Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

Chapter 36 The Release Of GAIA OS

?Lubyanka Square, Moscow Center

In the FSB headquarters technology department they were working 24/7 trying to break the encryption of the program they received.

Normally this would have been pushed on the list as they usually had a first come first serve basis, but the moment this arrived orders from above immediately came and forced them to abandon everything they were working on and start working on the program they received.

"When are you expected to break it?" Asked Vladimir's supervisor.

"Well looks like he wasn't expecting someone to steal it so he hasn't put too much of an encryption in the program so depending on our luck anywhere between a week to a month" Answered one of the technicians working on the department.

"Okay" With that he left, leaving them to do their jobs.

Although he was dissatisfied with the amount of time it would take, there was nothing he could do to make the computer work faster anyway, so why waste time waiting for something that he will be informed about when it is done either way.

...

A week later.

Artificial intelligence was a buzzword that everyone on the internet knew. It usually starred as the bad guy in the Hollywood movies, trying to wipe out humanity with lasers and robots, only to be stopped by some hero with a witty one-liner.

From the media's branding it could be seen that humans had always been scared and suspicious of artificial intelligence.

It made sense; they were, after all, beings that didn't need a body, that lived forever and knew everything. Why would such a thing need humans?

But that didn't stop people from trying to create artificial intelligence. But that didn't stop people from trying to develop it from IBM'S computer beating people in chess to many other sports—artificial intelligence had come a long way in the years.

But where will it go from here?

Well forget about waiting for the future, you could experience it right now.

An app, as advertised by their influencers or people they follow—was on the Android platform, and the APP store.

The downloads went crazy, reaching one million downloads 7 hours after its launch, crushing any competitor for the most number of downloads a day.

This was followed by an influx of positive reviews from those who tried it and this led to more people hearing about it trying to know what was the fuss about it.

?t was there taking the number one spot of the most downloads in a day and it didn't seem like it was coming down at any time at all.

This was nothing short of fiction.

No app was that popular from the moment it was released as it usually needed to start slowly for it to then later gain momentum and a following to reach these numbers of download a day.

This was the impact of using influencer from any and all genres allowed it to have a high starting point, this momentum would all have been a naught if the app itself was bad and couldn't make the user want to continue using it, but it was quite the opposite of it.

It not only retained the user but also turned them into walking billboards as they were advertising it to their family members, friends and anyone they were close enough to want them to experience the same thing as them.

As they say: there is nothing good marketing can't fix, ask Dominos as their "Oh Yes We Did" campaign saved them.

But this app had everything to make it popular: good marketing and a good product leading it to its continuous increase in popularity by the minute.

Artificial intelligence? making your phone 2 times faster? Worked with both Android and iOS apps? Were they bullshiting us and taking us for a fool?

But when they tried it, they found out the claims were really true, as it did what it advertised to the letter and more.

Siri and Google assistant sounded like a child next to this.

....

"What's the download number?" Sarah asked Lila, the marketing manager.

"2 million downloads, most of it coming from the last 3 hours and it continues increasing" Answered Lila with enthusiasm.

Sarah gave a nod and asked "Are the influencers continuing with the marketing as agreed before?"

p?nd?`no??1--?o? "Yes, they will continue for about a week, then they will stop and let the users do the recommending of it to their friends and family after they get used to using it"

"Okay, continue monitoring the response and inform me of any changes that are different from expected." Sarah ended the discussion and returned to her work while feeling happy about the Program doing well.

Adding to her smiling when she remembered asking Aron how he plans to avoid it being taken down from the app stores, when it threatens their OS markets?(Android & ?OS)

"Well, after they downloaded it, it will act just as the assistant and the optimizers and will not immediately replace the OS, because if it does that Google and Apple will immediately remove it from their stores and ban it.

It will not replace the OS until our download number reaches at least a billion users, that's when we will announce the existence of premium versions and recommend that they replace their OS with GAIA OS inorder to increase optimization.

The V?rtual assistant will make sure to explain to them carefully that their data will not be lost and all they needed to do was to restart the phone and it will be replaced within a snap

This is expected to work, because during the period we wait for the download number to reach that high, people will build trust and dependance to the Virtual Assistant, reducing the chances of them denying it.

And when the mass exodus begins, companies like Apple and Google will not be able to stop it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"

Sarah smiled when she remembered how Aron looked like a villain when he started laughing after he finished his explanation.

But he did seem like one, because his plan will leave the companies with no choice but to just accept it.

Even if they removed it from their stores by that time it would be meaningless, as all they needed to do was make a site where they can download it or make it possible for people to recommend it others by just sending them an invite link, and they will be a "Wingardium Leviosa" away from having it.

A really sinister plan innit?
