#32As much as it'll be "interesting" to see how models behave in real world examples (presumably similarly to how the demos went), I'm not convinced this is a premade recording like what seems to be implied. I'm imagining this is an incomplete flow within a software prototype that may have jumped steps and lacks sufficient multi-modal capability to correct. It could also be staged recordings. But, I don't think it reall…
Yea the behavior of the AI read to me more like a hard coded demo but still very much "live". I suspect him cutting it off was poorly timed and that timing could have amplified due to WiFi? Who knows. I wasn't there. I didn't build it.
So the live demo failed?

#33The Kotaku article on this had a really nice final zinger[0]:

#34I love how they randomly blame the WiFi network, like anyone is going to buy it.
Bad idea to rely on WiFi for an important demo in a crowded environment. It would have worked fine in testing but when the crowd arrives and they all start streaming etc, they bring hundreds more devices all competing for bandwidth.
Zuck should have known better and used Ethernet for this one!

#35There is a second part that is equally bad, but with Zuck: https://old.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1nkbqyk/...
I really missed seeing Zuck sweat.

Pretty sure it's a meme, like blaming the WLAN cable.

God, that's actually painful to watch. I can't believe I lasted two minutes.
Mark's definitely mastered optimizing for peak cringe factor while at 1.95T valuation.

#38I bet they rehearsed a dozen times and never failed as bad live. Got to give them props for keeping the live demos. Apple has neutered its demos so much it's now basically 2 hr long commercials.
The new Apple presentations are much more information dense, and tailored to the main (online) audience. They’re clearly better.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Zuckerberg has negative charisma, it's painful to watch... Jobs handled this so much better; while clearly he is pissed, he doesn't leave you cringing in mutual embarrassment, goes to show it isn't as easy as he makes it look!

Jobs was one of a kind. He had that aura that Bill G et al envied. He admitted so in a video that can be found on YT.
Yet even Bill G handled public failure better than Zuck: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGwy4sb9aO8

#40The failures on stage were kind of endearing, to be honest, especially the one with Zuck. Plus the products seem really cool, I hope I'll be able to try them out soon.
Endearing is great for trying to sell a heartfelt, homeade piece of art. It clashes when it's a trillionaire company trying to pretend this product can replace entire sectors of human labor.
