This is a joke video right? I was sure it was while watching it, but the other comments here seem to imply this is a real thing.
He wrote about it yesterday and someone in the comments asked him for the video. Mark replied that he would upload the video.
I want an assistant than can do things I can't do. I'm perfectly capable of switching on the lights or making my own toasts or letting my parents in. What I really want is an assistant that can do my taxes or find a damn good leather repair shop to come and pick up my couch that needs repairing. (Not so easy when you're not fluent in the native language!)
Vacuum the living room... Open the garage door... Mow the lawn... Switch TV to HBO... Compose an email with Jarvis...
There are a lot of things I'd like to have my personal assistant do, along with the proper connection to some real equipment. I hope this finally gets past being a gimmick. Maybe Zuckerberg will help to spawn the market.

Here's the "real" demo https://www.fastcompany.com/3066478/mind-and-machine/mark-zu...

In a previous thread, I mentioned that Paul Bettany would be the best voice for this sort of system. That said, Morgan Freeman is a fine alternative.

Regardless of it being true or not, it still feels kind of a gimmick to have a "bot" like that.
I've checked my calendar a couple times and nope, it's not April. This is also not on funnyordie.com so severely confused. The only possible real applications in this video are already done well by siri/google/alexa .. so he's either entering a well established market late or just talking about a pet project?
pet project, see https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/building-jarv... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13212976)
in that case very cool! Just wasn't sure if this was a quasi ad for some new service since the video was produced rather professionally
Shame - I have no facebook account and can not view. Any other sources ?
Per usual, the media will go crazy with this marketing/promoesque video, and ignore the actual state of the tech.
