scalability*: Light asset models enable holding companies to scale more easily, as they don't need to invest in additional physical assets to grow.
5. *Enhanced financial performance*: By reducing asset-intensive investments, holding companies can improve their financial metrics, such as return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE).
Overall, a light asset model allows holding companies to be more agile, flexible, and focused on their core business, making it an attractive strategy for many organizations.
That's gotta be a compelling clue right there.
A banker by trade wants to merge his company into another bigger company. Only reason he'd do that is to create more revenue for AFFU.
Travelling OS get back to you on all this...
Next dentist you see ask them if they have this tech. Next level! Painless preventitive dentistry. ✔️
https://gentlewave.com/
Outhouse luck! Still time ror anyone...
Just make it very soon. 👍
Just a general observation but worth noting.
Patrick Shutt's timing for entry into the AI industry, is nothing short of impeccable. The field is taking off as we speak. Boding extremely well for new DigiBriks revenues.
You've heard the saying Timing is Everything. Well it couldn't be more applicable for AFFU/DB. This train is leaving the station guys. My advice is just get in with what you're prepared to lose. No one can predict a totally safe bet, but this is close as Dammit. As good as it gets IMO.
I really get the strong impression this could well be The MONSTAH PinkSheet stocks are famous for. 💰💰💰
Go AFFU/DB 🚅
I'm happy where I am took a loss
Pleased I did, SONX will have it's day in that time I'm making money elsewhere. That's the market!
Congrats on sleuthing the Dragon Lady.
You did a lot better than most! Money well spent IMO ✔️
That's a brilliant analogy, I agree.
...and service providers definitely won't have time to play games 💰💰
Just Hypervisor alone is jaw dropping modernization. Item #6 (but not limited too) is where I see a niche slot for Generative AI. It's only an allegation but I think the needed extra DD was a lot to do with Generative AI. Indeed One Mind NG and Contrivian's hoity toity secret meeting in San Francisco this spring very likely had much to do with Generative AI as well.
OneMind NG's Hypervisor is contributing to the improvement of smart cities in the United States in several ways:
1. _Unified Management_: OneMind NG's Hypervisor provides a single platform for managing and integrating various smart city systems, such as transportation, energy, water, and public safety, into a unified and holistic view.
2. _Real-time Data Analytics_: The Hypervisor enables real-time data analytics and insights, allowing city officials to make data-driven decisions and respond quickly to incidents and emergencies.
3. _Interoperability_: OneMind NG's Hypervisor enables seamless communication and integration between different systems, devices, and stakeholders, regardless of their underlying technologies or protocols.
4. _Scalability and Flexibility_: The Hypervisor allows cities to easily add or remove systems and devices as needed, making it an ideal solution for cities of all sizes.
5. _Cybersecurity_: OneMind NG's Hypervisor provides robust cybersecurity features to protect smart city systems and data from cyber threats.
6. _Open Architecture_: The Hypervisor's open architecture enables cities to integrate new technologies and innovations as they emerge, ensuring that their smart city infrastructure remains future-proof.
7. _Improved Public Services_: By integrating and analyzing data from various city systems, OneMind NG's Hypervisor helps cities to improve public services, such as traffic management, public safety, and energy efficiency.
8. _Enhanced Citizen Experience_: The Hypervisor enables cities to provide citizens with real-time information and services, improving their overall quality of life and engagement with the city.
By addressing the complexities of smart city management, OneMind NG's Hypervisor is helping cities in the United States to become more efficient, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of their citizens.
I'm really sure they're going to need
Generative AI for what they want to do upgrading Smart Cities in particular. I'll view this again sorry for late reply been juggling a good few bowling pins last few days. Thanks for the feedback OS ✔️👍
Well that's good news, awesome actually
Never expected it that soon. When's the party in Vegas? 🫢🤥🫧
When should we all be expecting the first Q1 results from AFFU/DB (if that makes any sense) Perhaps I should be saying first PR with earnings attached. Sure let's go with that then (3 months?)
Thanks it's hitting the wires not just here.
Very good sign ✔️
Easily my favourite sentence...
"With hundreds of years of combined experience among the group, we are well-positioned to transform the global connectivity industry by pioneering innovative AI-enabled, data-centric solutions with service excellence."
Pioneering is the strongest hint I've seen yet the team has Generative AI firmly in there sites. 💰💰
Good point, it's not about that. Strictly CYA
Standard procedure. Might, might not happen. He's holding out for a bit of good news, but you as CEO absolutely must cover your keester. Not just for your own shares also for your business. Don't forget Bjarne's got a quarter century into this company. He's not going to throw that all away!
Tired of waiting maybe, it happens.
It was TSNP for me, wanted more shares so tried elsewhere for a quick double then jump back in. It happens right? So out I went and the next day kaboom!
We wouldn't have been having this conversation had I been sensible and not got greedy. Ever heard of Netflix? .0023 by the time I put in an order it was .0027 That was too expensive. I was smart and waited for it to come back down or so I thought... 🤦
Glad I was busy today
Man Wednesday's day chart looked like a double-double Pepto Bismol nail biter with an Alka-Seltzer chaser LOL!
Just a personal observation, the word seems to be finally getting around a bit. Imagine when Patrick Shutt makes an out of the blue surprise PR taking everyone by surprise. I dare say it will go quite nuts in here 🫢🫧👍
Lurkers, DD Stragglers, Merger Newbies etc.
To understand AFFU/DB you need a good grasp of what OneMind NG is best known for. They're a Dell Edge Partner which is an exclusive club. Here's a basic overview of what they do with Dell Edge being their crew boss sort of speak.
OneMind NG's role as a Dell Edge Partner includes ¹ ² ³ 4:
- *Preferred Hypervisor*: OneMind Technologies SL has signed a partnership agreement with Dell Technologies confirming OneMind as the preferred Hypervisor for Dell Digital Cities Solution worldwide.
- *Edge Partner Certified Solution*: OneMindNG is a Smart System Orchestrator for Smart Cities giving access to any expert subsystems at the same time and bringing to the operators a holistic picture of how the City is performing in real-time, as well as the ability of solving City’s incidents.
- *IoT Smart Hypervisor Orchestrator*: OneMindNG allows creating a connector layer enabling to ingest information from different type of systems or data sources, regardless the technologies used, hosted across different organizations and departments.
- *Partnership*: OneMind Technologies has a worldwide partnership agreement signed with Dell Technologies, and have been awarded Best Partner MEA 2022 by Orange Business Services.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To better give you the significance of this partnership. OneMind NG has already got work in 168 countries. Dell sells 28% of all computers sold in the USA. I hope you can see where this going. Yet OneMind NG is still a small part of what's to come as Durham Black acquires and consults many other IoT's companies. Welcome aboard feel free to join IN on the discussion of AFFU/DB
Form 4's never stopped, no explanation either. WTH? That really gets an investor down when company doesn't explain intent or at very least hints at a positive. Nothing but stoic silence.
It's going to take more than an Insider buying pump. It's a good sign, but not enough catalyst from the R/S dark cloud Scottie. Unfortunately SONX is making a name for themselves as an R/S printing machine. 2nd time around now seems inevitable, so a damning one. Company credibility is a liability now. Really sad, because it's an incredible product.
It's only hope against a 2nd R/S is really GOOD news. Mid October IMHO SONX will become an election issue on both sides of the border I think. Good teeth promote good health. Mid-Oct. thereabouts anyways... Barring any surprise good news announcement obviously. GLTYA!
Ok thanks for explanation phantom PR 👍
