introducing chatgpt's new feature conversation recall

Interacting with AI chatbots has often presented a challenge: once a conversation concludes, all context is lost. The AI fails to retain pertinent details, hampering its potential as a true digital assistant capable of providing personalized guidance.

OpenAI has now addressed this limitation by introducing a memory feature to ChatGPT, enabling the bot to recall important information from past interactions and utilize it in subsequent queries.

The mechanism is straightforward: users can prompt ChatGPT to remember specific details, such as a child’s peanut allergy or an email signature preference. Subsequently, the bot stores this information and applies it to future interactions and tasks.

Furthermore, the system accumulates knowledge organically over time, enhancing its understanding of user preferences and requirements.

Each custom GPT instance, like Books GPT, maintains its distinct memory, enabling more tailored experiences. For instance, Books GPT can recall previously read books and preferred genres. This feature is particularly beneficial for those using the diverse range of chatbots available in the GPT Store.

Although no different to the data storage practices of Google and others, concerns regarding privacy persist. OpenAI assures users of control over ChatGPT’s memory, with sensitive topics such as health data not automatically retained. Users can instruct the bot to forget information, supplemented by subtle adjustments accessible through the Manage Memory tab in the settings. For those uncomfortable with the concept, the option to disable the feature entirely also exists.

Currently in beta, the memory feature is being gradually introduced to a limited number of ChatGPT free and Plus users, with plans for broader availability in the future. In the interim, those intrigued by the concept can glimpse into a future that’s beginning to look a lot like the movie “Her”.

viasat satellite messaging tech showcased in saudi arabia

Satellite communications firm Viasat announced yesterday that it had completed its first demonstration of direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity technology in Saudi Arabia. The live broadcast took place during the “Connecting the World from the Skies” event in Riyadh, organized by Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) alongside the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Attendees witnessed successful satellite-based two-way messaging and SOS alerts sent using commercial Android smartphones and a combination of Viasat’s robust L-band satellite network and the Bullitt over-the-top messaging app. Signals were transmitted using the company’s L-band spacecraft positioned over the Indian Ocean, while the infrastructure for 3GPP NTN services was deployed by Viasat’s partner Skylo.

Sandeep Moorthy, Viasat’s Chief Technical Officer, emphasized the significance of the demonstration, explaining, “By expanding our direct-to-device innovation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we’re showcasing the potential for D2D services in the fast-growing Gulf and Asia-Pacific region. D2D could help reduce barriers to connectivity in regions where terrestrial services are spotty and unavailable to help transform industries and supply chains, enable new opportunities, and to become more efficient, sustainable and safer. We’d like to thank the CST for their support in carrying out this exciting demonstration”.

D2D technology allows devices like smartphones, vehicles, and industrial equipment to connect seamlessly to both satellite and terrestrial networks. Unlike traditional satellite setups, D2D eliminates the need for extra hardware, thanks to emerging global standards that are gaining traction among satellite operators, mobile network providers, and tech manufacturers.

What makes this approach particularly promising is that Viasat uses a licensed, dedicated satellite spectrum to deliver its D2D services. This avoids any interference with existing terrestrial networks, allowing smooth integration with mobile network operators in the future.

The demonstration clearly showed the potential of D2D technology to bridge connectivity gaps in remote regions while opening up opportunities for innovation, improved safety, sustainability, and efficiency.
