Mark Zuckerberg’s MetaConnect 2025 keynote on Wednesday quickly turned into a humiliating experience. The company’s demos of its new artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses failed repeatedly, causing Zuckerberg to stammer his way through awkward silences. “This is, uh… it happens,” the CEO stammered after his smart glasses refused to accept a WhatsApp video call on stage. “Let’s try it again, I …

An August study from MIT found that 95% of …

“When the chef said ‘hey Meta, start Live AI,’ it started every single Meta Ray-Ban’s Live AI in the building,” said Bosworth. “We had routed Live AI traffic to our dev server, in theory, to isolate it, but we had done it for everyone in that building on those access points.
