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

On September 6, the launch event for Aurora was officially held at the Hawaii Convention Center.

The venue wasn't particularly lively at the time, because Aurora hadn't invited many media outlets this time. Not to mention self-media influencers, Aurora hadn't even invited any professional tech media.

Instead, they invited some more well-known but more serious general media outlets.

Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Xinhua News Agency, as well as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Financial Times, CCTV, ABC, CNN, and many others.

Aurora even specifically told them that they needed to take this press conference seriously.

Therefore, everyone was well-prepared and eager to see what Aurora was really up to.

The online buzz was also exaggerated. Aurora Group's live stream started a countdown 24 hours in advance, with the title: "Countdown to a New World".

Half an hour before the press conference, everyone had already arrived. The media were shocked to find that Aurora Group had invited very few media outlets, but all the shareholders were present.

The top executives of Apple, Chase, and Bain Capital were all present, including Zhao Guodong from Shougang Group, and many Middle Eastern white-robed figures brought their families.

Several bold reporters approached to try and extract information, hoping to get some details in advance, but they received no answers. Jamie Dimon, CEO of Chase Bank, said with a hint of grievance that even they, as shareholders of Aurora, didn't actually know what Aurora was doing.

The reporters didn't believe it, but since that's what they said, they could only step aside, but they all listened intently to the conversation between the Aurora shareholders.

Jamie Damon said to Cook beside him, "What's going on? Can't you just tell us a little bit? I'm really panicking, there are all sorts of rumors online!"

Bain Capital's Connelly whispered, "What exactly did you guys do? You managed to get the T800 out? Something's not right here lately. I heard that Israel hired someone to try and persuade Mr. Chen, and then after Paul Singer from Elliott came over, he seemed to have gone crazy."

He's been making a lot of moves lately, almost spending money like crazy, and seems determined to win the next election. We just don't understand what he's up to.

"At first, there were some rumors in Israel about criticizing our Aurora drones, but now the blame is all being directed at others, as if they can't see us at all."

Cook frowned and said, "Why would I lie to you? I really don't know! There are also complaints from people at Apple. Some shareholders feel that Chen Yiran is putting too much energy into Aurora Group, which is not good for Apple."

Some people have already suggested fully integrating Apple into Aurora, and Ellison has been the most vocal about it lately. He even convinced Bob Iger to support him, so he definitely knows something.

Everyone turned their attention to Ellison, and in an instant, everyone moved closer to him.

It seemed that only Zhao Guodong didn't care much about these topics. Actually, he wasn't very good at English and was wearing headphones the whole time, listening to AI Claude on his phone providing real-time translation.

Ellison sat calmly on the sofa, ignoring everyone. But even though he didn't speak, no one seemed inclined to look away; they just stared at him intently.

After a brief standoff, Ellison raised his hand and tapped his temple.

A collective gasp filled the air. Cook exclaimed excitedly, "So it really is a brain-computer interface! That's the most speculated option online. He even brought a lot of neuroscientists to Lanai Island. How mature is the technology now? Can it be used directly in the consumer market, or for medical applications?"

Could Apple's operating system be used in brain-computer interfaces in the future? Imagine wearing a hat and being able to call anyone you want? And what about even more extravagant virtual spaces—could they truly become a reality? Could a cyberpunk world like that of neuromaniacs finally be a reality?

Ellison knew that everyone had misunderstood, but he didn't refute it. Anyway, it had already been done, so it wasn't wrong.

He said ominously, "Making games is great. The first game should be The Matrix! Let players escape from the virtual world in the game. When they open their eyes after completing the game, they might not be able to distinguish between illusion and reality. That would be so interesting."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, but the feeling quickly passed. No matter how terrifying it was, it was impossible not to do it; it was just too tempting.

Jamie Damon and Connery were the most excited, constantly whispering, "We're going to be rich! We're going to strike it rich! We're going to make a fortune!"

Before they knew it, the time for the press conference had finally arrived. The curtain on the stage suddenly opened, and the people present, including those watching from around the world, saw Chen Yiran sitting on a sofa with ten tables around her, each with a square box on it.

Chen Yiran didn't speak directly, but instead looked at the comments and bullet screen messages in the live stream.

The conclusion is that it's completely impossible to see anything. There are simply too many viewers for them all to be on a single playback interface; rather, the same playback source has been split into countless separate playback ports.

Even so, a single streaming platform has hundreds of thousands of viewers, and casually posting comments already creates the ultimate scrolling effect.

After swiping the screen a few times and glancing at it, I noticed that most people were talking about brain-computer interfaces. It was clear that most people thought this breakthrough was about brain-computer interfaces, and everyone was speculating about how advanced the technology was, whether it would allow users to directly control computers via brain-computer interfaces, and so on.

Chen Yiran raised his head and said, "The original release order wasn't like this, but I've seen that many people are asking if our technology can allow disabled people to control computers."

Okay, since everyone has guessed it's a brain-computer interface, I'll answer this question first. Undoubtedly, it can operate a computer, but just operating a computer is too boring.

"Kabir, come up here, let everyone see your new wheelchair."

Below the stage, ten-year-old Kabir looked nervously at his father beside him. Amit was very excited. He patted Kabir on the head and said, "Go ahead, just think of it as showing everyone your new toy."

Kabir nodded, took a few big steps from backstage and jumped onto the stage. Once on stage, he stood obediently next to Uncle Chen, whom he liked very much.

Chen Yiran introduced to everyone: "Kabir is the child of Amit, our Aurora Group's veteran employee No. 005. He has suffered from adolescent idiopathic arthritis since childhood, which is a very serious disease that makes it very inconvenient for him to move around."

As you can see, our recent technological breakthroughs have enabled him to move around very easily with the help of an exoskeleton.

In fact, Amit recently complained to me that he used to be afraid that Kabir wouldn't like to go out, so he tried every day to find ways to take him out.

Now things are really messed up; he goes out to play every day, running so fast you can't catch him.

Kabir took a slightly embarrassed step back. When Chen Yiran handed him the microphone, he explained, "It's not that I want to go out and play. We have a basketball team, and I'm the tallest now. If I don't go to the game, we won't be able to win."

The world's audience sighed for Kabir's opponent. Kabir looked thin and small, but the exoskeleton under his feet made him much taller and gave him an extremely stable lower body.

Chen Yiran led Kabir around the stage, running and jumping around to show off his skills.

After Kabir went down, Chen Yiran shrugged and said, "Aren't you surprised? Our results are even more amazing than we imagined. But what I'm about to tell you is even more amazing."

At today's press conference, we're announcing a few things. The first is that we've officially taken that step! By using wet computing devices, along with a special translator, and connecting to the brain, we can enable human consciousness to be completely immersed in the virtual world!

Moreover, this isn't some technology that will only come to you in the future. I can say with certainty that within six months to a year, Aurora Group will consider large-scale sales of our brain-computer interface device, which we call the Wanderer.

We are building a virtual world that we call Oasis, and I can certainly say that it will play a very positive role in many ways.

Studying cell biology means focusing on the mitochondria generating electricity within the cell. Studying history means standing atop the walls of Carthage in 216 AD. Not to mention, medical education offers an infinitely low cost of trial and error.

In the medical field, aside from patients like Kabir, new treatment options will emerge for paralyzed individuals, phantom limb pain, and even some forms of psychotherapy.

Architects can now truly bring all their ideas to life in their minds, allowing people to directly experience the real-world feel of the building they designed!

Imagine what this scene would be like. Of course, for me, I still hope to be able to play the game in it, so imagine what an epic experience it would be if you could actually take a sword and go to save Princess Zelda.

Enough said. Here are ten wanderers; anyone here is welcome to come up and experience it. We apologize to viewers of the live stream; due to technical limitations, we haven't set up an external playback system. Therefore, you'll only see ten stunning faces.

Of course, don't worry. As I said, the Wanderers will be available to you soon. Of course, this may require some procedures in each country, since I'm still unsure what kind of product the Wanderers will be classified as.

Alright, who wants to try it out? Just between you and me, even though I didn't buy the license, I secretly included one of my favorite games: Zelda: The Beast Hat from the GBA game.

Perhaps because there were fewer people present this time, everyone was less reserved. As soon as Chen Yiran finished speaking, everyone rushed onto the stage and began scrambling to try out the game.

Only Cook and Ellison remained seated in the audience.

Cook walked over to Ellison and asked softly, "Wet parts? Do you mean what I think?"

Ellison nodded: "Calm down. Look at these people, they're so naive. Not many of them even know what 'wet parts' means."

Cook glanced down at his phone and said uneasily, "This just doesn't feel right. We took too big a step."

"Heh, you need to improve your tolerance; this is nothing!"
