    The irony of LLMs is they try to solve the problem of making information easier to retrieve, which was made harder by SEO’d sites that bury the information you need halfway through the page under the history of the author’s great grandmother’s chicken sauce recipe.

    Also, why didn’t they just fucking record this in advance?

    How did we get here? How did computers go from a tool to solve real problems to becoming this useless, silly distraction?

    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?

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

    I think he’s a piece of shit who’s become somewhat dumber because of the aforementioned yes men and that he doesn’t need to have any good plans anymore, and the ketamine doesn’t help, and also having low emotional intelligence makes him seem stupid at times. Not to mention the fact that he’s got all kinds of issues that he’ll never get psychological help for.

    But he got his undergrad in physics and went to grad school for econ (and I don’t think he paid people to do his work like the orange blob). He’s not a Tony stark genius like he’d like to imagine himself but as much as I hate him I don’t think he’s dumb.

    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?

    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.

        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.

          I feel like him cutting it off as it was listing things on the table might’ve kinda bricked it too

    You are all falling for meta advertising, if it wasn’t for this mishap nobody would know they are releasing a new product

    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.

    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.

    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?
