We’ve all been there: you’re waiting on an important call, you’ve hyped it up, and then… nothing. At Meta Connect, that exact scenario played out, but with an AI twist.
Zuckerberg and his team tried to show off the Ray-Ban glasses paired with a neural wristband, promising the future of hands-free video calls. The plan? CTO Andrew Bosworth would call in live, and Zuck would answer with just a flick of his fingers.
The reality? The glasses… didn’t pick up. The call sat there, ignored, like an unanswered FaceTime from your aunt. The crowd chuckled, Zuck smirked, and the demo moved on, proving once again that even billion-dollar tech can have “Do Not Disturb” mode at the worst time.
If anything, it made the product feel oddly human. Who hasn’t ghosted a call (accidentally or not)? AI just joined the club.
So next time your phone freezes during a Zoom, remember: even Meta’s AI glasses pull the same stunt on stage.
