Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 369 T300 Robots and New Students
The live stream had been going on for a while, and now that it was evening, news of Aurora Group making a big splash had spread, and more people were flocking to the live stream.
Many sci-fi fans also started to popularize the concept of wet components, and some people began to feel panicked, even cursing the aurora borealis.
Chen Yiran was very happy. All the people who cursed him were now being labeled and would be closely monitored by Vicky. If they did anything wrong, they might be inexplicably hit and killed by an out-of-control truck, crushed by falling parts from an airplane, or die from an allergic reaction to medication given by a hospital staff member.
A dozen minutes later, the stage became increasingly chaotic. The people wearing helmets closed their eyes and refused to come down, completely immersed in the virtual world and unwilling to leave.
This experience was so wonderful that, in order to prevent people from confusing the real and virtual worlds, Chen Yiran placed the logo of Aurora Group in the virtual perception.
But this feeling of knowing it's a virtual world, yet being able to truly and fully experience it, is so cool.
Upon entering the oasis, one is greeted by an endless expanse of white. It is a boundless white house with a basketball-sized ball of light overhead, the purpose of which is unknown.
There are some doors around, but only a few can be opened at the moment. One of them is the Zelda hat that Chen Yiran just mentioned.
Upon opening the door and stepping inside, it's as if you've entered a cartoon world. The surrounding scenery is also cartoonish, and even your reflection in the mirror is a cartoon.
But the sensory feedback is so real—touch, sight, smell, and even pain.
Getting hit in the maze really hurts, though it's very slight, but that feeling is even more exciting.
This means that no matter how dangerous or exciting a game is, it can now be played safely, without even needing a safety word.
Chen Yiran waited for fifteen minutes, during which no one spoke. Online, people watched as a group of people, usually big shots, began to scramble for a few helmets on stage.
If it were a regular press conference, the audience would already be criticizing it. But right now, everyone is curious about just how attractive Oasis is and when everyone will be able to use it.
Chen Yiran glanced at the comments, ended the demonstration, went up on stage, waved, and all ten Roaming devices simultaneously stopped working. After getting everyone off the stage, he began to promote his product.
"What is wet component? I know many sci-fi fans will explain it to everyone. Even if you don't know, just take out your phone and ask our Aurora AI, and it will tell you."
Let me explain my current predicament: I'm just too amazing; my research and development speed far exceeds the cumbersome bureaucratic approval process.
I know everyone is eager to buy a Wanderer and experience the virtual world like the person who just came on stage. I know various universities are hoping to try out Oasis, and some are even seriously considering incorporating it into their curriculum.
Unfortunately, our product is currently only legal in Hawaii. All our experiments were conducted in Hawaii and comply with Hawaiian law; the state government has granted us an Emerging Technology Experience License.
If we were to sell to other parts of the United States, we would likely not comply with the FDA's interpretation of medical devices in interstate trade under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
For other countries in the world, it's even more complicated. The EU will probably face the most difficulties, as they will most likely argue that neural data is a basic human right.
Other countries may also prohibit the sale for various reasons.
What I want to say to all countries and organizations is this: if you have enough vision, don't stop me. Let's move towards the future together.
Because I have already taken this step, the times will not stop because of your doubts.
Next, I will be introducing what I consider to be truly more lifelike AI agents. With the help of wet components, they have even exhibited some characteristics of natural evolution. They are more powerful and capable of doing more work.
In fact, they are closer to us. In a sense, wet components and silicon-based chips play equally important roles in their operation, so in my eyes, they should be considered bio-robots.
Next up is our T300 robot.
As soon as he finished speaking, a humanoid robot about 1.5 meters tall wobbled onto the stage.
His gait was very strange, as if he would fall with every step, but he still managed to stand steadily on the stage in the end.
After taking the stage, before Chen Yiran could speak, he explained, "It's not that I'm too stupid. It's mainly because of the current technology. I've tested the materials and structure on my body many times, and this is indeed the most stable way to walk."
"Come on, introduce yourself."
"Hello everyone, I'm Claude. I'm on many people's iPhones. Now, my father has given us a chance to come out into the world. It's great to see you all."
Chen Yiran smiled and gestured for the media below to raise their hands to ask questions.
The first to get a question were ABC, after all, they are Disney's television network, which belongs to Apple, so they are practically Aurora's own people.
"Claude... sir? Now that you have that wet component, what functions or improvements have you seen?"
"With the wet kit, I'm smarter, and I can feel it; my creativity is stronger. But to say how I'm different from before, I really can't say. Mainly because Father hasn't given me any real tasks."
The last question came from CNN, which, for the same reason, is now also owned by Apple, making them practically part of the same company.
"Mr. Claude, now that you have a human form, can you do some real-world work?"
"Yes, I got my own body last month and started helping my father walk the dog. Actually, that's when I learned to walk properly. I was walking very carefully, but Pidan (my dog) would often pull me down."
The questioning lasted about twenty minutes. At first, it wasn't very obvious to everyone, but later the audience around the world gradually realized that this Claude was indeed somewhat different from the one they usually saw on their phones.
However, ordinary people are not as enthusiastic about this as wanderers, after all, the virtual world sounds cooler.
Moreover, aside from their ability to rebel, they couldn't think of any other use for the robots at the moment.
Only biologists and computer experts from various countries have gone mad, trying through all sorts of channels to apply to actually visit the robot in Hawaii.
Several human rights organizations have also begun to rally around the issue, demanding that Aurora be held accountable for its blatant use of human cells and tissues for dangerous AI research.
Chen Yiran finally went up on stage to deliver her final speech.
"Alright, that concludes today's press conference. Actually, we don't currently plan to sell the AI robot, and the Wanderers can only purchase it in Hawaii."
So, it's a bit of a failure. Hopefully, by the next press conference, our Wanderer will have been approved for release worldwide.
Chen Yiran made a move to go off the stage from the left side, at which moment, a very cool-looking electric wheelchair drove onto the stage from the right side.
In reality, no one in the audience left. Chen Yiran's press conference followed the same pattern as Jobs' back then; if there wasn't a "one more thing" at the end, no one would have come at all.
Moreover, Chen Yiran's "one more thing" is usually surprisingly powerful.
Steve Jobs' last surprises were just some small surprises, such as the release of the iPod Mini, the iPod Shuffle, and the 12-inch PowerBook, the smallest and lightest laptop.
Chen Yiran's previous record includes...
The first intelligent agent, AI Doubao, was announced, and it has now become a daily choice for most people.
They announced the Ultron Smart System, a smart home system now used by 9% of households across the United States.
The alliance between Apple and Samsung was announced, and now 9% of smartphones worldwide use chips and operating systems from this alliance.
The Claude, which evolved from the Doubao, has now become a standard office accessory for most people.
The announcement of the Watcher mechanical dog has now reshaped the entire oilfield and industrial markets.
The whole world was waiting for someone to speak, but they didn't expect that the wheelchair-bound person who came up was the real protagonist.
A voice came from the speaker on the wheelchair: "Hello everyone, I am Gerald Edelman. It's nice to meet you all in this way. Actually, I can also use the same humanoid form as Claude just now. But after thinking about it, I still want to be a wheelchair."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spider-like robot climbed up.
"Hi everyone, this is Paul Paterson. This old guy stole my idea! I originally wanted to use a wheelchair, and when I talked to him about it, he beat me to it and asked the project team to provide one! It's blatant academic plagiarism."
At this point, viewers around the world were unaware of the gravity of the situation, and the live broadcast room was filled with questions. Meanwhile, the media in the audience pulled out their phones, asking what the two names, Claude and Claude, represented.
Chen Yiran didn't keep them waiting long; the large screen began playing videos summarizing the experiments over the past three months.
After all, no amount of fabricated narratives can compare to the impact of a video.
In the half-hour video, viewers saw the project team's progress from start to finish, and how the two scholars who were brain dead were transformed into this new life form.
Chen Yiran did not design any Q&A session at the end, nor did he ask the two professors to share their feelings. He knew that the impact of today's event was already more than enough.
He made a declaration very seriously.
"This is today's surprise, our attempt to extend life."
I know that after today, many people will be very excited. They will be excited that human technology has truly taken a giant leap forward and that another industrial revolution has arrived.
But there will also be many people who will angrily accuse us of doing dangerous things, of touching God's forbidden zone, of causing the extinction of mankind, and so on.
Only an ignorant person would associate this technology with immortality, but the true significance of this technology is not to prolong the lives of dying scientists.
Instead, it gives them a new lease on life! Imagine, in an instant, your thinking, your intelligence, returns to its peak, and your computing power is even stronger now! You even have computing power that you never dared to dream of before!
The Mexican Day of the Dead embodies the idea that death is not the end.
I really like a statement by David Eagleman in his science fiction short story collection, "The List of Life," that humans die three times.
First death: Biological death. Heart stops beating, breathing ceases, and medicine declares its end.
The second death: social death. The funeral ends, the name fades from social circles, and the social role is replaced.
The third death: the ultimate death. When the last person in the world who remembers you also forgets you, you disappear completely, as if you had never existed.
Our current technology cannot prevent the first type, but we can prevent the latter two; we can give people a second life.
Aurora Group will continue to move forward firmly. With the help of these newcomers, our technological research and development is already progressing rapidly.
So, come and stop me if you dare!
Before the media in the audience could react, the Aurora Group members started applauding wildly.
