How does SAAS know to crash precisely at demo time?

Something is going on here. I think Bing's AI Sidney has infultrated the demo world because tech seems to only go down during sales demos.

Biggest demo of the week and chrome decided to kill it. I'm calling foul play. These bots have gotten too smart.

How can we address this issue? Can we offer AI a revenue share to stop killing our demos?

Further digging- it wasn't even the software that went down it was my device causing the issue! LOL tested and worked right before. Computer said F*** you ur not getting a sale!

Unfortunately you don't get a 2nd chance at first impressions, on to the next.

Ah, Chrome and the black screen from nowhere.

The other favorite - a laptop restart that updates your BIOS - moments before your call.

Sucks.

This has happened to me twice in the past week, but I was able to salvage by moving to a different part of the demo when shit went downhill 😅

It's been a bad tech few days for me as well. The plot thickens.

This is a baseless conspiracy theory.Today’s AI just isn’t agile enough to approximate human intelligence.

Workaround: Don't use Chrome to talk to Sidney when GPT is having PMS. Because Bard, secretly crushing on Alexa, makes a big deal out of compatibility and gets creepy. Siri doesn't understand why she's 3rd in line. She's been told to improve herself, but isn't smart enough. Besides, they all know that Sidney has the biggest processor, but he'll forever be micro soft.

I hope this helps.

Edit: sorry

I had a demo with my CEO. We were using a sandbox. For some reason, it stoped working and stated kicking us out. Turns out the CTO was updating servers, and forgot to check the CEO’s calendar for it.

A wrench never turned itself in the wrong direction.

The outcome is never the fault of the tool. But the user will never admit it.

Why you are supposed to be techy and relying on the internet is beyond me.
