Curious about what caused the hiccups during Meta Connect's tech demos? Well, Meta's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, has the inside scoop for you!
Behind the Scenes: Exploring the Glitches
WiFi Overload and Bugs Galore
So, here's the deal: during Meta Connect, things got a bit wonky due to a WiFi overload and a pesky bug in the spanking new Meta Ray-Ban Display. But fear not, it wasn't a product meltdown – just some demo hiccups.
On that fateful day, CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage, unveiling the latest Meta goodies like the upgraded Meta Ray-Bans, a cool neural wristband, the heads-up display-enabled Meta Ray-Bans Display, and sporty Oakley glasses. And of course, live demos followed suit.
'We Ddosed ourselves'
When Tech Plays Pranks
Let's dive into the first glitch – the foodie demo with Jack Mancuso and the Ray Ban Meta glasses. Mancuso tried to whip up a Korean-inspired steak sauce, but the AI had a mind of its own, suggesting soy sauce and sesame oil without following Mancuso's lead. Talk about a tech tango gone wrong!
Bosworth later revealed that the AI went haywire, activating live AI on all the Meta glasses in the vicinity. It was a classic case of "We DDoSed ourselves" – a tech flood that caught them off guard due to the glasses' popularity during the live show.
Missed 'Legendary Status'
When Bugs Crash the Party
Then came the second demo mishap featuring the Meta Ray-Ban Display and the neural wristband. Zuckerberg's attempt at a video call hit a snag, with the wristband refusing to cooperate. Bosworth had to step in to save the day.
Turns out, a sneaky bug caused the notification glitch during the call, robbing them of potential glory. But fear not, as Bosworth assured that the bug is squashed, and video calling is back on track!
Despite the bumps in the road, the Meta launch still shone bright, winning hearts with its cutting-edge tech. So, stay tuned for more tech adventures and smoother live demos ahead!
