Hello, detectives. This is the Gadget Crimes Division.
From the desk of [b]Director Q[/b] of "Uncover the Smoking Gun," we have obtained a mysterious letter related to a recent series of incidents. This letter might hold the key to uncovering the truth behind the case. Let's take a look.

About Project Atlas...
The 'Atlas Chip' featured in "Uncover the Smoking Gun" was developed to be implanted in the human brain to collect data. Aren't you curious why it's called Atlas? The chip's name is derived from [u]Atlas in Greek mythology[/u]. After losing the war against Zeus, Atlas was punished for holding up the sky, symbolizing the duality of having the world yet bearing the pain of holding it up. This mirrors the notion that while AI's advanced performance can improve our lives, there are also side effects and concerns.

The Atlas Chip is implanted in the human brain to collect and data-fy a person's lifetime. The first cervical vertebra (C1), also known as the atlas in medical terminology, was initially considered for the chip's implantation location. However, it was decided to implant the chip directly into the brain for better data extraction efficiency.

Have you ever imagined a deep learning chip implanted into the human brain? The chip is so advanced that the human brain might eventually rely on it and degrade... Me? I'd prefer to use my brain as it is, even if it's a bit slower.
A brain implanted with a deep learning chip will rely on the chip's superior processing power, eventually leading to its degradation. Additionally, the frontal lobe, responsible for emotions and empathy, will be particularly affected. This represents the duality similar to the punishment of 'Atlas' mentioned earlier. The methods to mitigate side effects are as follows:
1. Use of Cerebrolu-X
2. Use of similar components like Donepezil
3. Implantation in humans with exceptional deep learning adaptability
Cerebrolu-X is very expensive and contains narcotic ingredients. While it's necessary to maintain humanity, abuse can ruin lives. Another effect is that it highly activates the brain upon administration, aiding in the extraction or implantation of large data volumes. Donepezil, a similar component, was originally a treatment for dementia but ceased production in 2030 after dementia was eradicated. As a result, only some researchers familiar with its similarity to Cerebrolu-X make and possess it.
There are non-pharmaceutical methods as well. A few individuals possess outstanding deep learning adaptability, allowing them to adapt and coexist with the chip without brain degradation. Dr. Loren discovered this among early volunteer subjects and named it Test Subject X. Unfortunately, Test Subject X lost his life during the research, but researchers scanned and stored his data to use as learning data for the second-generation Atlas Chip. The second-generation chip is still in its early stages and is provided only to a few researchers at AIC for research purposes....
Detectives, we hope this letter greatly aids your investigation. Now, use your deductive skills and determination to uncover the truth behind the case.
