The social media giant&#8217;s demos <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/meta-ray-ban-display-glasses\">repeatedly failed<\/a>, leading to awkward stares, deafening silences, and muted laughter.<\/p>\n<p>The poor showing painfully demonstrates that the tech is far from ready,\u00a0even as companies continue to shove AI into every aspect of our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are high. Meta is spending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2025\/aug\/02\/big-tech-ai-spending\">tens of billions of dollars<\/a> to build out infrastructure and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/07\/31\/technology\/ai-researchers-nba-stars.html\">hire industry-leading staff<\/a> to support AI. Zuckerberg has also repeatedly doubled down on smart glasses <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/basic-flaw-mark-zuckerberg-plan-superintelligent-ai\">being the future of the company<\/a>, as well as AI-powered &#8220;superintelligence&#8221; as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one of those special moments where we get to show you something we&#8217;ve poured our lives into,&#8221; he told the crowd at this week&#8217;s event.<\/p>\n<p>Yet getting the tech to work on stage in front of a huge crowd proved too much, demonstrating once again that there&#8217;s still a <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/ai-coding-programmers-reality\">glaring gap<\/a> between the AI industry&#8217;s breathless promises and cold, hard reality.<\/p>\n<p>According to Zuckerberg&#8217;s vision of the near future, wearers of Meta&#8217;s glasses can converse with an AI chatbot to tell them what they&#8217;re looking at \u2014 or how to do things, like coaching on how to cook a dish.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes, the demo just doesn&#8217;t work.
