You're being bad for the community. But thanks for including a well - spoken, albeit opinionated reply, in your otherwise rude, projecting, and downright censorious comment.
Readit News> They are fans of going to heaven
I can sympathize, heaven seems at least better than the other place. What I don't understand is how eschatological (which are essentially fatalistic) beliefs translate into support for Israel. In a world governed by fate it doesn't matter what you do, it's all predetermined anyway. Which seems to align more with the core Christian teachings: we should not judge (because no-one is essentially free from their fatefully determined destiny).
I could be wrong.
This rationale is fundamentally incorrect. God's gift of Free Will (unto Man) is specifically the power (with faith) to manifest that which is nondeterministic. Where you got this notion of determinism, and thus nonjudgment, is a fancy set of mental gymnastics which is inconsistent with any known Christian teachings.
No, I expect people to stop pretending that LLMs somehow know context unlike the stupid Siri.
There's considerably more in that prompt besides just "you need to act like a home assistant"
There was insufficient context.
Imagine I tell you "turn on that light, where I'm pointing". You'd do no better. No one here is under the conviction magical prescience is involved. This tooling provides the mechanism for an initial API call to be tied to the event described, in natural language, as "look where I'm pointing".
The first response (to ask for clarification) is precisely what a human agent would do to get context to clarify the coarse-grained request. The second guess, assuming you disabled the (explicit) allowance for clarifying questions, is also a magnificent recognition of implicit, common-sense context. Seems it's even more effective than you at following the true context for this tools appropriate placement.
We're back to "how is it different from Siri".
You had to provide two pages of text and do manual mapping between human-readable names and some weird identifiers to provide the simplest functionality.
Funnily, this functionality is also completely unpredictable.
I ran your prompt and first request, and got "Identify the area with the lowest observed request volume and increase the brightness of the light in that area to improve the lighting." ChatGPT then proceeded to increase brightness in the garage.

It's also funny how in the discussion about context the context of the app is forgotten.
Indeed, the context is "people using natural language to make requests". No soul on earth would consider/use your phrasing.
I (a human) have clue what your request is for - "lowest observed request volume"...??? Try "raisr the lights where we usually aren't asking you for much" and you might get tge same result. As far as I can tell, brightness increase in the garage (where, I'd guess, you've made the least requests), the AI apparenyly understood better than you or I what you meant.
Your false dichotomy is disingenuous, a distraction/derailment to the discourse, and does not engage in addressing the issue of a person wanting to pay the developer yet having no privacy-respecting way to do so.
Please revisit site guidelines on "snark".

It's an MIT press release. Technique probably doesn't work at any interesting distance, but this way they can make it sound as if they've discovered something incredible without ever having to acknowledge that they know it won't work as described.
An "interesting distance" at which this device could communicate is the distance which the Titan submersible operated below its ship.

Maybe I'm not understanding, but isn't this reflecting sound back, generated by something else? It seems the device uses one millionth the power, but the thing stimulating the device uses an unspecified amount, that would increase dramatically with distance. Unfortunately this is an MIT press release, so it will be impossible to understand what's actually going on.
Does anyone have a more informative link?
There is no more information, as described in TFA, for reasons of this information having not been discovered yet by the researchers studying the new tech.

> He is anti-choice ... he would not implement a federal ban
As Americans have a lot of freedom to choose which state they live in, I don't see how this can possibly be described as "anti-choice". Being anti-choice would mean implementing a federal ban.
Abortion bans aren't about religious authority or "anti-individualism", even though most religions are against abortion. They exist because at some point the foetus transitions to become a person who themselves must have basic rights defended by the government and (possibly religious) morality. At that point the choice is by definition not an individual choice because it controls the baby's life, and the baby is an individual.
That's why it's totally normal for even very secular countries to have abortion bans in place after a certain number of weeks.
> This is Plato's Noble lie [3] and fundamentally anti-individualist.
You are misrepresenting his point very badly here and it feels deliberate. Ramaswamy isn't saying he opposes secularism. He isn't even passing opinion on the phenomenon in question. The statements you quoted are phrased as neutral observation. He's arguing that this outcome appears to be inevitable regardless of what he or anyone else personally wants.
The argument for inevitability is inevitably a lie.
His opinion is engulfed in the notion that there exists no individual whose will is truly free as if given by God alone.

Bad implementations shouldn’t prevent you from toying with an idea in theory in your head. That’s just a failure of the imagination (in many cases).
"Toying with an idea" is fundamentally considering its real world implementation unless your toy idea is intended to only ever be just fantasy.
This comes at a cost but looking around at comparable outsourcing situations, everyone follows the same line of thinking. Sell my responsibility for (someone else’s) money.
