The AI being hyped right now is not AI at all. It’s really important that we all acknowledge this, that the world is selling itself a multi-billion-dollar lemon: predictive text engines that have nothing intelligent about them. They’re giant sorting machines, which is why they’re so good at identifying patterns in scientific research, and could genuinely advance medicine in wonderful ways. But what they cannot do is think, and as such, it’s a collective mass-delusion that these systems have any use in our day-to-day lives beyond plagiarism.

Goddamn, a gaming outlet saying what the serious grown-up press should have been saying from the start!

“Yeah, let’s try it. [Korean-style steak sauce is] not something I’ve made before,” says Mancuso, remembering his script, “so I could definitely use the help.”

Then at the end of the article they embed an Instagram video from 2023 of Mancuso making a Korean-style steak sauce. *chef’s kiss*

Try not to imagine what the money he's blown on AI could have been spent on that would actually benefit mankind.

Enjoyed this? Also watch Mark trying and failing to answer a video call on the thing.

All in all, it's a shame.
The 'texting' demo they did with Mark writing a text message via "pen motions" was pretty neat.
It feels like Google's "GLASS" vision finally coming to fruition, problem is, we're not in 2013 anymore.
A product like this demands high trust in the company behind it to work and Google, Facebook, etc, have evaporated any trust I had in them.
It's a sad state of affairs, a product like this felt like the future back then. It used to be so exciting, nowadays I can't be excited for this stuff anymore... 👎

Hey guys! Want a way to do everything you can do on your cell phone but 100 times worse and more expensive? Well check out this piece of shit!

Direct link, it’s great https://bsky.app/profile/shacknews.com/post/3lz344mxmb22a

Do these guys even know how to do a rigged demo?

Also, in case you'd rather just see:

I've had my share of botched tech demos, so I can empathize. Steve Jobs, during an early iPhone demo legitimately blamed the Moscone Center wifi (I was there).

But this was just bad demo planning at every level. I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing.

His demo got demoed?

Wow, that's a terribly written article, or whatever type of text this is pretending to be.

So the takeaway from this is invest in a company that promises better WiFi?

I'm confused. I know "Facebook AI who should I give my money to?"

I wonder how many people Zuck yelled at later that day?

Oh, it could have gone worse. It didn't burst into flames.

Move fast and break things. No fix, just break.

Moron.

Oh this shit makes me so fucking happy. I can't stop laughing at this. https://youtu.be/I5_JrfvO4G8

Hahaha, heeheee, guffaw even.

What a total bonehead.

I bet they did not even do a test run.

Did no one tell them to pickup the phone receiver and yell into to get the modem going again? Oh ya it was the “wifi”.
