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?
There is a second part that is equally bad, but with Zuck: https://old.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1nkbqyk/...
Big tech has spent $155bn on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/02/big-tech-...

But why even have a conversation at all? Who cares if Zuckerberg has a demo that goes awry? Does that satisfy your intellectual curiosity somehow? It certainly doesn't satisfy mine.
I mean, I think it is notable that a massive tech company is blowing tens to hundreds of billions on this complete nonsense.
For a while that was okay, this kind of stuff was just contained in those threads. But it's started leaking out everywhere. Just spam like comments tangentially related to the topic that just bash a big company. That's the lowering of SNR that I find grating.

It's funny because he spent so much money on hair and clothing stylists, jewellery, BJJ coaching, surfing lessons , really made an effort to come across as "cool" and the end result is...you cannot fake who you are, and your actions are what define you and make up your character, he is prime example of that. He cannot escape who he is.
> He cannot escape who he is. One of the best CEOs in the world with about 20 years of experience at age 40? And also founded the company? He’s doing pretty good. And if you’re talking about “image” he is a millennial archetype.

Live demos are especially hard when you're selling snake oil.
Ironically the original snake oil salesman's pitch involved slitting open a live rattlesnake and boiling it in front of a crowd. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/08/26/215761377...

Quick question: if there is a paid anti-AI movement, where do I send my invoice? May as well not leave money on the table.
I love this

That wasn't prerecorded, but it was rigged. They probably practiced a few times and it confused the AI. Still it's no excuse. They've dropped Apollo-program level money on this and it's still dumb as a rock. I'm endless amazed that Meta has a ~2T market cap, yet they can't build products.
They could learn a thing or two from Elon.

And the whole pear in the recipe situation was also hilarious :)
> And the whole pear in the recipe situation was also hilarious The fact that the pear was in the recipe, or that the AI didn’t handle that situation around the pear well? Asian pears are a common ingredient in beef marinades/sauces in Korea. It adds sweetness and (iirc) helps tenderize the meat when in a marinade.
