Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Demo Botched by Live AI DDoS, WhatsApp Bug
Meta’s live demos of its Ray-Ban smart glasses sputtered after two high-profile failures. CTO Andrew Bosworth says a chef’s “Hey Meta, start Live AI” accidentally triggered Live AI on every device in the building — effectively DDoS-ing Meta. A separate WhatsApp video call failed due to a “sleep” bug that’s now fixed. The candid onstage mishaps stood out against today’s usually pre-recorded demos.
