"Consequence Culture" nabs first victim.
As you have certainly heard, by now, “cancel culture” has officially transitioned to “consequence culture,” a very neat re-branding that is being hailed in the halls of power. Consequence culture, unlike cancel culture, eliminates public and private figures for thinking or saying the wrong things and, hours ago, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg became its first victim.
The incident occurred at Meta’s live rollout of its new AI-infused Ray-Ban sunglasses. Zuckerberg, who is used to pressure thanks to his big wave surf training and close friendship with ice-cold Kai Lenny, stood alone on stage and first asked his cool shades’ artificial intelligence to answer a simple WhatsApp call.
It could not.
He then awkwardly pivoted to a live video feed of a chef and casually asked him to make a Korean-inspired steak sauce. The chef, playing coy, tried to ask his AI Ray-Bans for instructions.
No help was given.
Zuckerberg alone in front of the world suffering the brutal consequence of asking AI for anything but especially not WhatsApp calls, which often originate from overseas, or Korean-inspired steak sauce, when Americans invented it.
Donald Trump Jr. certainly giggling up his manly hunting jacket sleeve.
But did you feel bad for Kauai’s Chief of Compound as he stammered and grew pink or did you laugh at his discomfort?

sorry for the not-even-close -to-surf-adjacent comment here (maybe close to Chas’s heart?), but no way would this last on META lmore than 5 minutes before the fascist “Community Standards” erasure cancel… 7/8 of the way through this book… I had no idea what I was getting into learning of the headspace and hollow chest cavity of Mark Z. and the cult members who served him working at Facebook during the author’s time there… Read this book if you think our friends at BG are too harsh on this guy… you couldn’t make this stuff up… (also, the author is a New Zealander/shark attack survivor – there’s your BG-adjacent angle here)
