Not sure that, "sorry, we botched our entire tech demo because we couldn't get the router working," is a better explanation.

Apparently they DDoSed themselves. They broadcast the verbal instruction "OK Meta" on a closed network with hundreds of meta AI users.
I still don't see how that would explain that the AI gave the wrong answer. It would make more sense if the AI gave no answer.

That excuse where supposedly the meta glasses connect to any random server available in the network without even a warning seems even worse, it's a huge security issue if true

A classic example of realworld AI implementation. I wonder how many times they rehearsed the cooking scene before deciding it was never going to work.
It probably worked fine earlier. Or they wouldn’t have done it
yeah, they probably had a system prompt setup to make sure it responded appropriately, something like, we're about to make a japanese BBQ sauce from the ingredients on the table, when we ask about it, use the camera to look at and remark about the ingredients on the table.
But AI distills noise, and it has memory so it probably just mashed the gas this time. The part where it was supposed to recognise his actions was smoke and mirrors. It's fine at telling what's on the table, it's bad at recognising what he's doing.

You are all falling for meta advertising, if it wasn't for this mishap nobody would know they are releasing a new product
I still dont know what they are doing other than making themselves look like idiots.

what's the product again?
oh right, it's you.
Making his product look stupid twice in the same event seems like a bold marketing strategy....

"The wifi"
I wonder if botched demos are not starting to become intentional. In the end, the more people talk about something, the more successful that marketing action is, right?
I hate it. There is no dumb enought thing, that billioners can do to prove that are truly dumb, without people giving them benefits of playing 4-dimensional chess. The king truly is naked.

Smokin' some brisket with the Sweet Baby Ray's
Ugh every time I see a bottle I remember the fuck face saying it goddamn it get him out of my brain
I see Mark Cuckberg has become an adept of the "BSoD in front of everyone", now that Microsoft no longer does that. Remember that metaverse marketing?
The wifi is messing up 😅
Ridiculing slopvangelical LLM thumpers is the only valid response.
No one who truly understands how computing works can legitimately argue what played out in this video was the result of ‘bad Wi-Fi’.

You'd think they script this and test it a couple of times before showing it to the press. If they can't manage to do that, maybe the hundreds of billions of investments into their AI program are a teeny tiny bit misplaced.

How did we get here? How did computers go from a tool to solve real problems to becoming this useless, silly distraction?
Capitalism
I think it's more "productivism", the idea that everyone needs to be employed. Since I believe there is very little for people to actually do anymore, we need to constantly come up with nonsense to keep the "velocity of money" up.

Im a little confused, how is this new tech? Also how is it so bad? Couldn’t Siri and basically every phone now do a better job at what he’s trying to do?
Is Zuckerberg's buffoonery an intentional distraction from the evil algorithmic destruction of society via Meta's products?
If so, when are we going to stop taking the bait?
