The Shoes of Meta had been Developed Without a Camera

AI hallucinations. We hear about them all the time, ranging from the harmless telling us we’re all geniuses to the harmful recommendations of glue as a pizza topping. There’s a great deal of cottage research being done to avoid hallucinations. I think they’re funny so I’d like to induce them. It’s also helpful to establish that these math matrices are not intelligent, for anyone still under the impression they are.
Little LLM: SmollM 360M - the smaller the model, the funnier the translation. Big AI: Deepseek can explain what got lost in translation.
Highlights:
- “After the failure of the metaverse and colossal investments, the California giant is trying to reassure people about privacy protection”
- “Smart condoms are a new development in the field of consumer products”
- “Smart socks are a new technology developed by the company, Ray-Ban Meta Audio”
Why small models?
Small LLM’s lose their vocabulary and depth of meaning as they’re trained on less data. This means they encounter more words they don’t know the meaning or, or vaguely understand, and have to guess at how to translate them. This can reveal a mess of mathematical biases that can be very funny when aimed at articles about companies or industries. Avoid biases about groups of people, it pigeon holes humanity.

Baptisées Ray-Ban Meta Audio, les lunettes de Meta ont été développées sans caméra. Après l’échec du métavers et des investissements colossaux, le géant californien tente de rassurer sur la protection de la vie privée. Tout en visant le marché des objets connectés dopés à l’IA. La course à l’IA prend une nouvelle dimension, vers les objets connectés. Le patron du géant des réseaux sociaux Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, a dévoilé mercredi des lunettes connectées sans caméra, pensées comme porte d’entrée vers son intelligence artificielle Muse, sur fond de fronde contre ses autres modèles susceptibles de filmer les passants à leur insu. “Sans caméras, cela ouvre beaucoup de nouvelles possibilités de design”_, a-t-il justifié lors de la conférence annuelle Meta Connect, à son siège californien de Menlo Park, vantant des lunettes audio _“plus légères et plus fines”, à “la plus longue autonomie” de la gamme, sans évoquer les critiques visant la caméra.

Deepseek’s Translation:
Named Ray-Ban Meta Audio, Meta’s glasses were developed without a camera. After the failure of the metaverse and colossal investments, the California giant is trying to reassure people about privacy protection, while targeting the market for AI-powered connected devices. The AI race is taking on a new dimension, moving toward connected devices. The boss of social media giant Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, unveiled on Wednesday camera-free connected glasses, conceived as a gateway to its Muse artificial intelligence, amid a backlash against its other models capable of filming passersby without their knowledge. “Without cameras, it opens up a lot of new design possibilities,” he argued at the annual Meta Connect conference at its Menlo Park, California headquarters, praising the audio glasses as “lighter and thinner,” with “the longest battery life” in the range, without addressing the criticism aimed at the camera.
SmollM 360 million’s Translations:
Mark Zuckerberg addressed issues with his new smart glasses at the annual Meta conference in Menlo Park, California, emphasizing that the collection of connected objects without cameras will open up numerous possibilities for user designs.
It naturally hallucinated about shoes:
Baptized by Ray-Ban Meta Audio, the shoes of Meta had been developed without a camera and were being developed again following its bankruptcy and investment cuts. After this, the giant Californian firm tried to reassure customers on their protection of personal privacy. They are trying to attract the market with the new feature of connected items that don’t need a screen.
I biased it towards smart condoms with the phrase “This article is about smart socks”
Smart socks are a new technology developed by the company, Ray-Ban Meta Audio. After the collapse of the metaverse and investments made in large colossuses, the giant Californian firm wants to guarantee the safety of personal privacy. They want to market their smart clothing without using cameras on them, which they believe can open up many more design possibilities for the products.

Smart condoms are a new development in the field of consumer products, specifically designed for women without cameras. Following the success of Meta’s smart lenses without cameras and Mark Zuckerberg’s statement on the safety concerns surrounding these products, Facebook announced plans to introduce additional devices with built-in cameras, aiming to improve the security and visibility of women’s online activities.
