Seems like blaming it on wifi was their safe word. 😂
[Guy] Spank me, daddy!
\
[Zuckerberg] Current location of your male parent required as further info.
\
[Guy] Ah, come on, just hit me Zucky~

[Zuckerberg punches the guy on the teeth]

[Guy] BLAME THE WIFI! BLAME THE WIFI!
...sorry I couldn't resist.
Idk about how impressed to be with uh… parsing the image. Like there is a bottle that says soy sauce, so it read that and then just…. Other ingredients? Vary specific!
It is not impressive, but it makes the rest of the output even worse. You're expected to treat the bot's output as human language, but it doesn't make sense like language would: it identifies the soy sauce, it should be able to identify the bowl is empty, no change happened, and yet it's still babbling that the guy "already combined the base ingredients".
This lead to one of my favorite headlines:
I laughed so hard at the pre-recorded demo where the guy interrupts his friend in the middle of the conversation in order to talk to his glasses. You can tell how wildly out of touch the billionaire and executives are who approved this product...
Will still garner millions of investor dollars, because business runs on white privilege rules now, no need for pesky concerns like functional products or a consumer base interested in paying money for what you put out. Just show fealty to the right whites, and the money just flows right in, somehow.
Shoulda just faked it like everyone else does.
@Pro AI as the unbreakable window of a Cybertruck.
Automated Inference
Zock had one good idea in his life; to steal other people's ideas and buy other companies.
I just asked an offline 1B model gemma 3 running on my phone the same question and it gave me a decent recipe , no WiFi needed.
It's not going by vision or analysis of existing ingredients.
Exactly, it had even less information and far less context, yet it produced a better result.
Great, with Alexa, they first started recording the audio in your rooms. Now, they want to record videos.
Hell no!!
That tech probably cost billions and my kids could code it better

His discomfort is visible from the very beginning. I don't think he ever had much confidence that this demo was going to go well.
