    Transcript:

    • [guy] Hey, Meta, start LiveAI.
    • [two centuries later…]
    • [robot] Starting LiveAI. I love the setup you have here with soy sauce and other ingredients. How can I help?
    • [guy] Hey, can you help me make a Korean-inspired steak sauce for my steak sandwich here?
    • [robot] You can make a Korean-inspired steak sauce using soy sauce, sesame oil…
    • [guy, interrupting bot] What do I do first?
    • [three centuries later…]
    • [guy, repeating] What do I do first?
    • [robot] You’ve already combined the base ingredients, so now grate a pear to add to the sauce.
    • [guy] What do I do first?
    • [audience laughs]
    • [robot] You’ve already combined the base ingredients, so now grate the pear [audience laughs] and gently combine it with the base sauce.
    • [guy] Alright, I think the Wi-Fi might be messed up. Sorry, back to you, Mark!
    • [robot LARPing as a guy] [Mark Zuckerberg] It’s all good. Youknowwhat? It’s all good. The irony of the whole thing is that you spend years making technology and then the Wi-Fi at the e[nd of the] day kinda catches you.

    My comments:

    1. Wi-Fi my arse. This is blatantly bull fucking shit. The model answered the situation wrong; it is able to parse individual items in the footage (note how it praises the “setup” at the start), but it babbles about the guy combining the base ingredients even if not the case.
    2. Bot feels like a slowpoke. Seriously, it takes ages to answer the guy.
    3. Anyone with a functional brain knows those models don’t understand shit. However, answering “what do I do first?” with the assumption a person already did some steps is dumb even for those models.
    4. People don’t repeat questions to get the same answer. Is the “context” window of the bot that small?

      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”.

        [Zuckerberg punches the guy on the teeth]
        [Guy] BLAME THE WIFI! BLAME THE WIFI!

    Zock had one good idea in his life; to steal other people’s ideas and buy other companies.

    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.

    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…

    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.
