CNN Studios.

In response to recent hot events, CNN did an interview program.

Not only did Fanoan, a famous visiting professor of psychology at Harvard University, who bombarded Star Technology on social media some time ago, be invited, but CNN even invited a former colleague of Professor Miel, the core developer of the Phantom system.

When asked by the moderator about his opinion of the Phantom System, Professor Fanoan made no secret of his hostility and said in an affirmative tone.

"There is no doubt that this is a risky technology that has not been rigorously clinically tested or supervised, and yet it involves some of the most sensitive and fragile brains in our brains."

"Imagine if we were to present our brains not just horror movies, but something more terrifying than horror movies or horror games, or even directly manipulate or even tamper with our memories and thoughts through scientific means, what it means I can't describe in three words, but what is certain is that our future will be dark because of the advent of the Phantom System."

"I don't know what kind of coercion or temptation of profit those people were subjected to, but I don't think a normal person would agree to hand over their brains to a dangerous organization to study indiscriminately. This is not only irresponsible to oneself, but also irresponsible to society! ”

Hearing Professor Fanoan's speech, the moderator had a surprised expression on his face.

"Isn't that an exaggeration? During the interview, our reporter learned that the Phantom system of Star Technology does not include the above functions. ”

Professor Fanoan: "Not an exaggeration at all! Not having it now doesn't mean that it can't be done theoretically, and even if they do, it's impossible to tell you. In fact, I consulted with Professor Miel's colleague at the Swiss National Centre for Neural Network Research, Professor Bourki...... That's the one sitting next to me. He and I share the same view, and we agree that this is a dangerous technology that should be resisted by all parties involved. ”

The moderator looked at Professor Burki.

"Is this true? What about your point of view? Professor Burkey. ”

The camera cuts from Professor Fanoan to Professor Burki.

In the face of the moderator's inquiry, Professor Burki first nodded affirmatively, and then continued in a serious tone.

"The views that Professor Fano is talking about are my views. In fact, virtual reality has always been one of the key research projects of our Swiss National Research Center for Neural Networks, and it was in this direction that Professor Miel worked on until he left the company. ”

"He was a brilliant scholar, but the ideas he advocated diverged from ours. When we insisted that technology should serve our society, not make it worse, he chose to leave and go to China. ”

"I don't want to blame him for his betrayal, but what I can't accept is that in the face of our accusations, he not only has no intention of introspection, but even insists on continuing his evil experiment with the support of the official forces in China."

"This makes us sadder than betrayal!"

As one of the core developers of the Phantom system, Professor Miel's name is not unfamiliar to the vast majority of people who follow the progress of virtual reality technology.

When even Professor Miel's colleagues at the Swiss National Center for Neural Network Research expressed concern, the host's face finally showed a solemn look, and the guests in the audience were also in an uproar.

Less than an hour after the show aired, excerpts from the video were posted on YouTube and widely circulated on Facebook and Twitter.

For a while, the attack on the "Phantom" system and the closed beta of Star Technology was very loud, and the developers involved in the project were affected.

Judging from the sharp swords pointing to it, Star Technology seems to have been pushed to a disadvantageous position in this public opinion war, and the pace of developing overseas markets has not yet begun, and it has fallen into such a huge public opinion storm.

At the same time, in the office of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Professor Miel, who had watched the video, was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and angrily called his old colleague Professor Burki.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Hearing the roar from the other end of the earpiece, Professor Burki, who was sitting in the waiting room of the airport and was about to return to Switzerland from the United States, smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "Take it easy, my dear Professor Miel, how are you doing now?" ”

Hearing his old colleague's non-caring tone, Professor Miel's anger grew even stronger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're embarrassed to ask me!" What the hell is going on with that CNN interview! Others don't understand the structure of neural networks, don't tell me you don't understand either! How can all that you say about brainwashing come true! ”

This kind of reversal of right and wrong not only hurts the corporate image of Star Technology and its own academic reputation, but also hurts the public's confidence in this technology, and even all scholars engaged in research in this direction.

If only he was telling the truth.

But the question is what kind of brainwashing or mind control and other statements, which are purely reversing right and wrong, and this is not something that can be done through virtual reality technology at all!

Even if a neural modem can send a signal to the brain, it is the brain itself that makes the judgment. In essence, it functions the same as eyes and ears, just a repeater that receives signals from the outside world.

However, in the face of Professor Miel's reprimand, Professor Burki's tone was indeed full of lightness, and even smiled casually.

"What's impossible? What can even be done with a TV set and a newspaper, I'm sure your Phantom system will do it even better. ”

Professor Miel said with a gloomy expression, "You're playing with words. ”

"All the public needs to know is the truth, and I told them if wordplay is so important," Professor Burke smiled, "Honestly, if you really care about your reputation so much, in fact you have a choice." ”

Miel: "...... What way? ”

Professor Burki: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

Miel said coldly: "Are you dreaming? ”

Not angry at the refusal of his old colleague, Professor Burki, who was sitting on the phone in the waiting room, shrugged his shoulders.

"Recognize the reality, man. Star Technology is trying to build a virtual reality network that is independent of the traditional Internet and based on cloud computing technology. Do you know what that means? It is almost inevitable that they will face such troubles as they are now. ”

"Of course, I don't deny the greatness of neural access virtual reality technology, and what you're studying will have a huge impact in the near future, and even directly drive our society towards change."

"However, when this change is not in the right hands, it is dangerous."

"Now, we agree that the original system has many hidden dangers and is full of dangers to the public, so we need to work together with the international community to develop a safer and more conservative second-generation virtual reality system, and there is a generous owner willing to pay for it...... Do you understand what I mean? I wholeheartedly suggest that you seriously consider joining us, for it is the best choice for you to draw a line with the Chinese-"

Professor Miel scolded angrily, "Do you think I'll promise you? You vile and shameless villain! ”

Surprised by Professor Miel's angry scolding, Professor Burki was slightly stunned, but only for half a second, and then said with a smile.

"Each other, each other."

Then, the phone hung up.

Listening to the blind voice on the other end of the phone, Professor Miel slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn!"

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the office.

There was a knock on the office door, and a researcher in a white lab coat walked in.

"Professor Miel."

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm his emotions, Professor Miel asked.

"What's the matter?"

The researcher said, "This is a new experimental plan, and the project management department over there at Star Technology asked me to send it to you." ”

New experiment proposal?

Is now the time to experiment?

Patiently taking the proposal, Professor Miel glanced at it with a frown.

Pupils constricted slightly.

At this moment, he finally understood why the top management of Star Technology was so calm......
