Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth explained the reasons behind the failed smart glasses demos at Meta Connect. The initial issue with the chef's glasses was due to the Live AI feature triggering on all Ray-Ban Meta glasses in the building, causing a resource overload. This was compounded by routing Live AI traffic to the development server, effectively creating a DDoS attack on their own system. The WhatsApp call failure was attributed to a new "race condition" bug where the display sleeping prevented the answer notification from appearing. Bosworth clarified these were demo failures, not product failures, expressing confidence in the product's functionality.
