Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 228 Google Press Conference
Cupertino in mid-April.
Chen Yiran had just finished her battle with Dada, took a shower, turned on her computer, and logged onto YouTube to watch Google's press conference.
Although I already know the general content, I'm just idling around anyway, so it's worth checking out the competitors.
It's already featured on the YouTube homepage; it's the official Google channel, and the live stream title is "Google Smart Launch Event."
The number of online users has exceeded 80,000 and is still increasing.
Larry Page emerged from the sidelines with a sly grin and said, "Good morning, thank you for watching Google's AI launch event. Today I'd like to talk to you about some of Google's progress in the field of artificial intelligence."
A lot has happened in the industry over the past year. Some companies have released amazing products, and some people say Google has fallen behind. I don't think so.
A technical architecture diagram was displayed on the large screen.
"Google's research team has done a lot of underlying refactoring of the deep learning framework over the past few months. Our Transformer architecture has already achieved groundbreaking results in multiple benchmark tests."
Several comparison charts popped up on the screen, bar charts of various colors, showing only percentage increases without absolute values.
"But technology is just the foundation. We are also making more business moves, and we have just completed two very important acquisitions."
The large screen was divided into two columns. The DeepMind logo was on the left, and the Boston Dynamics logo was on the right.
"The first acquisition was DeepMind. This is an artificial intelligence company based in London, and their team is among the world's leading researchers in reinforcement learning and general artificial intelligence. Google has completed its full acquisition of DeepMind."
The second company is Boston Dynamics. I don't need to elaborate on their robotics technology; their robots are among the most advanced legged robots in the world. Google is officially entering the robotics field.
He then walked to the table and picked up an HTC phone.
"Today, I would also like to show you our latest product development."
A close-up of a mobile phone interface appeared on the large screen, with a colorful circular icon in the center of the screen.
Google Assistant is an intelligent voice assistant built by Google using its self-developed deep learning framework. It runs on the Android system and is available to all Android users through system updates.
Larry Page pulled a cell phone out of his pocket.
"Hey Google, help me find an Italian restaurant near Mountain View."
A list of search results popped up on the screen, and a female voice announced: "There are three highly-rated Italian restaurants near Mountain View. The number one one is Osteria, on Via Castro."
"I don't want the first one, give me the address of the second one."
"The second one is Trattoria Contadina, the address is..."
"Never mind, just dial the third company's number for me."
The phone was dialed and answered after two rings.
The tech media in the audience all had a sense of déjà vu, as if they had traveled through time.
But some sycophants started clapping enthusiastically.
Larry Page then demonstrated several more features: sending text messages to colleagues, setting alarms, checking the weather, scheduling appointments, and then spouting a bunch of technical pronouncements.
Near the end, he said excitedly, "Finally, I would like to invite two old friends to the stage."
Two people walked out from the side of the screen.
One is HTC CEO Peter Chou, who is smiling, but his expression is a bit stiff. The other is the president of Sony Mobile, whose smile seems somewhat forced.
The two men stood on either side of Larry Page, shook hands, and smiled at the cameras below the stage.
"HTC and Sony are the most important partners in the Android ecosystem. Google Assistant will be deeply adapted to the devices of these two companies as soon as possible, and the three parties have signed a long-term cooperation agreement."
Chou Yung-ming took the microphone: "HTC has always believed in the open ecosystem of Android. The release of Google Assistant has shown us the enormous potential of Android in the field of AI."
Sony's president also said, "With Sony's strengths in hardware and content, combined with Google's AI technology, we are confident in providing users with the best experience."
The three of them stood together, their faces a little stiff, but they all pretended to be in high spirits.
Chen Yiran stared in disbelief at his computer. Although he already knew that Google would release Xiyao this time thanks to the background trojan, he did not expect the sense of déjà vu to be so strong.
"Jasmine, am I seeing things? This is a complete copy of us!"
【They're exactly the same! o(一︿一+)o He's just trying to piggyback on our success, implying that his performance is similar to ours.】
"That's fine, but what's this last one? Apple, Samsung, and the Aurora, standing together, what kind of situation is this? Google is one thing, but Sony and HTC are just sitting on the side of the road! Why do they have to correspond with us and take a group photo of the three giants? They're just fooling themselves."
[There's always a chance some fools will fall for it, especially die-hard Sony fans. Some of them are really brain-dead (* ̄︿ ̄). Even in 2025, there will still be big idiots insisting on selling Sony phones.]
Who are you choosing?
【o(*≧▽≦)ツ I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.】
However, their presentation was pointless. Many of the features they demonstrated looked impressive, but they used special, standalone servers. Their framework was terrible, and it even bypassed our patents.
Right now, it's purely about piling on computing power. This isn't 2026; we've essentially brought the war forward, and the costs will likely be much higher. Under the same conditions, if Google wanted to achieve the same results, it would have to spend at least five times the hardware costs alone, not even counting the human maintenance costs.
They absolutely cannot achieve this effect on every mobile phone at the consumer level.
"However, their financial offensive is still a bit annoying; now they're even starting to poach people from our side."
【(* ̄︿ ̄) It's so annoying! We should have followed my suggestion and given them some trouble beforehand. Just plant a small logic bug in the backend, and that stupid assistant would crash on the platform. They definitely wouldn't be able to figure out it was us. You're not evil enough; if you were, we would have taken him down long ago.】
"Wouldn't it be better to calm down? It would be even more embarrassing for Google if Android users happily upgraded only to find out they'd been tricked."
As Chen Yiran spoke, she took out her phone to prepare to tweet.
Regardless, he couldn't help but mock the pixelated tribute to this press conference.
After carefully searching for the image, Chen Yiran edited it and posted it on Twitter.
The image is a comparison photo he selected. The left side is a group photo of the last three people at Chen Yiran's last press conference, and the right side is a group photo of the three people at this Google press conference.
Chen Yiran thoughtfully wrote down the market value of the companies they represented and the current market situation on the chart.
Chen Yiran's team lineup.
Apple, the mobile leader, is starting to seize market share with its Duck family of products, bringing its market value to $8000 billion.
Samsung, the former leader of the Android platform and the king of the entire mobile phone industry chain, has seamlessly integrated its newly launched ONE UI, directly capturing 6% of Android's market share. Its current market value is $2500 billion.
Aurora Mobile, a supernova technology company, possesses the underlying framework of deep learning, DeepFlow, and the underlying code for general-purpose GPU computing. In its first round of funding, it was valued at $1000 billion.
In contrast, Google's lineup...
Google, a long-established technology company in decline, has seen its mobile market share plummet, relying solely on its desktop platform to survive. Its market value has now fallen to $1400 billion.
HTC, a once-great but now declining mobile phone assembler, is now a pure assembly plant failing across the entire mobile phone supply chain. It just announced a 70% year-on-year drop in net profit for the first quarter of 2012, and that numerous of its models will be banned from sale in the United States due to patent infringement. Its market capitalization is $20 billion.
Sony, a diversified company in decline, is not good at anything except game consoles. It has been in the red for years and it seems that the only way to survive is to sell assets. Its current market value is $130 billion.
The purpose of Google's press conference was to take advantage of Chen Yiran's technology; they were happy to have people compare Google's AI with Chen Yiran's AI.
However, the execution was rather clumsy, and under Chen Yiran's guidance, the press conference immediately became the target of ridicule across the internet, even triggering a massive online frenzy.
