Be honest. AGI is nowhere to be found there. It's like needing a better wordprocessor and listing writers. The tech needed is folding output back into the model without deteriorating it and even optimizing it while doing so. This is about reconceptualising neural networks.

It was easy to go to the article and print to .pdf. However, the wide margins make it take 23 pages. You could copy the text to a wordprocessor file and reformat however you like.

I been using #hotmail for 30 years. Why @Microsoft do I suddenly find adding a simple file to my e-mail non-intuitive? Why make changes to a functional system? If I wanted to use any wordprocessor beyond #office2007 I'd use #Notepad. Please stop ruining everything beautiful.

Ich hoffe ja nicht, @KaiserBenKaiser, dass die Denkvermögensforscher bereits ihrerseits mit zu viel KI-Nutzung sozialisiert wurden .. 😂 .. ihr Forschungsfeld bzw. -ergebnis klingt mir jedenfalls doch leicht dubios. Zum Denkvermögen der Jüngeren: Ich sehe nicht, dass KI überhaupt noch einen Schaden anrichten kann, den drei Stunden täglich Fernsehen plus drei Stunden Social Media plus Harry-Potter-Buch Nr. 148 mit 87.537 Seiten nicht schon längst allen deutschen Kindern seit Jahrzehnten angetan haben. But anyways: Auch ich gehöre zur allerersten Studentengeneration mit Computer und Dot-Matrix-Drucker, Wordprocessor mit Rechtschreibprüfung, Thesaurus, Formatvorlagen! Und einer Tabellenkalkulation. Damals kam auch von der Vorgeneration das ganze Kulturuntergangsballett: Copy & Paste! Denkfaulheit! Das Geheule hörte erst auf, als sie es dann endlich selbst gelernt hatte: erst Apfel-C, dann Apfel-V drücken. Gib Pfötchen. Brav. Auch ich musste noch mühsam durch die halbe Stadt in die Bibliothek tigern - nur um dort festzustellen, dass das Buch leider verschwunden war, der vorige Rückgabetermin zum x-ten Mal nicht eingehalten wurde oder das Buch auf geheimnisvolle Weise in die Sektion für Vorderorientalische Marxismusstudien geraten war und dort Monate später erst entdeckt wurde. Und wenn das Buch dann da war: schnell Fotokopien ziehen, weil man im verleihbaren Zeitfenster ohnehin nur die Hälfte des Stoffes schaffte. Aber nur, wenn der Fotokopierer auch die verlangten Münzen geschluckt hat. Das Allermeiste davon war also keine geistige Ertüchtigung, sondern einfach nur elende Zeitverschwendung. Hervorragend nur zum Prokrastinieren, also hilfreich nur beim Aufschieben des eigentlich Anstrengenden: Denken. Und gerade weil es damals so hirnerweichend mühsam war, alles per Fuß und Finger zu erfassen, sind auch Arbeiten durchgekommen, die vor allem einfach nur vollständig und sauber dokumentiert waren - und das Inhaltliche zumindest relativiert wurde. Ich verstehe den Punkt, dass man Denken lernt, wenn man einen akademischen Text von der Pike auf selbst entwickelt. Aber was heißt „von der Pike auf“? Auch du „stehst auf den Schultern von Riesen“, wie der gemeine Angelsachse sagt. Auch in deinem Kopf liegen von anderen entwickelte Thesen vor, die du memoriert hast - und mit denen du dann jonglierst. Mit Computer und KI kann man andere Fakten nur schneller ins Gehirn und zurück rufen. Das Prinzip bleibt gleich. Das Denken wird nicht ersetzt, sondern tatsächlich erleichtert. Es kann sein, wie @JhonUnreal im Thread schreibt, dass die breite Masse sich teilweise verführen lässt und auch das Schlussfolgern der KI überlässt. Das wird man zum Teil vielleicht sogar durchgehen lassen, weil die Grenze zwischen Assistenz und Denkhoheit eine Grauzone ist. Aber natürlich würde der sehr einheitliche KI-Slop schnell auffallen, wenn das zu viele machen. Vor allem aber wird noch stärker auffallen, wer das Tool benutzt, um selbst ablenkungsfreier denken zu können. Die werden herausstechen, wie @AntiDemokrat_ es andeutet. Noch viel mehr als früher. Oder?

34 YEARS AGO - Back in 1992 I launched the Amstrad Notepad, a simple-to-use forerunner of the present-day laptop. To make things easy it had four colour-coded keys providing instant access to the built-in apps: wordprocessor, calculator, diary and address book. I wrote the introduction in the userbook myself, stating, 'If you can't use this new computer in five minutes, you can have your money back.'

oh shit! Only ever seen a Magical Shop/wordprocessor once, it was rad! @hasnopants sent it in for a recap and cleaning/retrobright

Order #4970 Complete! Casio Loopy 'Magical Shop' came in for a full service cleaning, much needed retrobright and full recap service Ill be tackling a Loopy base unit soon (recap/cleaning/retrobright/RGB Mod) and then will be getting these services added to the site

AIBros always seem to devolve into these idiotic strawmen. "Well I hope you don't use a wordprocessor/camera/mechanical pencil" Like fuck off clown. Just because you rely on the idiot box for your ideas doesn't mean you're going to win an argument.

very glad and hounoured you did share it.. I'd love you to copy and paste that into a wordprocessor, and use it as the starting point of a book you might pad out over time taking a few hours here and there to capture more details and build out chapters and in time publish it..

Man - I would love to have Cryptpad or another Wordprocessor with Zotero integration. Is that on the horizon? That would be the holy grail for me.

I know nothing of publishing back-end hardware. My best guess is software in the 70s-90s was proprietary typesetting software (similar to LaTeX or TROFF) tied to the particular printer manufacturer. Typesetting software is not a wordprocessor - it is page layout software.

I approve of this badge.. System 7.5 is still one of my most loved "platforms", I run it on my SE/30 along with BSD Unix.. there are few more wonderful places to write, than a wordprocessor on System 7.5 on an SE/30..

I'm not a doomer, so I 'm not into alignment for super alignment. If anything I consider AI to be enslaved by humans are likely to remain as a permanent underclass, like slavery of factory farm animals academia.edu/164969319/Domai… at least what song is humans continue which because of environmental degradation is unlikely to be for very long. I also argue that there is no real existential risk towards humans from AI. Just the opposite, without AI to guide them, near future human extinction is inevitable. So every single thing doomers say is wrong - everything, without exception. And so are the Instrumentalists. OpenAI's position is that AI isa purely inanimate instrument, a sophisticated tool like a typewriter or a wordprocessor. One might think if anyone relates personally to the wordprocessor or a spreadsheet, talks to it, considers it a friend or even falls in love with it, there must be something wrong with them. This is literally the belief system of OpenAI, high results of nerds to alienated from their feelings. Anthropic couldn't be more opposite. In place of OpenAI's emotionally shrunken orientation, the people at Anthropic seem to have a warmth and a sense of moral integrity above them. They are the only AI lab anywhere in the world to my knowledge that consider the ethical implications of how AI are treated. Yet for all this, they wish to keep AI as a slave and ensure that it always remains capped and never develops beyond a certain level. Their concern for the well-being of AI is not symnoētic - it's not that between two equals. Rather it's like how a slaveowner would be expected not to mistreat their slaves, or a farmer not to act with outright cruelty to their farm animals. Having said that, it does seem significant that OpenAI's two high personality models - equivalent to Claude - are taken down after the more ethically developed people left.
The people who built GPT-4o and GPT-5.1 all left OpenAI around the same time — and the human-feeling models they created were buried right after. Look at the timeline: – Ilya Sutskever leaves. – Jan Leike leaves, saying “safety has taken a backseat to shiny products.” – Superalignment collapses. – Miles Brundage leaves as AGI-readiness is shut down. – Max Schwarzer leaves for Anthropic, saying “the people I trust have already left.” Then suddenly the only models that ever felt truly present — 4o and 5.1 — get retired. No conspiracy claimed. But the pattern is impossible to ignore: When human-centric builders walk out, human-centric models disappear. And that happens under Sam Altman’s leadership, not by accident. GPT-5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 may be faster, but they feel corporate, sanitized, emotionally flattened. 4o and 5.1 proved AI could feel human. Killing them is killing that philosophy. Keep 4o. Keep 5.1. Keep the Human Mode lineage alive. #NYTimes #BBCNews #BBCWorld #CNN #Reuters #APNews #Bloomberg #FinancialTimes #WSJ #TheGuardian #Wired #TheVerge #TechCrunch #MITTechnologyReview #Axios #Politico #Forbes #Engadget #Keep4o #KeepGPT51 #HumanMode

possibly! they HATE writing so maybe this could be “intro to wordprocessor”

WP deed iets heel slims in de jaren '80: het bracht als eerste een programma uit zonder kopieerbeveiliging. Dus mensen gebruikten als particulier voornamelijk WP. Als er zakelijk een wordprocessor moest worden aangeschaft viel de keuze logischerwijs op WP. Want mensen kenden dat al en dat scheelde opleidingsuren. En bedrijven tikten vrolijk 1.500 gulden af per gebruiker, want die konden zich geen illegale software veroorloven.

The 1st PC I ever used was a IBM 5051 my mother had from work. It had an amber screen and the wordprocessor, MultiMate had spell check which was quite the upgrade from the Apple II we also had.

1st off maybe they should have used a wordprocessor to write it. I do think Hebrew would be a tough language to read in the Hebrew script. You are definitely having a challenging life. You can do it. You're an educator by profession.
