Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

The pat on the shoulder at the end of the press conference is a famous moment in the gaming industry.

At the 2008 E3 Microsoft press conference, just as the conference was about to end, Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix (SE), suddenly appeared, patted Don Mattrick, vice president of Microsoft Entertainment, on the shoulder, and announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be coming to the Xbox 360 platform.

This action shocked everyone present, and from then on, the pat on the shoulder became a synonym for cross-platform gaming or cheating, and many similar memorable scenes followed.

This appearance was also designed by Chen Yiran.

The effect was astonishing; the entire audience went wild immediately.

The person who came up was Lee Jae-yong, the president of Samsung Electronics, the de facto operator of the Samsung Group, and the heir apparent of Samsung.

At the same moment, Samsung's leader Lee Jae-yong, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Chen Yiran of the tech giant Aurora Group stood side by side on the stage.

What's even more outrageous is that this is Apple's product launch event!

Samsung and Apple have been engaged in patent lawsuits in more than a dozen countries around the world in the past two years, with legal fees alone exceeding one billion US dollars.

Last year, Samsung's Galaxy Tab was banned in Germany, and Apple also suffered a setback in Australia. The legal departments of both companies were eager to sue each other into bankruptcy.

The fact that Lee Jae-yong is standing on Apple's stage is itself the biggest news.

After Lee Jae-yong came up, he didn't try to steal the spotlight. He stood obediently to Chen Yiran's right, echoing Cook standing to the left.

Chen Yiran held up one finger and said with a smile, "Sorry everyone, I almost forgot, we still have One More Thing!"

One more thing.

This dramatic plot twist actually originated from the famous American fictional television detective series "Columbo" in the 1970s. When interrogating suspects, Columbo would always walk out, and just before leaving, he would suddenly turn around and say, "There's just one more thing," and then pull out the fatal evidence.

In 1998, Steve Jobs brought this anecdote to an Apple product launch event. At the time, Apple's future was uncertain, and Jobs pretended to leave at the end of his speech, then suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, one more thing, we still made money."

From then on, this sentence became a super Easter egg in Apple's product launches.

In 1999, Steve Jobs began using this Easter egg to launch products, including a Wi-Fi router, the first iPhone in 2007, and the MacBook Air, the world's thinnest laptop at the time, pulled out of a brown paper bag in 2008.

Six months after Steve Jobs' death, Chen Yiran brought this Easter egg back to the press conference.

Chen Yiran gestured, and Lee Jae-yong then began to speak in accented English: "Some people say that Samsung and Apple are enemies. But in my opinion, Samsung and Apple have a common opponent. This opponent is not a particular company, but a trend."

Over the past few years, a trend has become increasingly clear: the freedom of Android platform hardware manufacturers is being continuously squeezed.

The phones we make, with their carefully designed chips, optimized screens, and billions of dollars spent on hardware development, are ultimately being held hostage by others through their ecosystem?

The operating system market is dominated by one company, the search engine market by one company, and the app store market by one company. Hardware manufacturers are engaged in fierce competition, resulting in ever-thinning profit margins.

Last year, when we negotiated with Google for this year's suite of software licenses, they stipulated one condition: Samsung must not pre-install or proactively display any non-Google-owned voice interaction features. Users need to go through three layers of pop-up confirmation before switching the default voice engine.

What does this mean? It means our users no longer have the right to choose which AI assistant to use. Samsung doesn't want to treat our users this way, so we don't intend to continue like this.

At this moment, Samsung's new logo, One UI, appeared on the big screen.

"Today I am here to announce that Samsung will officially launch its self-developed operating system, One UI. One UI is based on the open-source Android platform, and all system development, security patches, and feature iterations are completed independently by Samsung's own team, without relying on any third-party system frameworks."

I know what you're thinking. Samsung tried Tizen before, but it didn't work. But this time it's different. This time we have the technical support of Aurora Group. The underlying layer of One UI uses Aurora Group's FlowEDA toolchain for chip-level optimization, and the system embeds Doubao as the core of AI interaction.

At the same time, thanks to Apple for providing full support for Duck Search, Duck Videos, Duck Maps, and Duck Mail, all of which will be simultaneously launched on the One UI platform.

Starting today, Samsung users can enjoy the same software experience as Apple users. Features like the Duck Family Bucket, Doubao AI Assistant, and the Aocheng Smart Home System are all available on Samsung devices.

After Lee Jae-yong finished speaking, he turned to Chen Yiran.

"Chen, would you like to say a few words?"

Chen Yiran took the microphone and said with a determined look in his eyes, "I've talked to Jae Yong many times. We have a consensus that competition in the technology industry should not be about platforms exploiting hardware."

He then handed the microphone to Cook, who said with a look of agreement, "Apple, Samsung, and Aurora each have their strengths. Apple has the best hardware design and user experience, Samsung has the most complete supply chain and screen technology, and Aurora has core capabilities in AI, chip design, and operating systems."

I acknowledge that we have a conflict of interest in the mobile phone business, but we compete using legitimate means. Unlike some companies that use their ecosystem advantages to squeeze out other companies while hypocritically claiming they never do evil.

Chen Yiran concluded by saying, "Aurora, Apple, and Samsung will deepen their cooperation to jointly safeguard industry fairness and their own rights."

The reporters below the stage began frantically taking pictures of the three spirited men on stage, and the Wall Street Journal had already come up with today's headline: Anti-Google Alliance.

In just twenty minutes, three people portrayed Google as a bully in the tech industry. Apple, Samsung, and Aurora were seen as victims forced to join forces in resistance.

The narrative is so exquisite it gives you goosebumps.

At the same time, in Mountain View, California, at Google headquarters.

Google executives were watching Apple's product launch together, but YouTube didn't have the live streaming rights, so they had to log in to Apple's Duck Video to watch it, which made several executives feel somewhat humiliated.

While the Ultron system they had encountered was impressive, they weren't particularly surprised. They had guessed that Chen Yiran would cause trouble today. Although these things were powerful, they didn't believe they would shake their foundation.

But Lee Jae-yong's appearance at the last moment made them break down.

The three people on stage never mentioned Google in a single sentence, but every single sentence they uttered was a criticism of Google.

Larry Page was furious: "This is outrageous! Which of those three companies is weaker than us?! Now they're calling us high-tech bullies!"

Google's Chief Business Officer, Nicosh Arora, said helplessly, "Their narrative was too perfect, and our previous actions did give them leverage."

Those tech people and the news media aren't stupid, but they'd absolutely love to see us fail; watching a spectacle is human nature. We need to come up with a plan quickly.
