Mark Zuckerberg Humiliated as AI Glasses Debut Fails in Front of Huge Crowd (futurism.com)

On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a slew of new augmented reality glasses, including what he claimed to be the "first AI glasses with high resolution," a new $799 version of its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses that features a tiny screen that's viewable to the wearer.

But it didn't take long for the company's MetaConnect 2025 keynote to descend into chaos. The social media giant's demos repeatedly failed, leading to awkward stares, deafening silences, and muted laughter.

The poor showing painfully demonstrates that the tech is far from ready, even as companies continue to shove AI into every aspect of our daily lives.

Is it just me or is the domain for the link no longer active?

I think they got the link from Twitter, and then tried to modify it so it goes through xcancel, but forgot the c. This works: https://xcancel.com/altryne/status/1968473903816224913
