This smells like bullshit. The AI was giving responses. If it was truly DDoS or wifi it wouldn't have been able to answer the query at all. What happened here was the AI wasn't giving responses as rehearsed before, it skipped ahead steps it.
Even if true, kinda a rudamentary mistake for a multi billion dollar company to make. How did you not think people would show up with your product to record you unveiling the new product.
But the audience for this product will eat up this explanation.
I am not the core audience for this product as I loathe Meta with a passion but I’m also an IT professional with primary focus on hardware and system architecture/networking with 30 years experience. This explanation sounds painfully accurate and very plausible and just short sighted enough to pass my smell test. That doesn’t mean it’s accurate but I totally believe it.
Those glasses should have been sandboxed to hell and back if not totally scripted/faked for demo purposes. Wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if somebody gets fired because of it.
In my opinion it just makes the whole thing more real. I’m excited about the tech, just not from Meta. I’d become a full blown Luddite before I wear anything with a Meta name on it.
Sysadmin for the last decade, 100% agreed. In fact, the explanation kinda had me laughing. "Yep, I can see that exact scenario!"
