For Musk, this is not his first time here.
People are indeed protesting.
After all, that's not the point of the conference.
However, when the virtual reality network outside has matured and local North American companies want to enter this market, what they have to face is not just a shark like Star Technology, but a group of...
He finally understood where Starry Sky Technology's real trump card lies.
Theoretically, as long as they do this, it will be easy to drive Starry Sky Technology out of their lives.
This is too underestimated the power of this technology...
"Of course, we understand if you are not interested."
But in addition to the existing protests, more new protests are not for the purpose of boycott, or against some imaginary brainwashing and evil.
It is of course easy to reject progress; simply keeping the technology out of customs is enough.
When he said this, Andrew's tone could be said to be impassioned, and even he was moved.
"According to our company's development strategy."
"... In addition, I understand that there are some false reports and rumors circulating on the Internet, as well as some concerns from ordinary people."
Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact that there is no competition for the Phantom system in a short period of time. Regardless of whether others are willing to accept this reality, the Phantom System has a foundation that cannot be replaced.
"Of course, everyone has the right to choose whether to evolve. As a technology company, we only serve the future and are only responsible for providing better choices."
According to the CEO, Star Technology will establish a virtual reality network grading system to determine the signal that users can receive from the neural modem based on the user's age and the user's independent choice.
However, the CEO standing on the stage seemed to have basically ignored this point and continued to speak unhurriedly.
This sentence is quite true.
What really makes the traditional Western media feel a little worried, even frightened, is that those who are really paying attention to this technology do not seem to buy their account.
And it’s still the kind that makes you full.
One thing he has in common with Zuckerberg is that he also wants to know what Starry Sky Technology, which hopes to wash away the dirty water on itself with a product launch, plans to say here...
"We will divide our global business into eight major regions, establish supercomputing centers in each major region to provide computing services for the virtual reality network, and use the supercomputing centers in each major region as a base to expand the width of the virtual reality network."
All we need to do is reject mobile phones with lithium-sulfur batteries, new energy vehicles with lithium-air batteries, reject the use of wireless charging piles, and oppose the use of carbon-based chips by semiconductor companies across the United States, or simply reject all electronic devices that use carbon chips. The fusion power stations under construction in California can use SG series superconducting materials and special radiation-resistant materials, or simply refuse to use clean fusion nuclear energy...
On social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, there was not a huge wave of public opinion as they imagined.
"After all, the future never serves everyone, but only the majority or even some people, and we have never had extra hope for true free trade without any prejudice."
…
Although he covets the benefits that this future technology may bring, for Musk, it is just a tool to make money, and he is not as eager to get it as Zuckerberg is.
What does this mean
After shaking hands with Musk, Zuckerberg replied succinctly.
And it's almost certain that reporters won't ask them friendly questions.
Now that he is here, Musk is not surprised at all.
A demonstration has broken out in Los Angeles against the introduction of the Phantom system. Although he wanted to cooperate with Star Technology, Zuckerberg had to cautiously shelve the plan on this matter and planned to wait and see for a while.
Zuckerberg has made up his mind to find an opportunity to talk to people from Star Technology after the press conference is over...
Take back your previous point.
At the same time, in order to improve the algorithm logic of the phantom system and better identify the appropriate parts from the huge amount of information, Starry Sky Technology announced the launch of the "Master God" plan, recruiting 5-20 employees in various continents around the world. Testers participate in this project and help the Phantom system complete this set of algorithm logic through deep learning methods.
Although, like Zuckerberg, he is not optimistic about Star Technology’s public relations approach this time, the information released in this sentence is undoubtedly a new trend after the cold winter for businessmen like them who have stumbled on virtual reality technology. Great news.
The product launch conference of Phantom Virtual Reality System was officially held.
As for the specific experimental content, Chen Yushan did not disclose it at the scene.
"This... is this an official response? What exactly are they planning to do?"
The product launch is about to begin.
In any case, no matter what other companies think, Facebook must not miss this opportunity that is about to reshape the entire Internet industry.
This operation really surprised him.
At the beginning of the meeting, Ms. Chen Yushan, CEO of Starry Sky Technology, came to the stage and announced the start of the product launch.
In fact, Star Technology is not a production company, but an intellectual property company.
They are losing their influence.
Instead, there is a content rating system for virtual reality networks, and a new pilot plan to accompany it.
It not only gives solutions but also answers questions.
It was beyond everyone's expectation.
Standing in the hall with the invitation letter, just as he was about to go to the press conference, he suddenly noticed an acquaintance here.
This means that if the virtual reality network enters North America, all companies participating in the Phantom System ecosystem will be able to take a bite of the soup.
In other words, do you want to use it
Looking at the stage with contracted pupils, Musk's eyes were faintly flashing with excitement.
"Are they crazy?"
Musk: "Your expression seems to be telling me that you are not in a very good mood."
The former is crazy because of the news that Starry Sky Technology released during the product launch about finding partners to develop other regional markets, while the reason why the latter is crazy is because...
"Haha, I'm just average." Faced with the acquaintance's rhetorical question, Musk smiled and said, "Although virtual reality technology interests me, it's not enough to make me addicted. Maybe it's important to Facebook. , but for my Tesla and Space-X, it doesn’t matter if it’s there or not.”
Among the people present are CEOs of well-known technology companies, experts from academia, or journalists working in the media.
Like those in the media who were in an uproar, the eyes of the entrepreneurs present were also filled with shock.
However, what he didn't expect was that contrary to his caution, Star Technology seemed to not take the recent heated public opinion on the Internet seriously, but instead chose to hold a product launch conference at this juncture.
After the product launch conference, Andrew, a well-known reporter from CNN, expressed his dissatisfaction that Star Technology did not give them a separate opportunity to criticize - oh no, an interview. He shouted excitedly into the empty camera.
"I have never seen such an arrogant company. They don't care about the demands of the people of the world at all. They only know how to sell their flashy gadgets. From today on, I will not buy anything with the Star Technology label. !Any! I hope everyone can unite and boycott this company, this evil technology and the organizations that use it!"
Zuckerberg asked, "Aren't you the same?"
Although the supercomputing center in Jinling has not yet been completed, they have already seen the dawn of a virtual reality network.
After briefly explaining these arrangements, facing all the attendees and the cameras in the back row, she cleared her throat and continued.
…
Some time ago, Facebook split up Oculus' business and laid off large-scale layoffs, which caused a stir on the Internet.
"Nice to meet you, I didn't expect it either."
They were completely ignored.
However, this is not where the real details come into play.
After the product launch that day, the Western media, led by CNN, published reports about the product launch almost in a way of venting their anger and in a mocking tone.
The voice of excitement and celebration completely drowned out the debate about "evil".
"They must be crazy..."
Just plain ignorance.
However, just when they were ready to see the joke, what happened next shocked the entire Western media world...
Whether it was the criticism from well-known psychology experts in the CNN studio or the anti-virtual reality technology and anti-brainwashing device demonstrations on the streets of New York City, Star Technology seemed not to have seen it.
It's because Star Technology has not announced a plan to "push the virtual reality network to their doorsteps", so potential users who are looking forward to the early introduction of this technology have expressed their frustration by complaining. .
However, can this method alone make the public completely let go of their wariness about this technology? Can the vested interest groups headed by the White House be persuaded to recognize the reality and accept the status quo calmly
"From a scientific point of view, virtual reality is absolutely safe. It is like our second eye. It is just a tool we use to receive external signals and cannot replace our unique thinking."
Sitting in the audience and looking at the CEO of Star Technology who was speaking on the stage, Zuckerberg couldn't help but frown slightly.
As the vast majority of Silicon Valley CEOs have speculated, Star Technology does not intend to engage in competition in the lower reaches of the industry chain. It intends to leave its customer interfaces to the market, and it will only provide cloud computing service terminals and interfaces to enterprises.
Especially those Western reporters carrying cameras, many of them were completely dumbfounded.
Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
When these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the scene.
Surprisingly, the CEO lady did not seem to regard the recent hot discussion on the Internet as an important matter and put it at the top of the press conference. Instead, she focused on the two major focuses of Phantom System's future work. The beginning of the meeting.
Are they too confident in their own skills? !
The conference site was crowded with people, and it was completely dark as far as the eye could see.
"I didn't expect to see you here," Musk said with a formulaic smile on his face, extending his right hand. "It seems like today is a lucky day."
"As for business in other regions, we welcome other visionary high-tech companies to join our cause and promote the globalization of virtual reality networks."
If nothing else happens, he will most likely become his competitor in the near future.
This person is none other than Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook.
In contrast, the potential users included in the East Asia region were overjoyed.
At least, everything didn't go in the direction they imagined.
Musk also said nothing, just shrugged and walked towards the venue.
They are losing their status as uncrowned kings.
The rabble who were originally at their mercy actually ignored them at all this time...
To be honest, he was pessimistic about Starry Sky Technology's simple approach.
After glancing at Musk, who was smiling a little gloatingly, Zuckerberg turned and walked towards the venue without saying anything.
In addition, many high-tech companies, including Facebook and other social platforms, which were originally neutral, seem to have become ambiguous on this matter and have begun to actively cool down the voices of protest.
"The location selection for the first supercomputing center has been completed. It is located in Jinling, China. It will provide the entire East Asia region with the computing power support required for virtual reality networks."
Yes.
perhaps
It’s easy to boycott Star Technology.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
If they choose to hold a product launch at this time, it will undoubtedly mean that they will face surging public opinion.
"The above is our company's response to recent false rumors about virtual reality technology on the Internet. Next is the focus of this product launch..."
But the meaning behind the shock was something completely different.
Repeating this sentence and rubbing his fingers, Zuckerberg's eyes flashed with excitement.
It was as if they had reached some ulterior secret agreement with those Chinese people.
Regardless of whether Xingkong Technology is crazy or not, after the product launch, the high-tech companies who visited the scene were already crazy, and the invited Western media were also crazy.
Starry Sky Technology doesn’t care about markets outside East Asia
At least Western journalists certainly don’t.
In terms of clarifying the negative news itself, such a statement is nothing.
In short, users under the age of 18 will not be able to receive discordant content, while users over the age of 18 can selectively enable the reception of discordant content if permitted by local laws and regulations.
