feeling really bad for the Meta OS team

The teleprompter kinda hinted it…

It's funny that it failed, but respect for them for doing actual live demos, not prerecorded fake slop.

there are many things i want to say about the emotional state of many people during this clip

many ask: "whats it like to tweet with 20-100k likes?" usually responses like this, regardless of the tweet

Many will be out of jobs

Don't feel bad for Indians writing terrible software that doesn't work.

live demos are brutal, remember when steve jobs had to swap iphones mid-keynote cause one froze

This is what true innovation actually looks like! This actually makes me super bullish - where is Tim Cook taking swings like this?

Ngl if Zuck just had some more charisma he could have played this off and gotten some laughs from the crowd. He was too fixated on it not working that he forgot he’s showing an early demo of an innovative product; people will give you a lot of leeway. Loosen up a little.

Unpopular opinion: failing in public is a reminder to the audience we are all human

Swing and a miss is better than no swing at all. Especially when he goes back to take some swings at the engineering team

damn twice in a row lmao

"If making new things was easy, everyone would do it."

SORRY GUYS I JUST NEED ANOTHER 14 TRILLION DOLLARS TO GET IT TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS

we really needed to see his biomarkers during that segment to assess the efficacy of his nervous system to deal with the stress

he's surprisingly stress-free seemingly all the time, it's quite remarkable. i'd guess they're pretty good but not perfect

Better like this than some stupid canned videos like Apple, that turn out to be vaporware.

Live demos are hard - good for Meta. If it doesn’t have a chance of messing up during the demo you’re not pushing forward enough.

Honestly I don't really see this as a bad thing It's a live demo. At the least I applaud Zuck for getting on stage and doing this and keeping things exciting When's the last time Apple has delivered an organic presentation like this?

Wasting billions on a piece of tech nobody wants or needs, just ask Apple and their flop Vision Pro

The demo failed and people starts clapping…typical of gen z era…you fail you still get s trophy…

I have seen thousands of demos in my life, many in my home (Siri, Insta360, and Matic Robots were launched in my home). I have seen many demo failures, too. This was unusual and hard to recover from. Siri, for instance, failed horribly on that first demo and they had to come back and do it again after they fixed a bunch of errors I found. The Wifi failed because when you have 1,000 people around you the wifi bandwidth gets saturated. Preventing that would have taken a very expert radio team. It's possible to do, but you have to have a team that really understands wifi. And that's very hard to test for in advance. The AI failing sounds like it didn't hear, or understand him properly, and the presenter wasn't expert enough with the device, or the AI, to try something else and get it on track. I do feel sorry for them. Left a bad taste for sure in a day when things should have rocked. It's not the first time Boz's stuff failed. I thought he should have gotten fired a couple of years ago when they had a Super Bowl commercial and couldn't get 15,000 people into their VR experience. Just a mess demoing things. I was back stage when Microsoft launched Access 1.0. Their demo failed horribly. Turned out a product demoed before them corrupted the database and they couldn't figure out why it wasn't working on stage. The team was in tears. So many people worked for so long on these products that I can't imagine anyone is having fun tonight there.

2 trillion dollar company btw

young people don't remember. jobs was great.

Props to Zuck doing this, imagine Tim Cook being ok to be in this situation

Spending everythang on Alexandr Wang

One variable remains the same. •

can you imagine the amount of heads that are currently severed from their bodies and now rolling down the hallways of meta?!

This is totally typical for Meta. Half of Facebook and Instagram beyond the most basic functionality also doesn't work as it should. It's so frustrating if you need to use their ads since you are in a constant battle with broken interfaces

Didn’t he drop like $12B on an avengers level AI team, that meeting tomorrow going to be wild

so we long more meta?

Move fast break things and never bet against Zuck.

they had 4 live demos; 3 of which failed.

Yeahhh….it was the WiFi…..as they perfectly communicate over WiFi. 🤦‍♂️

This is what happens when you hire teams of people based on how fast they can smash out leet code problems instead of hiring people based on how much quality software they've shipped.
