Chapter 475: 0475 Nonsensical Talk_1

The "Lonely Genius" used the same name on Twitter as their forum handle.

Of course, there are plenty of odd names on Twitter, and theirs wasn’t a big deal, but starting a bombardment directly under Theodore Hailey’s video tweet immediately triggered backlash from a group of fans.

That’s right, Theodore Hailey still had fans.

After all, with the booming live broadcast industry, including numerous short-video platforms reigning supreme, Theodore Hailey, as an attractive top student, caught this trend on a famous short-video APP. Whenever he had time, he would post a few videos about academics. Good looks and great grades naturally caught a lot of people’s attention, amassing millions of fans on the APP.

It’s just that the fans were mostly active on the APP, but now that they saw Theodore Hailey under attack, they immediately began assailing the "Lonely Genius" under his Twitter post.

[Do you even know what you’re talking about? Who are you accusing of plagiarizing? Speak clearly!]

[Spreading such rumors under our Theodore’s Twitter post, your jealousy is truly disgusting]

[You’re so full of yourself, you even dare to spread rumors under Andalu University’s official account, wait for the lawyer’s letter!]

...

Initially, only a few dozen attacks from fans came in, but the "Lonely Genius" quickly noticed and immediately threw out the link to the forum post where they had discussed with Ellen Young. Quite a few people clicked in, but were greeted with long strings of dense, complex data discussions—completely incomprehensible!

Ellen Young and the "Lonely Genius" discussed AI throughout the post, with dozens of layers of responses all filled with technical data. Ordinary people couldn’t understand it at a glance, let alone identify any similarities.

The theory Theodore Hailey referenced was indeed central, and unless you were a professional, it was hard to spot any copying.

Later, they and Ellen Young shifted their debate to a private chat on WhatsApp, and the forum post, left uncontinued like it was abruptly cut off, drew no further comments and had sunk into obscurity for quite some time.

If the "Lonely Genius" had not brought it up, it’s likely that nobody would have noticed.

The fans, who couldn’t spot anything amiss—after all, not many of them appreciated Theodore Hailey for his genuine substance—were oblivious. But since the tweet was under Andalu University’s official account, it didn’t take long before the school assistant managing the account sensed something off, clicked in to have a look, and feeling unease, notified both Theodore Hailey and the school.

And all of this happened just a few hours after Andalu University’s official account had posted his speech video.

Theodore Hailey had returned to his dormitory and his face fell the moment he learned of the situation.

He had been found out.

He knew there could be issues, but he hadn’t expected the other party to react so swiftly; obviously, they were from the same circle, and that meant trouble.

Even if troubled, Theodore Hailey only felt a flicker of nervousness inside. He was very clear that there must be a way to resolve this. Andalu wouldn’t just stand by and let him get into trouble. It was just the borrowing of two minor theories, which could easily be passed off as coincidental brainwaves. Someone with clout would not casually discuss their important ideas on a forum—Theodore Hailey surmised that the other party wasn’t too professional, having only mentioned this obscure theory by chance, and probably wasn’t an authoritative figure in reality.

With this in mind, he was slightly reassured and quickly replied, "What’s this about? This is completely groundless."

With Theodore Hailey’s confirmation, including his tutor, everyone knew about the storm on the official account.

In the spirit of a prestigious school, Andalu’s official account sent a private message to the "Lonely Genius."
