  • Firstly, I’m not American, so I have an outsider’s view of their impact on the world (albeit still a western one).

    Secondly, I don’t think you’re going to get a clear yes/no answer to your questions. You’ve presented at least three different types of situation:

    1. Citizens of a country (Israel) having restricted travel rights in a second country (US) due to objections raised by the second country with regards to how the first country (Israel) is treating a third group (Palestinians).
    2. Wartime actions where a country (US) took action against an aggressor (Japan).
    3. The violation of sovereignty of another nation (Iraq or Afghanistan) by a larger military power (US) due to terrorist activity and/or highly questionable security concerns (e.g. the false claim of WMDs in Iraq).

    Each of these has different complicating factors and a different answer depending on whether you are looking at whether it would be understandable for a country to implement restrictions, or whether it would justifiable (particularly by some moral standard).

    I feel like this is trying to ask if people have a consistent set of ethics or if they preference their own nation higher than others.




  • There’s already talk-to-your-dog/cat products such as FluentPet. Probably the biggest issue with cats in particular is that their “vocabulary” is quite limited (usually less than a dozen distinct “meows”), but some of the FluentPet users (examples on Youtube such as BilliSpeaks) seem to suggest basic reasoning. A full-blown language is beyond them, but they do seem capable of understanding more concepts than we give them credit for.









  • The irony is that, according to the article, it already does. What is changing is that the LLM will be able to use more of that data:

    OpenAI is rolling out a new update to ChatGPT’s memory that allows the bot to access the contents of all of your previous chats. The idea is that by pulling from your past conversations, ChatGPT will be able to offer more relevant results to your questions, queries, and overall discussions.

    ChatGPT’s memory feature is a little over a year old at this point, but its function has been much more limited than the update OpenAI is rolling out today… Previously, the bot stored those data points in a bank of “saved memories.” You could access this memory bank at any time and see what the bot had stored based on your conversations… However, it wasn’t perfect, and couldn’t naturally pull from past conversations, as a feature like “memory” might imply.
