"Mark Zuckerberg had everything ready for the big demo day. His teams at Meta had poured years of work into a new glasses device, engineering a genuine technological leap. James Cameron and Diplo were in Menlo Park for their cameos. A crowd of enthusiasts, reporters and customers watched Zuckerberg's every move as he climbed onstage."
"The first mistake came mere minutes into Meta's evening event. Onstage, Zuckerberg cut to influencer Jack Mancuso, who stood in a kitchen on the company's campus. The CEO directed Mancuso to make a steak sauce with the help of the artificial intelligence in the chef's Ray-Ban Meta glasses - the AI could see the ingredients in front of Mancuso and speak to the chef through speakers in the glasses' arms."
"But as Mancuso asked for help, the AI didn't seem to understand what he was saying or know quite how to respond. It told him he'd already combined ingredients - he hadn't - even as he gamely repeated his "What do I do first?" question. Cheekily blaming the Wi-Fi, Mancuso closed down the demo to raucous laughter, then applause from Zuckerberg's audience."
Mark Zuckerberg staged a high-profile demo for a new AI-enabled glasses device that involved years of engineering work and celebrity cameos. A crowd of enthusiasts, reporters, and customers attended the Connect keynote. Two major errors occurred during live demonstrations, prompting laughter and visible embarrassment. The first failure involved an AI assistant in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses failing to understand influencer Jack Mancuso during a cooking demo and incorrectly reporting combined ingredients. Mancuso blamed the Wi-Fi and ended the demo amid audience laughter and applause. Subsequent segments relied on non-live videos to showcase features.
