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?
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?
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…
Ridiculing slopvangelical LLM thumpers is the only valid response.
No one who truly understands how computing works can legitimately argue what played out in this video was the result of ‘bad Wi-Fi’.
The dude doing the demo was Jack Mancuso, a food content creator.
bro please how will I cook my meals bro
ive been eating so healthy for weeks now bro
it saved me from scrolling directly to the bottom of so many SEO-optimized pages
please bro
Why anyone would applaud that pathetic attempt at a demo is a mystery. Maybe they were plants?
What? No, those are obviously human not plant.
But yes, event like these tend to have a paid actor that initiate claps and cheers
the only one not human was the robot, zuckerborg.
Must be the one that keeps shouting “woohoo” before anyone else at every little thing mark does.
You are all falling for meta advertising, if it wasn’t for this mishap nobody would know they are releasing a new product
what’s the product again?
oh right, it’s you.
Nah zuckerboot is legit angry. Everybody knows of meta glasses already and now they know they don’t work.
Nobody knew they were releasing new ones until this shit
Making his product look stupid twice in the same event seems like a bold marketing strategy…
donald trump make himself looks stupid every day and he won elections twice. Stop giving them visibility that’s how they lose.
Trump looks stupid to normal people. To traitor lunatics, he is amazing. That’s the difference here. Nobody sees a product demo gone awry and thinks they’ve gotta have it.
You are here talking on a thread about meta shit and not somewhere else.
I don’t understand your point.
Their new product is getting all the visibility.
Right, I mean, of course…but you think it’s good press?
I still dont know what they are doing other than making themselves look like idiots.
Cheese. They’re making cheese. Butt flavoured cheese.
That checks out. Now grate a pear into it.
I still dont know what they are doing
They are advertising their product, you are talking on a thread about it

Bro just wasn’t hallucinating the same reality as the glasses. He just had to grate the carrots and add them to the base he already made. Duh.
Pear* lol
„No i haven’t. Walk me through it from the start, please“ could have very well saved that performance.
But I guess that was not in the script.
I dunno , if ‘what do I do first’ can’t get there….
“How do I make a Korean inspired marinade?”
“I see you have already opened the hood, now check the v-belt”
Smokin’ some brisket with the Sweet Baby Ray’s
“What is the zucc thing? The Z U C C thing?”
Ugh every time I see a bottle I remember the fuck face saying it goddamn it get him out of my brain
The wifi is messing up 😅
How did we get here? How did computers go from a tool to solve real problems to becoming this useless, silly distraction?
Capitalism
I think it’s more “productivism”, the idea that everyone needs to be employed. Since I believe there is very little for people to actually do anymore, we need to constantly come up with nonsense to keep the “velocity of money” up.
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.
No sense in spending the extra to get it perfect when your asking them to invest in the concept and the future.
Also, would set expectations for the next demo to actually work too.
maybe for dipshits, so yes it will be a winning strategy
Even if this worked perfectly, ignoring the fact that it’s clearly setup for the camera to recognise certain things and is in no way a genuine demonstration, what is the point of this? By the time it’s even responded to his first “Hey meta” he could have typed “korean steak sauce recipe” into his search engine of choice and got back several dozen decent results in seconds.
What is the problem that these LLMs and chatbots are the solution for? It’s like they’re all desperately trying to market some fancy new type of barely functioning legs to everyone when we already have legs, and arms, and cars, and bicycles.
To be fair, it is helpful to do grunt repetitive work which is only slightly different from the established formula. For me, it solved a quick math olympiad-esque problem which appeared in research.
But it is never conscious or creative.
That’s not the point. He’s planning to harvest data about the environment in your home (what products you have around you, which brands do you prefer, etc) for better ad targeting and whatnot.
I guarantee that a lot of people will use it; and not because it does a great job, but out of curiosity, peer pressure, or abject laziness.
Well sure, but you can’t harvest data using your one legged mech suit of everyone keeps riding around on their perfectly functional bike.
LLMs just don’t have a real use case for most people. That’s the core issue here, and it isn’t one that’s going to get solved anytime soon.
I’m pretty sure lots of people use Google Home Assistant or Amazon’s Alexa. Now slap a camera on it and hook it to an LLM and you’re all set. That’s what meta is about to do.
Meta isn’t really a widget seller, though. Alexa and the Google thing only have the user base they do because they jam it into every device they sell.
It’s not a huge leap for them though. They could do it. They already sell VR gear that’s relatively popular, and they have the resources and reach to market anything. If it allows them to spy on people to this level, watch them subsidise any device they sell to hell and back.
Even acquiring a company that already sells consumer electronics/appliances and subsidising their products isn’t impossible for them. Like I said, they have the resources.
object recognition and classification is not LLM
No, but it can certainly augment LLMs.
Yup, their only real use in my daily life would be as a search result summary tool. Unfortunately in my experience they’re they’ve been a net negative in that area and are hidden/ignored because they give the most common answer, which is rarely the specific answer I’m searching for.
Which will still not be enught to make ads work. It’s so much effort and abuse for nothing.
The idea is the AI would automatically look at what you have and come up with something, substituting ingredients for what you have as necessary.
“korean steak sauce recipe” into his search engine of choice and got back several dozen decent results in seconds.
Have you tried looking for a recipe in the last 10 years or so? 10 pages of fluff with a recipe the author cobbled together from other recipes and guess work and made exactly 1 time if that at the bottom.
You know what would be more useful than this AI and wouldn’t cost billions of dollars? If Facebook made a simple recipe that didn’t have all that fluff. Instead of having AI try to come up with it in the fly, you could just have premade recipes. Wouldn’t that be grand. Oh wait, that wouldn’t give the opportunity for the AI to recommend a specific brand of soy sauce or that you buy your spices from Doordash with a 10% discount coupon!
chatGPT as NEVR suggested a specific bran to me. What is it about anti-AI crusading do you think excuses your deliberate misinformation?
Why do you think advertising companies like Google and Meta are dumping so much money into AI? It isn’t to make a better product for the user.
Because OpenAI opened up this new front and every other tech company has been trying to catch up since. Because it’s a service they can offer people and make money from.
It isn’t to make a better product for the user.
Yeah I guess that’s why they’ve drastically improved in just a few years. Great agument.
If you think that they’re never going to put subtle ads into LLM output then you are really, really unaware of what the tech world is like and how they’re fucking using you
AI deserves to be crusaded against because we cannot trust the motivations of any of its creators. Do YOU trust Mark Zuckerberg??
If you think that they’re never going to put subtle ads into LLM output
I know for a fact that the ones I’ve used have never done that. I don’t just mindlessly use them, I evaluate their output. The tech “using me” isn’t a surprise, like you single-minded ideologues think. I know what I put in and what use I’m looking to get out of it. It’s an extremely useful tool that I’m not going to discard because of angry people with shitty arguments on the internet.
These “crusades” are stupid and pointless. If YOU don’t want to use it, THEN DON’T. Get over your rampant arrogance and understand that you’re not entitled to order others around.

Bro, people are just sharing opinions on the internet. Nobody even mentioned you, let alone tried to order you to do anything or not do anything.
When we hear people criticising things that are important to us, it’s easy to react as though ‘criticising x thing = saying I’m wrong for liking that thing = criticising my judgement’, but that’s a fallacy we’ve all got to be more aware of.
People are going to say they dislike things. That’s a very central feature of humanity and free speech. And sometimes, people will have different opinions to you. That’s also a central feature of humanity.
So if you want people to be free to criticise things, and you don’t want to exist in an echo chamber of people just agreeing with whatever you say, you do actually want people to sometimes say they dislike things that you like. Where everyone falls down is: you don’t have to join every conversation that you disagree with. You don’t even have to read it.
There are entire communities full of people who dislike puppies and Ben & Jerry’s and comfy clothes. I legit think some of them are a danger to society and would be personally offended if I had to debate their reasoning. But the great thing is, I don’t have to. So I don’t. There is no benefit to anybody in me spending my time and energy arguing with weirdos that puppies are cool, apart from the social media trend of getting people addicted to rage, and I don’t really want to facilitate that.
So they can all have their weird opinions and debate then together. And I can engage in discussions that don’t upset or enrage me (most of the time. It’s a tough habit to kick).
And everyone is a little happier, except the people trying to make the western world angrier, and screw them.
Cooking is my favorite use of AI. It has completely changed the way I eat, which is much healthier. I also try new things I never would have before. I load up on healthy ingredients, spices and sauces and let it do it’s thing. You can always have it mix it up, or focus on an ingredient that’s more perishable, or focus on something that may be expiring soon. The variability is endless. I’ve been cooking every day for months, never once made the same thing twice.
So your saying you are dumb. Gotcha
The same pressures that made internet search suck applies to AI doing search as well.
The idea is the AI would automatically look at what you have and come up with something, substituting ingredients for what you have as necessary.
But as in the staged example they’ve put together here, that required you to find and lay out all your ingredients already so you’ve already done 90% of the work. Are my AI glasses going to be able to scan all my cupboards and fridge and pantry for things first and then go from there? It’s a bad solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist.
Have you tried looking for a recipe in the last 10 years or so? 10 pages of fluff with a recipe the author cobbled together from other recipes and guess work and made exactly 1 time if that at the bottom.
Yes, all the time, I even looked at recipes for “Korean style steak sauce” to prove my point and got probably a dozen decent ones straight away, including a couple from very well recognised sites like BBC Good Food.
And where exactly do you suppose the LLM has scraped together all it’s information from for what you can substitute canola oil or sesame seeds for? Those exact recipes you could just have searched for.

Who cares? It’s still more convenient.
LOL it demonstrably is not.

No, the idea is that you wear the glasses all the time and it scans and knows the contents of your house constantly. What brands you like, what products you own, what activities you do and when, what conversations you have, whether or not you like the government, whether or not you own a computer with an ad blocker, what the best entry points are for a SWAT team from ICE, etc.
So it would already know what ingredients you have for making a Korean inspired BBQ sauce, and as long as you were well-mannered and compliant in your home and all the public spaces you visit at all times, it wouldn’t direct you to the re-education camp for further analysis on what radicalized you out of their control.
I don’t understand why you people are so negative about AI and the motivations of these large tech companies creating it on here! Think of how much easier life would be.
Why is he so weirdly obsessed with BBQ sauce?
What do you mean? People love barbeque sauce. There’s nothing more normal and human than barbeque sauce. Biological human beings are natural barbeque sauce enthusiasts.
Masculinity signifier
I didn’t realize you had to be insecure in your masculinity to like BBQ sauce.
Sauce is the true litmus test of civilization
